Here’s a guide to adding to your home security through exterior security hardware and protocols, as written by the expert Myrtle Beach residential locksmith service and Myrtle Beach lock installation team here at Myrtle Beach Locksmith.
Hiding Expensive Items
It’s important to prevent making your home tempting to criminals. Eep expensive items like cars, barbecues, bikes, lawnmowers, and outdoor appliances inside garages or sheds. Burglars might be tempted to steal items left in backyards – even during the day. Their outdoor presence can even make criminals think more valuable items are held inside the house as well.
Put Away Tools and Ladders
Make sure to put away ladders and tools – never leave them outside unattended, especially at night. A criminal can use a ladder to climb your home – without having to worry about carrying it to your home, as it’s already there! Tools like hammers and screwdrivers can easily be used to snap any lock that doesn’t have an anti snap cylinder in place.
Security Hardware
We recommend installing motion detector lights that can instantly illuminate any nocturnal movement outside your home, making criminals visible and potentially frightening them away as an active security dterant. We also recommend installing HD CCTV smart surveillance systems to better catch criminals as well as allow you to monitor your property remotely. Make sure to install a high quality alarm system at your property that instantly notifies you and the authorities whenever any suspicious actions are detected at your property.
