How to:

To help you achieve home security we can audit your home to see where you lack security. The first thing we can do is draw an outline of every room in your home. Take a walk around to familiarize again your home. Look in each room and decide two escape routes you can use in the event of danger.

When you begin to investigate your home, ensure that you consider home security to the level you deserve.

• Do your doors and Windows have security locks?

• Do you have deadbolts on your door?

• Do the deadbolts include heavy-duty strike plates?

• Can you easily unlock for Windows indoors from the inside with our problem?

• You want to make sure that this is possible, since in the event a fire occurs you want to make sure you have a way out quick.

CO Alarm:

Quickly go through your living room, dining room, and family areas.
Do you have a CO alarm (Carbon monoxide alarm) installed properly in each room?

Next, review your electrical outlets to make sure that it is safe. Do have more than two electrical units plugged into your outlets? If so, you’ll need to purchase surge detectors, or proper equipment that will handle more than two electrical units. You should never plug in more than two units into one wall outlet.

In addition, if you are not using your wall outlets do have safety plugs inserted into the outlets? If not, purchase them cheap now and act. In addition, make sure that your wall outlets do not have potential risks, which can cause fire.

TIP: Purchase surge detectors to handle computer equipment, audio, and video equipment:

• Do you have small children in your home?

• If so, are they safe from dangling cords, especially near Windows?

• You will also need to keep climbing objects, such as furniture. Small children tend to climb. If your window is open, or your child is curious and unlocks the window, your child may be in danger.

• Are your electrical cords out of the way so that no one trips or fall?

• What about your area lamps: Are the lamps programmable?

• Do the lamps have timers set to turn off in on when you’re not in the area?

Kitchen:

• Moving onto the kitchen, do you have an updated smoke alarm installed properly?

• Does the alarm have a silence button?

• What about a fire extinguisher, do you have one?

• If so, have you checked the fire extinguisher to make sure it is pressured?

• Review the area where you store cleaning agents.

• Do you have locks on them to keep your children and pets out?

• Do you have “ground-fault circuit interrupters” fitted into your electrical outlets?

• Do your gas appliances, if applicable have shut off valves?

• Do you have short electric cords attached to your appliances?

• Do you have a vent and/or hood to cover your gas range?

• If not you will need one, since the stove will build up grease, which could put your home at risk.

• Is your sink areas free of electrical cords, which could lead to electrocution?

• What about your floors, Are there nails, tacks, etc, sticking up in the area?

• Do you have fitted rugs that will not cause your family member to fall, or trip?

Review your refrigerator:

• What is attached to the door of your refrigerator?

• Do you have a list of emergency numbers?

• Do you have your emergency escape plan posted?

• If not, then you are lacking home security.

In summary, you will need to check every room in your house and consider each detail of safety to have the home security you deserve.
