Security Tips:
Statistics show that, generally, a burglar will not work any longer than 60 seconds to gain entry into a home. And about half of all unlawful entry through doorways occurs when doors are left unlocked. Don't make it easy for someone to rob your home - lock your doors and windows.
Don't hide your house keys under your doormat, in a planter, or above your door jamb.
Do not let anyone into your home that you don't know.
Don't leave empty stereo, TV or computer boxes at your curb for pickup. Burglars like cash or items easily sold for cash, and leaving these boxes outside your home is just advertising what you have. Cut the boxes down and place in trash bags for pickup.

Every exterior entry door on your home should have a deadbolt.
The door from your garage to your home should be considered an exterior entry door as well.
A single cylinder deadbolt has a key lock on the outside and a thumb turn on the inside.
A double cylinder deadbolt requires a key on both sides, so that a burglar cannot simply break the glass and turn the bolt in order to enter your home.

This door hardware is placed on any door you would not need to lock, such as a laundry room, hallway or closet. The latchbolt is operated by either knob or lever at all times, meaning the knob or lever on either side of the door may be used to turn the bolt and open the door.
Passage locks do not lock, so never use this hardware on a door that needs to be secure against unwanted entry!
