The holiday season is filled with gifts and valuables that attract burglars, and the primary focus is safety for your loved ones and property. Most property and homeowners are usually concerned about unauthorized entry into their premises, especially when it comes to burglary. If you are wondering how to secure your home during the holiday season, Diego’s Locksmith is your go-to service provider. We have a team of experienced and well-trained locksmiths who guarantee nothing short of excellence when it comes to your safety. With all the valuables and décor, here are tips on how you can protect your loved ones and property this holiday season.
Don’t Display Your Gift Near the Window
A common mistake that most people make is putting their gifts near the window or a visible place from the street. Displaying your gifts in such a manner puts you at risk since you don’t know who could be peeking. To avoid attracting the wrong people, it’s advisable to refrain from displaying gifts and other valuables in the open or near windows. The experts from Diego’s Locksmith can help you install better locks on your windows and doors to deter unwanted entry into your home.
Use Smart Lighting
Aside from having a skilled locksmith maintain all your locks, you should install smart lighting. There’s a popular belief that a thief will be afraid to approach a home that has its light on, and that’s why most opt to leave their lights switched on. However, burglars can stake out your home, and if they notice your lights are lit day and night, you’ll be in for a surprise when you get back from your vacation.
A smart light can mimic the actions of someone who is at home, deterring burglars. Smart lighting allows you to switch the lights on and off remotely, which can create the illusion that there’s someone in the house. You can also adjust the brightness or set it to switch on and off at specific times of the day.
If burglars manage to enter your home in your absence, you can secure your valuables by storing them in a safe. If you don’t have one, the professionals from Diego’s Locksmith can help you install a suitable safe. Although a safe can’t fit a lot of items, you’ll be glad that your valuables and sentimental items are safe and secure.
Inform Your Neighbors You’re Going Away
If you are close with your neighbors, you can inform them of your departure so that they can keep an eye out for your home. If something is detected, your neighbors can inform you and the local authority, preventing potential damage. This is an excellent solution to dealing with suspicious behavior and activity around your property during our absence.
These are some of the tips you should consider when protecting your home during the holidays. Diego’s Locksmith can help you ensure that all your locks are in tiptop condition and suggest upgrades that can enhance the safety of your home during the holiday season.
