home security doors

It is entirely natural that we all want to keep our homes and businesses safe and well looked after, but there are many ways in which this can be accomplished. The cheapest and most cost effective way is exterior security lighting
It truly is a no brainer, poor lighting can make a home or business a much more attractive object than the house next door because it has less adequate exterior security lighting. Prowlers look for poorly lit points of entry into buildings that appear to contain wealth, so when you are planning the security system for your home or business you should try to think like a thief.
Look at your buildings from the outside, or look at someone else’s first and ask yourself, how you would get in there if you had to. Pretend that you forgot your keys or that there is a crucial problem in your office. How would you get in? This is where the criminal gets in and you must find out how to block his every move.
Ten years ago, I lived in a bungalow alone with my small, knee-high dog and armed robbers attacked me in my home, despite the fact that I had a decent home security system. Do not let it happen to you. My blunder was that I had inadequate exterior security lighting.
They had severed my phone line during the day and because I used a cell phone for most of my calls, I did not realize. Also my dog was sick, but I did not appreciate that she had been poisoned too. At eleven o’clock at night there was a knock on the front door and I opened it, thinking that it was a neighbour in distress.
A man charged in and over-powered me and the rest was not pleasant. However, the whole sorry issue could have been avoided, if I had thought like them..
I was in the habit of pulling the curtains when I got home, so I did not see that they had removed the lamps from my exterior security lighting as well.
My advice is to test your exterior security lighting every night when you arrive home and keep the bushes or shrubs cut low around your front and back doors. Make sure that your exterior security lighting is working every evening and make sure that you can see who is buzzing your door bell.
Supply your garden and your doors with lots of light. Let them be on motion sensors and check who is at your door from a side window that looks out onto the front door. I had a beautiful frosted glass pane in my front door, but that is no use. I could not recognize anyone through it.
Have a panic button fitted by your doors, a big one, so that if you are surprised you can swipe out and still hit it and above all make your next door neighbours aware that if your external siren sounds, that you are in trouble and that you need help straight away. If you are not in trouble, you can always say sorry later.

Home security: Whats the best type of door lock not able to be bumped or picked?
Anyone heard anything about the locks that require a fingerprint?
Just saw on the news A KEYED ENTRY is as good as leaving the door wide open. There are blanks that can be placed in a lock. Turned and will break off is such a manner, the key will open the door.
A combination lock that works as a dead bolt are new. they require batteries but are 100% better than keyed entry.
