Lucky 7s: theBulldog Bar 's 7 Helpful Ways to Protect Your Home from Burglars

At theBulldog Bar we are aware that there are many homeowners & apartment dwellers out there who are really getting worried about their homes becoming a target of burglary today.

You may also be looking for some ideas for home and apartment security.

Unfortunately, burglary is definitely on the rise-- and this trend is not a surprise as neighborhoods and surrounding communities continually grow in size.

You, of course, can keep your family & yourself safer as long as you follow some tips on how to keep your home from becoming a target of burglary like these:

1) Clean your yard.
The outside appearance of your home will certainly make a difference... so safety begins from the outside. Do not leave toys, tools or garden equipment lying around. It will always be a temptation to anyone who sees those belongings of yours. If you live in an apartment, you should not let anyone you don't know into your building or onto the premises. This is one huge way burglars are easily able to gain entry.

2) Make sure there are no dark or concealed areas around your home.
Cut or trim the shrubbery around your home, especially those which are close to a window (where thieves can have access to your residence).
Also, install enough lights outside to brighten your surroundings.

3) Close all windows whenever you leave home.
All doors and windows should always remain closed and locked regardless of how long you are planning to be away from your main headquarters.

4) Install a peephole (AND a device like theBulldog Bar ) at your front door to see who is at the door before opening it. 

Should anyone try to force their way into your humble abode, you'll be able to see the culprit... and theBulldog Bar , when in place, should deter them from doing so.

5) Never leave any notes for anyone posted on your front door.
This even applies to notices for a package delivery person.
Your presence or absence in the house will be a giveaway to those who have been scoping out your home to try and get in at some point.

6) Unplug your garage door opener if you're leaving for several days.
This will totally eliminate "accidental" openings or tampering with your garage door codes.
Additionally, have your trusted neighbor collect your mail, newspapers or any package deliveries while you're gone.

7) If you are in an apartment parking garage, never leave anything of value visible from the outside of your car.

Be sure your garage is well lit and always be aware of your surroundings, especially when it gets dark.

By following these 7 suggestions you can be well on your way to achieving ultimate protection from break-ins at your household.
