Your Trusted Source for Security Tips
At It’s A Lock, we’re dedicated to helping you safeguard your home, business, and vehicle with expert advice and actionable security tips. From installing reliable alarm systems to reinforcing doors and windows, our guidance empowers you to protect what matters most.
1. Install a reliable security system: Invest in a reputable security system that includes burglar alarms, motion sensors, and surveillance cameras. Make sure the system is professionally installed and monitored.
2. Secure all entry points: Ensure all doors and windows have sturdy locks, including deadbolts. Consider reinforcing doors with strike plates and installing window security film or bars for protection.
3. Use timers for lights and electronics: Use timers to automatically turn on lights, TVs, or radios when you're away. This gives the impression that someone is home and can deter potential burglars.
4. Keep your property well-lit: Install outdoor lighting around your property, especially near entry points. Motion sensor lights can be particularly effective as they illuminate dark areas when triggered.
5. Lock doors and windows: Always lock your doors and windows, even at home. This simple habit can significantly enhance your home's security.
6. Be cautious with spare keys: Avoid hiding them in prominent places like doormats or flower pots. Instead, give them to a trusted neighbor or invest in a keyless entry system.
7. Maintain your yard: A well-maintained yard can deter burglars by giving the impression that someone is active. Trim shrubs and trees near windows and ensure there are no hiding spots around your property.
8. Don't advertise your absence: Avoid advertising it on social media or leaving notes on your door when you're away. Instead, ask a trusted neighbor or friend to collect your mail, newspapers, or packages to maintain the appearance of an occupied home.
9. Secure your Wi-Fi network: To prevent unauthorized access, use a strong and unique password. Regularly update the firmware on your router to ensure security patches are applied.
10. Be cautious of who you let in: Be mindful of who you allow into your home. Verify the identity of service workers or delivery personnel before granting them access.
11. Install window coverings: Use blinds, curtains, or window films to prevent potential intruders from seeing inside your home and assessing its contents.
12. Lock your garage: Many people overlook the security of their garages. Keep the garage door locked and consider reinforcing it with additional security measures.
13. Be aware of social engineering: Be cautious of phone calls or emails requesting personal information or posing as trusted entities. Don't disclose sensitive information unless you are sure of the authenticity of the request.
14. Get to know your neighbors: Building good relationships with your neighbors can create a sense of community and increase overall security. Neighbors can watch out for each other and report suspicious activities.
15. Keep an inventory of valuables: Document your valuable possessions with photographs or videos and record their serial numbers. This can be helpful for insurance claims in case of theft or damage.

Will was able to program and cut my key for me at a fraction of the price at the dealership and I was out of there in 10 minutes! Dealership said a minimum of 2 hours, and that's with an appointment!! No need to go anywhere else! Highly recommend!!
