One the most obvious as well the best home security tips is that you need to always make certain to secure your house before you leave. Doors should have a solid wood core or should be metal with hinges strategically placed on the inside. Don’t rely on a usual doorknob lock to discourage a burglar. On the other hand a thick deadbolt lock that goes out at least an inch inserted into the doorjamb, will dishearten the majority of burglars who do not wish to spend the time trying to defeat it.

Windows and sliding glass doors should also be locked. Also, you can place a blocking or anti-lift device on windows, and use a blocking device like a sturdy piece of wood or a steel bar to hold your sliding glass door shut.

Shrubbery around the windows and doors can give burglars a place to hide while they work, unless you choose prickly plants like that of rose bushes or a pyracantha, for instance. Crooks want to walk away with a handful of cash, after all, and not a handful of thorns.

A reliable home security alarm that monitors most of the outer an inner premises is also a great option to consider in securing your home.
