Keep Las Vegas Homes Safe from Intruders

Feeling safe in
your home is very important in truly enjoying your life. It also gives you a peace of mind that the whole
family and your property are protected. Although you have security systems
installed in your home, you still have to take additional precautions. Key
areas of Las Vegas homes which thieves can acquire access through are the external
doors of your home. To help you secure your valuable home, here is some useful
information to discourage any thieves.

• The kind of material your doors are made
  from can really affect their protection level. Outside doors must not contain
  non-reinforced glass panels. These can be simply shattered by thieves. The
  doors should be made of strong materials such as metal or fiberglass or a solid
  wood.

• Use a door security alarm that activates
  when the door is opened. The noise and the
  light will alert you to a possible intruder. A door security alarm is an inexpensive
  way to protect your home and they can fit into your windows.

• Locking your doors may seem like a
  perceptible security measure. However, there are still homeowners
  leave their doors open when they go to a shop or visit a neighbor’s home. Even
  if you are inside your home, you should keep your doors locked as thieves can
  sneak in and steal your belongings. This can be an extremely disappointing
  experience.

• Many home doors have the hinges exposed.
  Thieves could easily unscrew hinges and simply take off the door to enter your home.
  So, if your hinge is obvious relocate it inside. This is also true with garden shed
  so if you keep an expensive gear in your shed, make sure the hinge is inside. You
  can also invest in some non-removable hinge pins to increase your home
  security.

• Most Las Vegas homes
  have at least one bolt on the
  door to support the main lock but for complete peace of mind you could set up a
  dead-lock. Dead-lock is a lock that does not have an outside key. This means
  that the only way to get in without the lock being opened from the inside is by
  force. These locks are evident from outside so they will act as a deterrent for
  any potential stealers.

• Peep holes allow you to see a person on
  the other side of the door before you open it. Peep holes are useful as you do
  not need to open your door to see outside. You can also avoid people possibly
  forcing their way into your home.

Securing
your outside doors means that you can guard your home from possible thieves. In
addition, it gives you a sense of relief that your precious family and home are
protected.
