Use deadbolt locks.
Install 1-inch throw deadbolt locks on your front and back doors. A spring-latch lock is easy prey for burglars who are experts at ‘Jimmying” a door open with a plastic card.
Install pin locks on windows.
Factory window latches are-no match for

Conceal your home alarm wiring.
Burglars often look for wiring around the
exterior of a house and can cut it to disable an alarm system. In most cases, we recommend wireless systems, but if yours is hardwired, painting the wires is one way to camouflage them.

Invest in a sturdy safe.
Safes can protect small, expensive items
against thieves. Be sure to fasten your safe to the floor or wall. Safes go up in price for options such as fire protection and digital fingerprint-reading systems. Install an asset protection sensor, so you’ll know if anyone is even trying to mess with it.
