home monitored security
Restrictions may apply. License Number: EG0000119It doesn’t take a genius to be a thief. Professionals who can pick locks and circumvent alarm systems commit a very small portion of burglaries. Most criminals enter homes by opening unlocked doors or windows; lifting sliding glass doors off their tracks; prying open weakly defended doors, windows, and garages; or using unauthorized keys. Intruders prefer visual obscurity, silence, easy entry, and quick exits. Your primary objective when planning home security, then, is to beef up your locks and latches, and maintain good security habits.
