FREE Burglary Prevention Tips to Keep your loved ones Safe Fairfax, Virginia Beach, Prince William, Henrico, Richmond

In Fairfax, Virginia Beach, Prince William, Henrico, Richmond keep Doors Locked, as well as Windows, Lights on at night, and know your Neighbors

In Virginia your back door is most vulnerable to burglars. Criminals look for cover getting in and out. Most often the back door is simply kicked in, because most doors are secured by the molding not the frame. Lightweight molding is often tacked on to the door frame and can be torn away with a firm kick. Because of this construction flaw, it makes sense to upgrade to a 3" or 4"-inch-screw, heavy-duty, high security strike plate; available in most hardware stores and home improvement centers. Install a heavy-duty strike plate using 3-inch wood screws to cut deep into the door frame stud, as well each door hinge. Burglaries are crimes of opportunity. After a few kicks at the door your average criminal will leave for easier pickings. Lock all windows when leaving the house. Put lights on timers if you are away after dark. Know your neighbors and inform those you have built a trusting relationship, when you're leaving on trips or when you're at work. Leaving a light on, during the day, outside above your front door says “No one is home”
