How safe is your home? Even with the help of East Coast Security Systems in Greenville, NC, Outerbanks, NC, and Elizabeth City NC, there’s still a lot that you can do to make your home even more secure. Working in security for both home and commercial property owners for over 45 years, we’ve picked up lots of tips and tricks. To help you with your security measures, here are 3 more security hacks for you to try.
1. Fortify Your Sliding Doors with Metal Bars
In terms of security, sliding doors can be a hazard. For any sliding glass doors, patio doors, or sliding windows, place a metal bar along the bottom track of the door or window. The metal bar can prevent a burglar from forcing the door or window open.
2. Install Interior Door Hinges
Did you know that intruders can remove your hinges? By removing the hinge pin, any savvy criminal can gain entry into your Greenville, NC home. For optimal security, remove the door and reset the hinges so that they are on the inside of the house. Though it may be a hassle, that simple measure can help prevent a disastrous break-in.
3. Adapt Your Windows
If you can use windows, why would you even bother with doors? Burglars often break into homes through ill-protected windows. Protect from this vulnerability with window locks and/or burglar-resistant glass. Installing many small panes of glass instead of one large pain of glass is also a great option.
