SECURITY TIPS: How To Protect Your Greenwich Home From Thieves
Greenwich is a beautiful place to live and we don’t want it spoilt by the small group of individuals who choose a life of crime. We make it our duty to protect our customers from those people who are hell-bent on breaking in and stealing from their homes.
Whilst no home can ever be 100% secure, there are a number of precautions you can take to defend your home and make it a more difficult target for those pesky thieves.
Here are a few tips on how to keep your Greenwich home, safe and secure.
Locksmith Security Tip 1: Install a double lock on your outer doors if they are fairly old. Thieves can easily barge open a door with weak hinges. Home owners generally focus on the front door but not the rear door.
Locksmith Security Tip 2: If you can’t be at home then make it look like somebody is by using a plug timer for a lamp and maybe also on a radio, as the voices will deter thieves.
Locksmith Security Tip 3: Don’t store expensive items in your shed and garages. These types of buildings are easy to access and won’t usually be alarmed. Expensive bikes should be chained together or to the floor or wall.
Locksmith Security Tip 4: Don’t leave tools lying around. Thieves are normally opportunists. Don’t give them the help to break into your home by leave screwdrivers, chisels, crowbars or any other tools that can be used to prise open doors.
Locksmith Security Tip 5: Don’t advertise your holidays on social media because, if you’re away, then thieves will capitalise on it. It could be someone you know!
