Practical Home Security Checklist
Opportunistic thieves often target vulnerable access points. Protect your home by following these practical precautions:
Lock Doors and Windows: Ensure UPVC doors are double-locked (lift the handle and turn the key) and windows are secured, even when you are briefly out or in the garden.
Set Timers for Lighting: With darker evenings approaching, set plug-in timer switches for lamps to make your home look occupied when you are away.
Keep Valuables Hidden: Avoid leaving car keys, handbags, laptops, or cash on hall tables, window sills, or near letterboxes where they can be seen or fished out.
Secure Boundaries and Outbuildings: Lock side gates, sheds, and garages, and clear away any ladders or garden tools that could be used to force entry.
