■■ I nstall a dead-bolt and/or a secondary locking system on exterior doors. A lock that can only be operated from the inside is an extra security measure. ■■ P atio doors with glass panels can be especially vulnerable. Consider installing double-cylinder locks that require a key to unlock both sides so a burglar can’t enter your home by breaking the glass next to the lock. Insert a board at the bottom of the door, to prevent the door from sliding. ■■ B e suspicious of anyone who asks to enter your home for any type of “maintenance” reason. There are numerous cases of impersonating electricians or gas line inspectors who turn out to be dangerous. Always demand to see an official ID. ■■ Install peepholes or wide-angle viewers in your doors. ■■ R eplace burned out light bulbs quickly. Thieves like homes with inadequate lighting. Consider incorporating lighting into your landscaping. ■■ K eep trees and shrubs around doorways, windows and porches trimmed. The bushes that provide privacy also give burglars a place to hide. Dense shrubs can even make for a makeshift ladder, helping a thief into your home through a window. ■■ G et involved in a neighborhood watch group. Local police departments can provide you with information on how to establish a watch group in your neighborhood. ■■ Consider installing an alarm system. As you head out of town for that vacation at the shore or mountains, you’ll rest easier knowing that you analyzed your home’s vulnerable spots and put an action plan into place that will keep burglaries at bay.
