How to Keep Your Home Secure While on Summer Vacation: Tips From Your Neighbors at Advanced Lock and Security
It’s summer time and we all know what that means–it’s time for vacation! Whether you’re leaving on a jet plane or getting your kicks on Route 66, you have to be fully prepared for your trip. While you might think trip preparation only involves packing, there’s so much more you need to do to be ready for your next big trip. Just as you prepare the family for the adventure, you need to secure your home to be okay while you’re gone!
After making the packing list for your trip, it’s time to go through the checklist of home security. First, are all your door locks, dead bolts, and electronic security features intact and secure? If your keyed locks and deadbolts have recently been damaged, tampered with, or you’ve lost keys, we recommend having your locks replaced or rekeyed before taking off on a longer trip. To take the next step for your home security, we recommend CCTV surveillance systems, which can act as a deterrent and evidence collecting. For your physical lock replacement as well as electronic lock services, seek out your neighbors at Advanced Lock and Security!
In addition to the locksmith services we offer, we encourage you to take simple steps that can add significantly to the security of your home. Recruiting a neighbor to pick up your mail and packages can be helpful–keeping up with packages is a good way to avoid alerting thieves of your absence. Be sure to let someone you trust know that you’ll be gone and to alert you if they note anything strange about your house.
When the urge for adventure strikes, make sure your house is ready before you start the spontaneity! We’re standing by to help you secure your home so you can enjoy your trip without worry!
