![]() There is nothing worse than being on vacation, only to find you are so busy worrying about the security of your home that you’re not even enjoying yourself. The best way to avoid this problem is through preparation, and following some basic home security tips. Knowing that your home is safe and your valuables are secure will give you the peace of mind you need to get back to relaxing and enjoying yourself. How Can I Secure My Home While On Vacation? A home that looks empty is a vulnerable home. Many thieves look for homes whose owners are out of town. That said, the best way to keep your home safe, aside from a security system and locked doors and windows, is to make it look like you’re there. There are a few ways to do this:
Your garage has the potential to be a weak spot in your home's security. A garage that doesn't lock properly, or has locks that can be cut off, means your home is vulnerable. This is especially the case if the garage is attached, but even if it isn't, you no doubt have valuable equipment or supplies that could be stolen. Manual garage doors have to be locked from the outside, and those locks really only deter theft -- they don't prevent it. It’s easy enough to cut off a lock. An automatic garage door is locked from the inside, making it much more difficult to break into. There is no handle or exterior lock to pick or cut off. Security is but one of the advantages of automatic garage doors. They also look great and increase home value.

A typical bio-metric door lock is installed on the entry doors and uses the fingerprints of the person to allow access into garage or residence.

Always install best and secured locks in door because weak locks are easy to break by intruders.
