ΚΛΕΙΔΑΡΙΕΣ ΑΣΦΑΛΕΙΑΣ ΠΕΙΡΑΙΑΣ ΤΙΜΕΣ As a homeowner, you want to make sure that your house is protected. While you may believe it is only necessary to install an alarm system in your home, you have many other choices. Continue to read to learn what other options you have to boost your home's security. Be sure that your home is always occupied. There are timers you can use to make electronics turn on and off at random times. This way it will always look as if someone is home, even when you are away. This is a simple way to give people up to no good think that you are home. Talk to people you know about their security systems. Other people are sure to have opinions and experiences to share. Therefore, ask everyone you can in order to obtain the most advice. With thorough advice, the best decision can be made. If you retain a space key for when you get locked out, consider the place you hide it carefully. The doormat is too obvious of a place to hide it, as robbers will look there first. One good place to hide a spare key is in the collar of a dog that does not take kindly to strangers. When you're going away, turn off your phone ringers. A ringing phone that goes unanswered may signal to a burglar that nobody is home. Do not tell anyone that you are going on vacation out of your friend circle. Though trips are always fun to talk about, you may be doing little more than telling burglars the best times to visit your house. The first thing to do is get your locks changed out. Whether you just bought your home or someone just moved out that you were living with, this is an important step to any new situation. This is something that you can do yourself and does not cost much money at all. Be sure to secure the skylights to your home. Though skylights bring light into your home and look nice, it is also a very common way for burglars to get into your home. Make sure that you use safety


hardware when the skylights are installed and maintained. Replace all locks in a new house. Even if the previous owner or tenant seems trustworthy, you have no way of knowing how many copies of the key they made and distributed. Remember that other families may have lived there before that person as well. Did you know that the wires on your home are valuable? Many people are not aware of this until they are stolen from their home. Copper wiring is very valuable and susceptible to being stripped from the outside of your home. That's why it's important to hide your wiring, or make it hard for criminals to have access to it. If you need to make the outside of your home secure, you can achieve this relatively inexpensively by installing lights with motion detectors. These lights provide extra light for your home and are very cost efficient. This is a great way to deter prowlers and potential intruders at night. Just moved in? Time for new locks! Although the person you purchased the house from might seem good, you really have no clue as to who they really are. Besides, other tenants or owners might have copies of the key if the previous owners did not change the locks. Be certain the wires to your home security system are neither visible nor accessible. An intruder can cut the wires or disconnect them and avoid the system. Never make things easy for them. Ask the person installing it to bury the wires or hide them inside the walls. You will be much more safe. After having read these tips, you should now feel much safer. As inconvenient and confusing as this appears, it's crucial for securing your home and family. You can do this by applying what you've learned here. ΚΛΕΙΔΑΡΙΕΣ ΑΣΦΑΛΕΙΑΣ ΠΕΙΡΑΙΑΣ ΑΛΛΑΓΗ
