Four Ways to Increase Your Home Security

Writer's picture: ShuretechShuretech

Our homes are often our safe spaces, providing somewhere secure and comfortable to relax at the end of a long day. If you’re lucky enough to own your own property, then it’s also one of the most expensive investments you’ll ever make, so it’s natural to want to protect your home as much as possible. Although they’re rare, it’s an unfortunate fact of life that break ins and theft can happen, but luckily there’s plenty you can do to protect your property and possessions. 

If you’ve recently moved to a new home or are simply thinking it’s time your property had a security upgrade, see below for four effective ways to increase your home security. 

Driveway gates

Installing gates at your driveway or entrance provides an effective barrier to deter thieves, giving you extra security and increased aesthetic appeal too. Banish thoughts of industrial looking steel gates or bars; domestic gates come in many stylish materials and finishes, including wood, cast iron or a bespoke design of your choice. They can also be automated for extra convenience when entering or exiting your property. 

Upgrade your locks

If your front door locks are several years old or a basic ‘Yale’ type lock, then it’s time to think about an upgrade. Many people automatically change the locks when moving into a new property, so consider switching to a digital smart lock or a mortice lock for extra security. You should also check the strength of any locks on windows and arrange to have some 

fitted if there are currently none. 

Lights up

Well-lit entrances are often enough to deter opportunistic thieves, so invest in outdoor lighting to keep burglars away. Place motion-sensor lights so that they illuminate front and back yards, garages and any other outdoor structures. Clear lighting helps to secure your property and it also removes the need to fumble for your keys in the dark! 

Security systems 

If you want to take your security even further, install a state-of-the-art alarm or CCTV system to put your mind at ease. No longer the reserve of commercial properties, professional security systems are an excellent way to monitor your property when you’re away and many offer remote access from the touch of a button on your phone or tablet.
