Your Personal Safety – Part Three

                                                                                         

Install a home safety alarm system to secure your home against intruders and keep the door from your garage to your home locked at all times. It is just like any other entryway. Never answer your door to an unexpected visitor. Call out to them through the doorway and ask for identification to be slipped under your door.

When you get identification from all unknown callers and service people who may come to your door call the company to confirm their identity. Security doors must be installed, particularly if you live on your own. A good site that manufactures security doors is pagedoors.com who is specialist manufacturers and suppliers of steel security doors and related products.

If the stranger at your door has no identification, take down the name of the company where they are from and call them immediately to substantiate their identity. If the person won’t give you any information and still insists on your opening the door to them, call 000 without hesitation. OzFreeOnline.com has hundreds of classifieds and among these are security doors and screens, which can be fitted by experts.

Never hide a key under your doormat or in the letterbox. Criminals know all the usual hiding places. Don’t fall for the ‘my car has broken down’ trick and let a stranger in to make a phone call. Even if it’s a sweet young or old person. Offer to make the call for them, and make them wait for the outcome. Even after you have ‘confirmed’ the identity of the person, do not be tempted to allow them in to your home.

If you walk from the bus stop or tram to get home, always approach your home with the keys out and ready, so that you can get inside quickly. Lock the door immediately you are inside. HINT: Remember that keys are a great defensive weapon. If you must get out of your car to open the garage door, make sure that no one follows you into the garage.
