HOME SECURITY CHECKLIST

1. DOORS & ENTRY POINTS
  • Are all external doors fitted with deadbolts or quality locks?
  • Are sliding doors secured with locks and anti-lift devices?
  • Do door frames show signs of wear or weakness?
  • Is your garage door secure, both electronically and manually?
  • Are your screen doors fitted with proper locks?
TIP
Many break-ins occur through the front or rear door. If your locks are outdated or easy to force open, it’s worth upgrading.
2. WINDOWS
  • Do all accessible windows have functioning locks?
  • Are older window locks rusty, broken or loose?
  • Are security screens installed on vulnerable windows?
  • Do upper-level windows pose a risk when left open?
TIP
Window locks are often overlooked especially on upstairs bedrooms or bathroom windows.
3. LIGHTING & VISIBILITY
  • Are entryways, driveways, and paths well-lit at night?
  • Do you have motion-activated lights in dark areas?
  • Are trees or shrubs trimmed to prevent hiding spots near doors/windows?
TIP
Good lighting is one of the simplest and most effective deterrents for burglars.
4. LOCKS & KEYS
  • Do you know how many copies of your house key exist?
  • Have the locks been rekeyed since you moved in?
  • Are any of your keys worn, bent or unreliable?
  • Are internal doors to garages, studies or storage areas locked?
TIP
Rekeying is faster and cheaper than replacing all your locks, and just as secure.
5. SAFES & VALUABLES
  • Do you have a safe for storing jewellery, cash or documents?
  • Is your safe bolted down to the floor or wall?
  • Do you regularly change the combination or access code?
TIP
We can help you install or service a safe, including fireproof and digital models.
6. ALARM SYSTEMS & KEYLESS ENTRY
  • Do you have an alarm system installed and activated?
  • Is it monitored or connected to your mobile device?
  • Are smart locks or keyless entry systems working reliably?
  • Do all household members know how to use the system?
TIP
We install and service a range of smart lock systems to suit modern homes.
7. GENERAL PROPERTY SECURITY
  • Are fences and gates in good condition and locked?
  • Are tools, ladders and valuables secured and out of sight?
  • Is your letterbox secure and tamper-proof?
  • Do you use “Beware of Dog” or security signage?
TIP
Opportunistic thefts often happen when items are left in plain sight, a little effort goes a long way.
