Confessions of a Locksmith in Men’s Health Magazine

These five tips were published in the November issue of Men’s Health Magazine. Here’s a scan and and a summary in case you missed this issue!

Summary:

• Dead bolts are good for making it difficult for burglars to enter or exit the property with bigger items.
• Basic alarm systems limit the time the intruder can spend on your premises before authorities can arrive.
• You can now get alarms that are pet friendly and won’t be activated when your pets are in the house.
• Trees and shrubs can be good hiding spots for burglars.
• Don’t leave tools or ladders outside to assist burglars with their entry.
• Don’t leave packaging of new items like your big new TV in plain view, it could invite people to come and steal it.
• Leave some sneakers at the door and the radio on it make it seem like someone is home, this will make burglars less likely to enter.
