Here are three major things you can do that can make all the difference to your home's security:

- Replacing weak locks with strong ones
- Installing deadbolts where there should be ones
- Install better or secondary locks on windows
- Install better or secondary locks on sliding glass doors
- Inspect your door frames for strength
- Maintain your safe
- Make you spare keys
A business like Hicks Safes & Locks Inc can give you more information.
Work closely with a landscaper
Believe it or not your landscaping can do a lot to protect your home from a potential break-in. You should have a landscaper come out and help you make some important changes around your yard that make it harder for you to be stalked, stolen from and possibly even assaulted. Here are some things a landscaper can do for you:
- Plant thick thorny shrubbery under the windows to prevent someone entering through them
- Remove bushes near the doors that can offer thieves a perfect hiding place
- Plant tall hedges strategically to block people from being able to look in your home
- Have trees cut back that give climbing access to second story windows you leave open
Work closely with a security system company
You also want to have a security system company come out and install a security system for the utmost in home security. Here are some of the benefits of having a security system put in:
- The alarm will alert authorities to a problem
- The alarm will make a loud siren sound to alert you to a break in
- The cameras will allow you to view what's going on throughout the house
- A remote access system allows you to control things from other locations
- A security system will send you an alert if there is a problem while you are away
Making the above changes to your house will make a whole lot of difference to how safe you can feel when you are in your home and even when you leave it.
