Taking care of my family and keeping them safe is a priority for me. Although we installed San Diego adt security when we moved in to our new home, I took many other steps to make sure we don’t have to worry about a break-in. The first two things I did after we closed on our home was change the locks and install deadbolts on all the exterior doors. Even though the home was new, we had no way of knowing exactly who had keys to it. Numerous contractors had been in and out and I felt like it was not worth taking the chance. Deadbolts are much safer than spring-latch locks which can be popped open with a credit card. Once I had those chores completed, I installed motion detecting lights on all four corners of the house. Any movement will cause them to come on, hopefully scaring any would-be intruders back in to the shadows. We also made a point to meet all of our neighbors and took the time to get to know them and their schedules and vehicles hoping they would do the same for us as well. I know they will let me know if they see anything suspicious and would gladly return the favor!
