Hiding House Keys In Plain Sight

click for more info

I can remember when I was growing up, my parents used to leave an extra house key underneath the doormat right by our front door. Of course that was about 100 years ago or so when burglars didn’t know that trick. Now if you leave a key underneath a doormat you are almost begging them to get into your house. Those days are long gone my friend. But there is a way that you can hide a key that no one will find.

We have a good selection of outdoor keys safes. They look like objects that you will see around your front door but are meant to hide keys. One of them looks like a thermometer, one looks like a sprinkler head, but my favorite is the rock key safe. You can hide a key “in plain sight” so to speak right around your front door in an area that has other rocks or a garden.

The outdoor Rock Key Safe is available in brown and charcoal colors too.

Home Security: Cheap Security Devices-Four Effective Ones

A burglary occurs every 15 seconds in the United States. It seems that homeowners go out of their way to make burglary so easy. Most homeowners don’t even lock their doors and windows all the time. That is the main way that burglars get into a house. So it’s no wonder that home security is such a big business. Security devices that sound alarms are the most popular of all home security products. If a burglar does get into the house, a home security alarm or burglar alarm will more than likely scare them away.

There are literally thousands, if not tens of thousands of cheap security devices on the market today. Here are four of the most effective ones.

The first is a simple super doorstop wedge alarm. It can be used in the home or taken with you on the road for a hotel room. College students love it for added security in their dorm room. It is a wedge shape design that physically blocks the door entry. Underneath the wedge is an anti-slide pad that prevents slippage. It works by wedging the alarm underneath the door and as an intruder attempts to enter, an alarm sounds.

Another effective tool is the siren padlock alarm. If you have a storage shed or a toolbox on your truck that you want to keep safe, put this padlock alarm on to protect your possessions. It is made of 100% strong aluminum that will sound a loud 110 db alarm if someone even tries to pick the lock or saw it off. The alarm can be disabled if you choose.

The third cheap security device is an outdoor key hider that looks just like a water sprinkler head. It is an actual sprinkler head with a screw off top big enough to hide an extra house key. This is a much better idea than putting one under the doormat.

And the last cheap home security device is the Driveway Patrol. It uses an infrared motion detector to alert you inside your house when somebody enters your driveway or walkway. It installs in just seconds with no tools or wires. It is battery-operated and sends a signal over a 400 foot range. You can use it to detect visitors, vehicles, intruders and monitor your garage,walkway or driveway.

Those are four of the best cheap home security devices that you can use to improve your home security.

Home Security-Four Tools To Make Your Home Safer

Home security is becoming more important to homeowners as incidents of home invasion and home burglary happen more frequently. There is anecdotal evidence to show that home burglary is on the rise. Just look at your local TV station news every night. There’s almost always a story about a home burglary or home invasion.

Some police officials state that because of the poor economy, more people are turning to burglary. Burglary is a low risk high reward enterprise. But there are some things that scare burglars away. That’s why security gadgets and security devices are selling more than ever before. They are a cheap way to improve home defense.

Here are four security gadgets to improve your home defense.

A burglar who had committed over 70 burglaries successfully recently got caught and revealed some home protection tips to homeowners to prevent burglary. One of them was that if he saw a security camera on a house-even a fake one-he would definitely stay away!

1. Dummy security cameras or fake security cameras are a great way to improve your home defense for very little money. They’re very real looking with blinking red lights, cabling and housing for the camera. Not many people can tell the real thing from the fake.

2. Another tip that he said made him choose another house was a house that was lit up. Great ways to do that is to use motion activated spotlights on the outside and lights that are on timers on the inside. Light-sensitive timers will turn lights off in daylight and turn them on in darkness. They are great home defense tools for homeowners who work at night, for example.

3. TheVideo Patrol Camera is an outdoor, weather resistant spy camera that can take 26,000 still photos or 75 minutes of video. It uses an infrared sensor to record only when there is activity in front of it. It requires some light so if you have a spotlight outside that should be sufficient. It helps capture images of anyone who might be breaking into your house or vandals who would do damage to your car or property.

4. It used to be that homeowners would hide a spare key underneath a doormat. There isn’t a burglar alive who didn’t know that trick. Now there are key safes that are in outdoor thermometers or in water sprinkler heads. So get creative and hide your spare key somewhere else.

Those are four of the best tools you can use to improve your home security and home defense. There are others too such as door alarms and window alarms, but these four are some of the best to improve your home security.
