If so, there’s no need to worry! RBM Lock & Key is bringing you a crash course called “How to Secure Your Home 101” and might almost feel like you’re back at school for a bit. So just sit back, relax, and learn!

1. Keep Your Doors and Windows Locked

This seems like common sense but a lot of people leave their doors and windows unlocked at night or when they leave the house. By locking your doors and windows—yes, that means not leaving windows cracked open at night—you take away the easiest point of entry for a burglar.

2. Upkeep Around Your House Matters

You might not think it matters if you upkeep your landscaping, mow your lawn, or take out the trash every week, but it does. Those are signs burglars look for to determine if people are home or away on vacation. So, do yourself a favor and be sure to always take your garbage cans out, and hire a landscaper if it’s too tiresome to keep up with the outdoor work.

3. Utilize High-Security Locks

Another way to keep your home safe is by utilizing high-security locks. These type of locks cannot be picked and would need to be drilled to gain access, which is loud and likely not a burglar’s first choice.

4. Install a CCTV System or Camera Doorbell

Another great tip is to install some security cameras or even get a camera doorbell that is becoming all the rage. This allows you to keep an eye on what’s going on around your home and even inside of it.

5. Invest in a Safe for Valuables

Last, but not least, it’s important to have a safe to keep your valuables in. If you need to purchase a safe or need help installing it, RBM lock & Key can help!
