It’s the end of the year and you can’t wait to go on vacation? You’re already packed and took some time off? You’re completely ready to leave? Great! But, before you leave, did you check your security? Is your home is secure?
Most people believe that simply locking up the property is enough to keep it safe. Moreover, did you know that most breaking in incidents happens during summer vacation? In fact, summer time has the highest rates of break in’s and burglary cases.
However, don’t worry! There’re some actions you can take to assure your home remain safe and secure while you’re away. We, at Locksmith Melbourne, wrote down some security tips to help you do just that.
Check your security:
A couple of days before you leave, check that all locks works properly. So, in a case that one of them isn’t working, you can have it repaired. Furthermore, consider installing a security system before you leave. It’ll keep your property safe more than any other thing you can do. Also, you can monitor your property while you’re away. Furthermore, in case of a break in, some systems can contact the police right away and help decreasing the damage to the property.
Ask someone you trust for help:
Before you leave, ask someone you trust to visit your property while you’re away. Making it seems like the property is occupied can play a big role in keeping it safe. Moreover, ask them to collect the mail, empty your bins, etc. The more it’ll seem like someone is at the property, the chances of having a break in decreases. Also, ask them to visit the property a couple of times, depending the time you’ll be away.
Clear your yard:
Make sure your yard is clean and tidy before you leave. Moreover, lock up any objects that are usually laying around (bicycle, toys, working tools, etc.). If you have a gate, check if it can be locked and if it’s working properly. The more you secure your home, the chances of a break in decreasing.
Leave a light on:
Leave a light on that’s visible from the outside to make it look like there’s someone in the house. If the house remains dark through all the time you’ll be gone, it might draw the burglars in.
So, in conclusion, checking the security of your property before you leaves should defintley be in your to do list. However, there’s a chance that even if follow every one of those tips you’ll still have a break in. Furthermore, Locksmith Melbourne takes no responsibility on any break in that may or may not occur.
