Check out these unique ways that you can keep your home and family safe and secure!
When it comes to your family, you put safety first. You make sure to take every possible precaution to ensure that they’re well taken care of. While security systems are common these days, be sure to try out these less conventional home security tips to stay safe.
Get rid of your mail slot.
While it may be convenient for receiving your mail, it’s not the safest invention. Especially when installed in the middle of your door, it weakens the structure of the door which makes it much easier to kick in. Swap out your door for a sturdier model and be sure to invest a mailbox.
Sleep with your car keys near your bed.
Some people sleep with a baseball bat near their bed, you should sleep with your car keys near your bed. In the event that someone tries to break into your home in the middle of the night, sounding off your car alarm may help to scare the away.
Hide valuables in your kid’s sock drawer.
How many kids do you know with $500 dollars and a two carat diamond stashed away in their sock drawer? Unless you’re on friendly terms with the Kardashians, you probably don’t know any. Because it’s unexpected, hiding your valuables in your child’s sock drawer may help to keep your valuables safe in the event of a burglary. Often when burglarized, thieves steer clear of kid rooms.
Plant thorny plants under your windows.
Use your garden to your advantage. Plant thorny plants that pack a punch, like rosebushes, right under your ground level windows. Because it’s more dangerous (and painful), burglars will be less inclined to sneak in through your windows.
