Place Door Sensors in Your Home

When you’re setting up your new home security system, you need to think like a burglar to make sure that your home is best protected. It’s essential to know what openings a burglar may seek out and exploit. When you know what a burglar may see as a weakness, you can make sure to protect those areas. If a burglar does try to get in now, a door sensor will sound the alarm!

The front door is most typically kicked in by a burglar. With this in mind, it’s important to fortify your door with a deadbolt lock. It’s best to use at least a one inch throw bolt. Also, make sure that you use a heavy duty strike plate, the part of the lock on your door’s frame. A weak strike plate can increase your door’s vulnerability, but the good news is that its easy to replace! Make sure to always change the locks when you move into a new home and remember to always add a door alarm.

When you’re setting up your security sensors for your home alarm, think like a burglar. What would he or she think is the easiest place to get in, the weakest spot?
