? Is your family prepared to deal with a burglary both during and after the fact? Of course every family would like to believe theyre prepared for such an eventuality, but the fact is few actually are. This is why it is critically important for every family to have home security systems that has been spelled out to each family member clearly, and practiced with regularity. This is what will prepare you and your family should the worst happen.

No matter where you live, no matter how upscale or downtrodden your neighborhood, you really never know if or when a burglar will decide that your house is their next target. You can help prevent a home invasion or burglary by having the best home security possible. Additionally, taking the time to learn as many rudimentary security steps as possible will help you secure the vulnerable area around your yard and home.

Would it surprise you to learn that many burglaries happens because a window was left open, or a front door left unlocked? Daring break-ins only happen in the movies. Most burglaries happen as easily as slipping in through an open window. This can be avoided by locking your windows with strong sash locks, and even using a strong rod or bar in the track of the window. Most burglars will not shatter a window to gain entry. The risk of getting caught is too high.

The same goes for the entry/exit doors. What good are they if you dont lock them? Have case-hardened steel deadbolts installed in each of these doors, and then use them. Deadbolt locks are a very effective way to keep burglars out of your house. Theyll often take a pass knowing full well that therell be an easier target just waiting for them.

Just like youre doing now, its a great idea to read new stories and other informational articles regarding homesafety tips. You will quickly pick up tips about how trimming the flora around your property will help eliminate hiding places for burglars, and how planting thorny bushes under windows will make them hard to access, and what you should do with your mail, newspapers, and other deliveries when youre out of town for an extended period of time.

Youll also learn that burglars are criminals looking for an easy target. They are looking for opportunities that will have them in and out of a house in as little time as possible and with the least chance of getting caught. This means securing and reinforcing the entrances into your house.

The key to all this is ensuring that everyone in your house is on-board with the tasks and daily chores involved with home security monitoring, that they know how to arm and disarm thealarm system, and that making it hard on potential burglars by placing lots of security obstacles in their way will make your house too much work, causing them to move on to more fertile grounds elsewhere.
