6 Home Security Measures To Take Before Moving into Your New Home 

Buying and moving into a new home is a very exciting milestone for any family. Home ownership is a huge and great investment opportunity, so you want to make sure that you’re doing whatever you can to protect it. 

To help you do that, here are 6 home security measures you should take before moving into your new home: 

1. Make friends with your neighbours: Getting to know your neighbours is one of the best safety measures you can take. By having more eyes watching your home, you’re more likely to ward off potential burglars. This is especially important when you go away on vacation or for an extended period of time. 

2. Secure your doors: While it may seem simple enough, it’s very important to ensure your doors are secure, your door frames strong, and all your hinges protected. If your door has a mail slot, make sure no one can reach through it to unlock the door. In addition, you may want to consider adding deadbolts or upgrading to a smart lock. 

3. Secure your windows: If you find that your window latches are weak, you may want to try to make your windows more burglar-proof by reinforcing your glass with window security film, adding window bars, or even glass break sensors. 

4. Enhance your exterior lighting: Burglars love the dark so make sure to place lights around both your front and back yards, along pathways and near your garage. This will act as a strong deterrent and will even lower your risk of injury. You should consider adding motion activated lights and putting your exterior lighting on a timer. 

5. Eliminate potential hiding spots: While trees and tall shrubs may enhance your house’s curb appeal, they are also great hiding spots for burglars. Make sure that all the bushes and plants close to your home are trimmed and don’t keep any near your windows. In addition, you should put away all your stools and ladders, lock your gates and sheds, and consider adding a security sign to your gate. 

6. Invest in home automation: If you’ve been tempted to turn your home into a smart home, security for your family is one compelling reason to do so. Home automation will not only give you remote control of your lights, locks, and security cameras, but it will also give you real-time alerts on any suspicious activity so you can act quickly and prevent any disasters.
