June marks the start of National Safety Month – an important time to focus on safety and security in your home and family life. Here at JW Home Improvement, we understand the importance of staying safe and secure both inside and outside of your home, which is why we are dedicated to helping you make this month as safe as possible. In this blog, we’ll discuss some different ways to keep your family and home safe during National Safety Month.
Invest in a Security System
One of the first steps you can take to make sure your home is secure is to invest in a quality security system. A security system with motion sensors, cameras, or other available features will help alert you if someone attempts to break into your home. Additionally, having a security system can deter potential intruders and make your home less of a target.
Install Motion Lights
Motion lights are a great way to make sure your home is illuminated when it needs to be. Motion lights will automatically turn on if they detect movement in the area, ensuring that you have light when you need it most. Installing motion light fixtures around your property can provide an additional layer of security while also allowing you to see what’s going on outside without having to manually turn on any lights.
Place Security Lights
Security lights are a great way to keep your home secure during National Safety Month. Security lights will turn on when they detect motion, and can be programmed to change colors or flash in order to alert you if someone is trying to gain access to your property. Additionally, security lights can act as a deterrent for potential intruders, making them less likely to target your property.
Change Your Locks
If you’ve recently moved into a new home or experienced a break-in, one of the best ways to ensure the safety of your family and property is to change the locks. Even if you trust all of your current tenants or neighbors with access keys, there may still be potential for someone unauthorized gaining entry.
Secure Your Windows and Doors
Another way to keep your home safe is by making sure all windows and doors can properly shut and lock. Make sure that all windows have quality locks installed, or that you use locking bars for extra security. You should also check the door locks to make sure they are functioning correctly and consider upgrading them if necessary. If you have sliding glass doors, be sure to install a rod or other device that prevents someone from pushing it open from the outside.
Senior Safety Modifications
If you have an elderly or disabled family member living in your home, it is important to make sure that their environment is safe. This may include installing grab bars in the bathroom, making sure pathways are clear of trip hazards, and making other necessary repairs. Our latest blog, “Embracing Your Senior Years: Tips for Safely Aging in Place,” has some advice to help make sure your home is safe for everyone in your family.
