BURGLARY PREVENTION

A CHECKLIST

•  Lock all doors including the garage, windows and gates, pet doors and access points. Lock your doors even when at home.
• Remove any spare keys hidden outside your home.
• Remove keys from window locks.
• Install deadlocks on all external doors and windows but do not forget to unlock the dead lock when inside.
• Install a security screen door, monitored alarm system, cameras and sensor lighting.
• Leave out a dog bowl or lead, even if you do not have a dog.
• Install a safe to store valuables.
• Keep tools and ladders locked away so thieves cannot use them to access your home.
• Make it look like someone is home when you are out or away – cancel newspapers, have someone collect your mail, make sure your bins are brought in, etc.
• Do not leave keys in the car and lock the car when parking at home or in the garage.
