Tips to Make Your Home a Safer Place to Live


Besides monitoring your home with ADT, there are simple and easy things you can do to take extra precautions. Additionally to these tips, be sure to always activate your home security equipment, even if you will only be gone a moment. It only takes a minute for a burglar to strike, so even if you are only running to the neighbors, be sure to lock up.



General Safety Tips


 Get a Safety Deposit Box
Store cash, jewelry, and other valuables in a safe or safety deposit box. Do not leave them lying around the home.

 Close Your Drapes
Do not advertise the items in your home. Many burglars will not attempt the unknown, especially with an ADT monitored security system from Home Security in Fayetteville.

 Don’t Open Your Door to Strangers
Many burglars will try to look like a police man or a delivery person; make them read off the address on your “package” to see if they really are who they say they are. If they aren’t who they say they are, they probably won’t know your Fayetteville, NC address immediately.



Door & Window Safety Tips


 Get Solid Wood Doors
Reinforce doorframes and put multiple locks on all outside doors. Even if you have expensive dead bolts, burglars can kick in weak doors, so be sure to put in solid wood doors.

 Safety Coat Your Windows
Look into safety coating the most vulnerable windows. This will make them more difficult to break into.



Fire Safety Tips


 Don’t Leave Unattended Flames
Never leave candles or other open flames burning unattended. This is especially true if you have pets because they will be curious about the scent.

 Make a Fire Escape Plan
Make a fire escape plan for your family, and include practice drills on a yearly basis.

 Make Your Address Visible
Make sure your street address is visible so firefighters can easily find your home.

Home Safety When on Vacation

 Put Lights on a Timer
Put your TV or radio on a timer, so it automatically goes on and off at certain times during the day and night.

 Get a House Sitter
Ask a neighbor to watch your house. Better yet, hire a house sitter.

 Don’t Record an Away Message
Don't leave a recorded message on your phone that you are out of town. You should simply state in the message that you can’t get to the phone.
