As the holiday season approaches, many of us are preparing to relax and recharge with a bit of time away from home. While it’s exciting to plan your getaway, protecting your property while you’re away is important. Keep your home safe these holidays with the right safety measures, and you can enjoy peace of mind knowing your home is secure while you and your family are away.
Here are our top 5 tips to help you keep your home safe these holidays
- Upgrade to Security Screens to keep your home safe these holidays
The best safeguard for your home while you’re away starts with Prowler Proof security screens. Protecting your home 24 hours a day, seven days a week, these are the ultimate deterrent for opportunistic burglars. Prowler Proof premium security screens are rigorously tested to withstand and resist forced entry, making them a vital first line of defence. - Deadlock entry points
Ensure all doors and windows are dead-locked before leaving. With Prowler Proof hinged and sliding screens, come with Lockwood triple point locks, which can be easily deadlocked with a key. - Make sure your home looks lived in
Use timers for your lights to give the impression someone is home and ask someone to collect your mail while you’re away to keep your home safe these holidays. - Ask trusted neighbours, friends or family to visit
Let a trusted neighbour, friend or family member know you’ll be away, and ask them to check in on your home, watering plants, or even hire a pet-sitter to check in and feed pets if they’re being left at home. Having visitors while you’re away, will deter intruders. - Avoid Sharing Vacation Details Online
Sharing your travel plans on social media can unintentionally invite trouble. Wait until your back to post about your adventures.
Security screens provide peace of mind
Homes that appear unoccupied are most vulnerable to break-ins. Prowler Proof screens are like a 24/7 security guard for your home and by installing them, you know you have an extra layer of defence against a break-in.
