Is it finally the time for the vacation you have been dreaming of?
Have you already packed your bags? Great! But did you make sure your home is fully secure before you leave? Moreover, did you take all actions to avoid a break-in?
Most people believe that simply locking everything is the only thing you should do. Meaning, if you make sure that all windows and doors are close before leaving it’ll be enough. However, they couldn’t be any more mistaken.
Also, did you know that most break-in incidents occur while vacationing times? That’s because most burglars know that people won’t follow any extra guidance but locking their door, which makes them an easy target.
That’s why we at Locksmith Brisbane wrote down a small list of tips you can follow to try and prevent a break-in. However, please remember that if unfortunately, you have to handle a break, you can always contact us for professional help at the best prices.
Before leaving, make sure you’ll ask help from someone you know or trust. For example, your neighbors, family members, or close friend. Furthermore, ask them to visit your property a couple of times and make it seem like it still occupied. Moreover, to maximize their help, they could follow a small list of actions – Such as, collecting the mail, empty the bins, etc.
Before leaving, check that all of the locks are fully operational and have no problem. That way in case one of them isn’t working, you could repair it before you leave. In addition, consider installing a security system. You can find many kinds of security systems at different prices. Remember, even the cheapest one is better than nothing.
You can also leave a light on that can is seen from the outside. It might seem a bit silly, but it can help show like there’s someone in the house and prevent a break-in.
If you have a yard or a small lawn, make sure it’s clear and clean before you leave. Collect all your tools, equipment or even toys and place it is a safe place. In addition, if you have a gate or a garage door, make sure you can lock it and it’s working properly.
To sum up, there’re a few actions you can take other than simply lock your property. Although following them doesn’t promise you won’t have a break-in, but it’ll prevent it as much as possible.
