The document provides tips for securing a home, including improving locks, installing security systems, making a home look occupied while away, and obtaining home insurance. Tips include reinforcing doors and windows, notifying neighbors of alarm systems, having mail and newspapers collected, and shopping around for adequate home insurance coverage.

2.  Change the flimsy locks and have the
locksmith check them for improvements.
 Replace hollow exterior doors with solid
core doors having one or two deadbolt
locks.
 Keep all doors and windows closed and
securely fastened. Thieves are quick to
spot weak locks that may be easily forced
open.
 All windows should have window locks.
 If you want to secure sliding doors, then
place a piece of plywood or a metal rod in
the tracks and install vertical bolts.

3.  Home security systems detect when
someone enters your house uninvited,
sets off an alarm, and also notifies
authorities of an invasion.
 It is a good idea to let your neighbors
know that you are installing a burglar
alarm.
 Check with local alarm system
companies and do some research
before opting for a home security
system.

4.  If you are planning a getaway give your
home a lived-in look. Burglars might
notice dark, empty residences with piled
up newspapers on the porch and filled
mail boxes.
 Ask a friend or neighbor to pick up your
mail and newspapers each day, and
open and close curtains a few times a
day.
 You could also ask a trusted neighbor to
keep watch on your home while you are
away.

5.  Even the best security system cannot
protect your finances from the damage
cause by calamites (natural or man-made)
and burglary. This is why you
need to protect your home and its
contents with a comprehensive home
insurance policy.
 Decide on the coverage. Remember the
better the coverage, the less you would
have to pay out of your pocket.
 Review your home insurance needs and
then shop around for the best policy that
fits the bill.
