Security Checklist

The following checklist is designed to help you improve security in your home.

Around your house

Doors

Entrance doors should have a solid core.
Doors should fit tightly into door jambs and strike plates must be secure.
If hinge pins are outside, they should be non-removable.
When closed, sliding doors need a metal bar to fill the inside track.
Locks on the inside of the door should be at least 40 inches from glass.
Use deadbolt locks that extend at least 1 inch into the strike plate.
Locks should be replaced after you take possession of your new home.
Install a wide-angle peep hole, if possible

Windows

Double hung windows should be pinned.
Metal windows need a lock or metal bar in addition to a catch.
Basement windows should be Plexiglass or have security bars.
Windows left open for ventilation should be secured.
Curtains or blinds should fully cover windows.
Air conditioners should be secured from the inside.

Exterior

Keep shrubs cut below window level.
Your house number should be easily visible from the street.
Make sure front and back doorways are well lit or spot lit.
Keep bicycles, lawn mowers, and other gear inside and out of sight.
Join Neighbourhood Watch, and display the decals on your front and back doors.

Garage

Keep your garage door closed and locked when not in use.
Remove vehicle keys and lock vehicles in the garage.
Have a light inside the garage.

Alarms should protect the full perimeter of your residence.

While on holiday

Stop delivered items such as newspapers and milk.
Store valuables in a safety deposit box.
Use timers to automatically turn lights on and off.
Have a neighbour or friend pick up hand bills and mail.
Arrange to have the grass cut

Your personal security

If somebody asks to use your phone, have them wait outside while you make the call for them.
Do not give out personal information to telephone solicitors.
If you arrive home and suspect a break-in, leave and call the police.
Never indicate that you're not home on your telephone answering machine.
If you lose your keys, change your locks.
