Change the flimsy locks and have the locksmith check them for improvements.

Replace hollow exterior doors with solid core doors having one or two deadbolt locks.

Keep all doors and windows closed and securely fastened. Thieves are quick to spot weak locks that may be easily forced open.

All windows should have window locks.

If you want to secure sliding doors, then place a piece of plywood or a metal rod in the tracks and install vertical bolts.

Home security systems detect when someone enters your house uninvited, sets off an alarm, and also notifies authorities of an invasion.

It is a good idea to let your neighbors know that you are installing a burglar alarm.

Check with local alarm system companies and do some research before opting for a home security system.

If you are planning a getaway give your home a lived-in look. Burglars might notice dark, empty residences with piled up newspapers on the porch and filled mail boxes.

Ask a friend or neighbor to pick up your mail and newspapers each day, and open and close curtains a few times a day.

You could also ask a trusted neighbor to keep watch on your home while you are away.

Even the best security system cannot protect your finances from the damage cause by calamites (natural or man-made) and burglary. This is why you need to protect your home and its contents with a comprehensive home insurance policy.

Decide on the coverage. Remember the better the coverage, the less you would have to pay out of your pocket.

Review your home insurance needs and then shop around for the best policy that fits the bill.
