Swing in doors

Outside doors should swing in to prevent tampering with door hinges. Note that it is rather easy to knock the pin out of common door hinges.

Wireless Video Sureveillance

"Hard wired" systems are better. You might be surprised as to how easy someone can receive your wireless video signal! Discovery channel showed a special on security where 2 men were driving around in a neighborhood and watching the video feeds inside of a SUV! Scary thought! So, think about that "nanny cam" before you go wireless. Much more secure to go with one that is connected by wiring.

Outside area lighting

Light up your walkways and sides of your home with solar powered lights. DO NOT GET THE CHEAP ONES (dim light and waste of money. OK for decoration)! They make some that provide bright lighting at about $40 each but well worth it!

Knicks the old screws

Most door hinges and locks come with short 1 inch screws. Use long 3 inch screws in the hinges and lock / deadbolt plates that are mounted to the frame. Why? A lot harder to kick in.

Locks?

Don't waste alot of money on locks. If you have a cheap door, it does no good to have the best locks available. Cheap doors can be kicked in very easily. Best doors - hollow metal frame.

Think big dog!

Leaving a big dog bowl or huge dog bones at one of your doors will make a burglar think twice about entering! Signs warning about large dogs help also.

Jesus is Lord

If you want to know Jesus, just read John 3:16 from the New Testamant in the Holy Bible. If you have any questions. Please feel free to ask!

Hiding Valuables

Phony wall switches are available. If you want to put them into a safe, make sure the safe is bolted down or so heavy that it could not be moved easily. Another good hiding place, in between stacks of pots in your kitchen.
