If you are a new home owner, then you will have new responsibilities on you when it comes to taking care of your home. Along with other important home owner issues, such as making sure your plumbing and electrical is working correctly and your roof has no leaks, you also want to put a lot of thought and action into making sure your home is secure from thieves and other types of criminals who may find their way into your neighborhood. The information here can be used as a guide to help you secure your home.

Secure the entire exterior of your home

The first thing you want to do is make sure all entrances to your home are as secure as possible so the wrong person won't be able to get in easily.

It is a good idea to have a professional locksmith come out early on to have a look at the locks on all exterior doors and windows. They will be able to spot any faulty or weak locks and replace them with ones that you can count on more. Any doors lacking deadbolts should have them put on Deadbolts are much harder for a criminal to break into than regular locks on the doorknobs.

Consider adding security screens to the main doors as a way to protect your home when you want the door open for fresh air. Security screens are made of a strong screen material that can't be easily sliced open and they have deadbolts on them for more protection.

You may also want to have window guards put on your windows. These can make your windows inaccessible from the outside, while adding a decorative touch to the home's exterior.

Monitor what's going on around your home

Another way to protect your home from things like burglary and vandalism is to monitor what's going on around it, both while you are home and away.

One way to monitor what's taking place around your house is to exchange numbers with your closest neighbors and let them know when you will be away for an extended period of time, so they can help keep an eye on the place and call you if they notice anything strange going on.

You should also have a security system put in. This will protect your home at all times and alert you and the authorities to an attempted break-in. If it has cameras, then it will also capture everything on the cameras and record it for later use.

This guide will help you to get your first home set up in a way that helps you to feel safer in it, as well as more secure about leaving it for out of town trips.
