5 Simple Ways to OUTsmart INvaders from theBulldog Bar

Home invasion can be an extremely frightening experience, and many who have become victims of these crimes find it hard to cope or feel relaxed in their homes for months or even years to come. 

It is your responsibility as a home owner to protect yourself and belongings by taking charge and minimizing the risk for home invasion.

With that in mind, here are some ways to improve the security in your own home:

1) SECURE ALL ENTRY POINTS.

These entry points include front and back doors, the garage, and windows in every room. Be sure to lock all doors and latch all windows while in your home, before you leave your home and before you go to bed.

2) MAKE SURE YOU HAVE SOLID LOCKS.

Your front door should be solid and strong with heavy duty locks, solid core doors and a good quality deadbolt. Chain latches are NOT the most reliable... because they can only provide very minimal security to your humble abode.

3) KEEP YOUR HOME WELL-LIT.

When going out of town, you should always keep a few lights turned on. Additionally, eliminate all the dark spots around your house by adding lights around your property and use motion detector devices on areas that are blocking your views.

4) BE CAUTIOUS.

Always look through your peephole or window to see who is at the other side of the door before opening it. NEVER open your door to strangers, and alert the police if you see anyone suspicious lurking in your neighborhood. Be cautious as well... because some home invaders can pretend to be a delivery guy, a repairman or even a service provider to gain entry into your dwelling. And finally, avoid letting your mail or newspapers accumulate. If you plan to be gone for more than a couple of days, have a friend or neighbor collect them.

5) INSTALL HOME SECURITY DEVICES.

It's ideal, of course, to have an alarm system installed and have it armed at all times. With or without an alarm, however, it is also smart to have other home security devices like theBulldog Bar installed. This can prevent any door from being kicked in or beaten down, giving you time to call for help. 

Reliable door security like theBulldog Bar products are very affordable, easy to install and can serve as your first line of defense in the case of a home invasion.
