How to Make Your Property Secure

The following are tips to make your property more secure:
* Display the street number at the front of the property to assist emergency services to locate your property.
* Ensure all perimeter fences are in good order and that gates are kept closed and locked.
* Trim trees and shrubs from around doors and windows so as not to provide concealment to intruders and to increase visibility to and from the street.
* Install quality security lights around the perimeter of your home.
* The power board to your home should be housed with a secured metal cabinet.
* All perimeter doors to your home should be of solid construction and fitted with quality dead lock sets.
* All perimeter windows should be secured with key-operated locks to restrict unauthorised access.
* Glass within doors and windows should be reinforced by either adhering a shatter resistant film, replacing with laminated glass or having quality metal security grilles or shutters fitted to restrict unauthorised access.
* Consider having a monitored intruder alarm system installed.
* Garages should be locked to restrict access. Roller tilt and panel lift doors can be secured with additional lock sets in the form of hasp and staple or padlocks.
* Get a pet. A dog can be a deterrent to thieves.
