Door Locks and Keys
When you are unsure how many keys there are to your property or who possesses keys to existing locks, including previous owners, REPLACE THEM ALL. Always know how many sets are in existence and more importantly only give keys to those you trust implicitly and instruct them never to copy them without your consent.
Window Locks
Window locks should also be fitted and used to enhance home security. Intruders will always seek the easiest ways to enter a property and more often than not this is through an unsecured window. Checking of all window locks before bedtime is an advised security measure.
Doors Types
Wooden or metal doors are preferred to glass doors for the added mechanical protection they provide. Alternatively if you do have glass doors, glass break detectors or motion detectors may be installed by the doors for additional security.

Here are some basic steps which should be taken at these times to deter would be intruders
