What homeowner doesn’t strive to have a safe home? Many things contribute to your home being and feeling safe. Making your home safer takes a little thought and a little effort. With some tips, you should be able to make these changes. At Alloy Insurance Partners in Dallas, TX, we are here to help our customers, and we sincerely believe that having a good home insurance policy makes you and your assets safer. 

Install a home alarm system

These days, adding a safety net around your home with an alarm system is inexpensive and easy. Exterior cameras either on your doorbell or attached to your home can give you a 365-degree view of the exterior of your home. With your cellphone, they can connect you to local police or 911, so they are just a touch away. 

Use door and window locks

You should have a deadbolt on all your exterior doors and locks on windows and sliders. It is not enough to have locks. You need to use the locks every day. 

Install motion detector lights

Motion detector lights not only shine a light on anyone who approaches your home, but they also light the way up for you when you come home after dark. This is a safety measure that you will benefit from as well. 

Use smoke detectors

Not only should you have smoke detectors in every room or at least on every floor of your home, but you also need to make sure that the batteries get changed every six months so they will work if you happen to have a fire in your home.
