Begin with a home "security" check. Start with the front door and work clockwise around the entire inside of your home, finishing with the back yard, fence and shrubs, gates and garage. Shrubbery should never block the view of your front door. This allows an intruder the opportunity of privacy to gain entrance. A wide-angle viewer in the door lets you know your visitor in advance. This item is recommended over a chain lock.

* Keep doors (including garage doors) and windows locked at all times. A recent study found that 12% of all burglaries occurred through an unlocked door. This simple act could substantially reduce your risk.
* Always keep your car locked even when it's in your garage.
* Do not hide spare keys outside above the door, under doormats, in flowerpots, etc, criminals know all these "secret" hiding places.
* Control spare keys. Don't give keys to people you do not know. (maids, repairmen, ect.)
* When moving into a house or apartment, have the locks changed. Previous residents may still have keys no telling who they gave keys to.
* Install a wide angle Door Viewer on entry doors that permits you to see who is at the door before opening.
* Do not open your door for just anyone. Ask to see identification from utility employees, delivery and service personnel. They should have ID's provided by their company.
* Get to know your neighbors. Get active in a neighborhood watch. If all your neighbors are keeping watch on each others homes the more likely suspicious activities will be spotted before a problem arises.
* Keep a list of emergency phone numbers near each phone to save time if you need to summon help.
* Install curtains or blinds on windows and keep them closed when you are not at home or at night. Do not leave expensive items in view of windows.
* Keep shrubbery trimmed. If you have bushes or trees blocking view of windows or doors it makes a much more desirable entry point for a would be burglar.
* Keep tools and ladders locked up. Don't give a burglar any help.
* Patio doors should be locked with a pin or bar to keep from sliding as well as from being lifted out of the track.
* Prevent windows from being opened by drilling sash overlaps and installing pins. See below.
* If you will be away from home for an extended period, follow the vacation precautions found below.
* Don't advertise the fact that you are not at home by leaving a message on your answering machine that you are on vacation, or by leaving a note on your front door for delivery or service personnel, especially do not give a specific time for your return.
* If you have a security system, USE IT. A recent study found that 41 percent of homes with security systems that were burglarized didn't have the system turned on.
* If you have a monitored security system, be sure to keep your Alarm Response Call List up to date.
* If you do not yet have an alarm system, then alarm decals, Neighborhood Watch signs and Beware of Dog signs may deter some criminals but others may test to see if it is a bluff.
