Maintain a schedule for turning on and turning off the front yard lighting so that they can\u2019t tell if you are in or not.<\/p><p><strong>Secure your Doors with the Right Equipment<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 If a thief is not discouraged by your alarm system and gets past the lighting, the final layer of\u00a0<strong>home protection<\/strong>\u00a0should be the doors and windows of your residence.<\/p><p>Use burglar proof glass for windows, use a heavy duty strike plate and use high quality locks.<\/p><p>Use\u00a0<strong>door reinforcement<\/strong>\u00a0solutions such as\u00a0<strong>door security bars<\/strong>, door shields and hinge shields to stop the door from buckling when kicked.<\/p><h3>Home Security Starts Here<\/h3><p><strong>Why Secure Your Doors?<\/strong><\/p><p>An intruder can be in your home in 10 seconds. 85% of all break-ins are through a door.<\/p><p>Only\u00a0<a href=\"\/recommends\/EZArmor\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Armor Concepts<\/a>\u00a0reinforces all of the weak points of your door \u2014 the jamb, the lock area and the hinges.
