Celebrate summer safely

The weather is getting nicer and nicer and we’re all getting outdoors a little more. Whether you’re working outside by mowing the lawn or staining the deck or simply out enjoying the sunshine, make sure to keep your home’s security in mind.

The weather is getting nicer and nicer and we’re all getting outdoors a little more. Whether you’re working outside by mowing the lawn or staining the deck or simply out enjoying the sunshine, make sure to keep your home’s security in mind.

If you’re opening windows to let that warm breeze inside, make sure to close and lock them whenever you leave home. Otherwise, they could turn into a nice entry point for a burglar.

While you’re relaxing on the deck or grilling out back, take a moment to note whether your front door is locked and the garage is closed. If not, what’s to stop a thief from coming in while you’re attending other things?

When it comes to the grill, make sure it’s kept away from the house and give it a quick check before firing it up. Check for holes, leaks, cracks and grease buildup that could cause a grill fire.

We all love a great deck or patio space, but be mindful of what you keep out there when you’re not at home or asleep. It’s easy for burglars to access the deck (and your belongings) without disturbing anyone inside.

Do you have a fenced yard? While the fence provides a layer of protection, you might consider putting a contact sensor on the gate to let you know when it is opened. Finally, to keep an eye on things at all times, consider installing security cameras outside your property. That way you can keep an eye on the front of the house while you’re enjoying the backyard.
