Home Security Blog

Hello everyone, this is the second part of the onion home security technique.
Most of the time anyone can do this with very little money.

A great example of this would be placing a rose bushes in front of your windows. Then, on the windows hold them firmly in place with a window stop . Then, on the inside of the window you can have a motion detector alarm or window alarm.

If someone tries to enter your home through the window they may change their mind when they realizedthere is a very unfriendly looking plan they have to climb threw . If they still want to try and get in, it is going to be a little on the tricky side for them to get through the rose bush. If that [/spin]crazy crook |sneaky criminal[/spin] gets threw the rose bush they will be stunned to find they are not able to budge the window because of the window jam . For the average thief they would probablyhave second thoughts about trying to go in that way an may even leave that entrance or even your home. If this criminal is a savvy he might be able to get by the window stop. If that happens, that’s why you have the window alarm to give them a nice loud surprise when they get inside.

The whole goal of doing this is to make it hard for someone to break into your home because they run into one problem after another. A lot of burglars want to break in quickly and unnoticed. If someone is outside your house climbing threw a bush the chances are someone will probably notice. By having different layers it will increase the time someone spends trying to get in and will greatly increase their chances of being notices by someone.

I’ll go ahead and give you another example

The back door is another hot spot for burglars . This is normally done because[/spin] of low visibility from the road | there is usually tree cover and people on the main road cannot see the back door[/spin]. With this cover a burglar can simply break the window on the back door and let themselves in.

Most people have[/spin]the standard deadbolt | a regular dead bolt [/spin] on the back door which can simply be opened once the window is broken. To avoid this, use a double-key deadbolt. These require a key to open from the inside as well as the outside. This makes it impossible to unlock the door once the window is broken. If the bad guy gets around the lock you want them to run into the next layer. In this case you would use either a floor lock or a wireless door alarm to stop them in their tracks. From there you can use a motion detector to add another layer to the system.

Chances are most bad buys will stop right there .

As you can see it is much more effective to take the time to have different layers to your home security rather than just having one and hoping it works. The examples I have here are simple ones and there are many many more out there that you can use. If you think like a criminal then you can make your home a safe place .
