Homeowners’ Insurance & Burglary Prevention
Adding additional security features to your home helps to prevent burglary and reduces the likelihood that you’ll make a claim on your homeowners’ insurance. Most insurers recognize this fact and provide discounted premiums for properties with good security.
Discounts are great of course, and if you have insurance in place you’ll be able to lodge a claim for any stolen or damaged items - but reimbursement doesn’t replace items of sentimental value, or restore your peace of mind after the privacy of your home has been violated.
With that in mind, here are a variety of security and safety tips:
 Solid doors with deadbolts and a latch are less vulnerable than decorative glass doors.
 Sliding door security can be boosted slightly by placing a blocking device in a position that prevents the door sliding back.
 Consider installing a peephole in doors for personal safety.
 Alarms are a good deterrent, particularly if there are signs warning potential offenders of the presence of alarms or other surveillance devices.
 A “beware of dog” sign is another excellent deterrent – even if you don’t have a dog.
 We all value our privacy but growing plants that block views to your doors and windows also provides cover for burglars.
 Good motion sensor lighting near doors can frighten off night time intruders or make them visible to neighbors or people passing by.
