Our Security tips on keeping your home safe while you’re away:

Check your security:

Before you leave, make sure all locks works properly. So, in case that one of them isn’t working, you can have it repaired. In addition, consider installing a security system before you leave. It’ll keep your property safe more than any other thing you can do. Also, you can monitor your property while you’re away. Furthermore, in case of a break in, some systems can contact the police right away and help decreasing the damage to the property

Ask for help:

Before you leave, ask someone you trust to visit your property while you’re away. Making it seems like the property is occupied can play a big role in keeping it safe. Moreover, ask them to collect the mail, empty your bins, etc. The more it’ll seem like the property is occupied, the chances of having a break in decreases. Also, ask them to visit the property more than once, depending the time you’ll be away.

Clear your yard:

Make sure your yard is clean and tidy before you leave. Moreover, lock up any objects that are usually laying around (bicycle, toys, working tools, etc.). If you have a gate, Make sure it’s working properly. The more you secure your home, the bigger the odds you won’t have a burglary.

Leave a light on

Leave a light on that’s visible from the outside to make it look like there’s someone in the house. If the house remains dark through all the time you’ll be gone, it might draw the burglars in.

 

So, the bottom line is, the more security means you’ll take, it’s less possible you’ll have a break in. However, we at Locksmith Sydney takes no responsibility on any break in incidents or attempt.
