If you live in a rougher part of town where you feel like you have to worry a bit more than the average person about your home or family being victimized then you want to make sure you do everything you can think of to protect your house. The first thing you want to do is make your home unattractive to criminals, the next thing you want to do is to make sure you are prepared for criminals if they do break in and the next thing you want to do is ensure you can get help quickly. This article will help you to learn how you can do all these things.

Have your home inspected by a locksmith

You can consider a locksmith, like Georges Lock & Security Service, to be a wealth of knowledge when it comes to spotting problem areas in your home and the best part is, they can help you take care of those problems.

Have window guards put on all of the windows

You can have window guards installed on all of the windows around the house that prevent someone from being able to get in the house through the window. They won't be able to get in by opening the window, or even if they decide to break the window. The guards have bars they won't be able to fit through. They will open from the inside though, so they will allow you to get out of the house if needed.

Have security screens installed on all outside doors that lead to the home

Screen doors are made of a very thick screen and a metal frame. They also have both a regular door knob on them, as well as a strong deadbolt. The screens make it harder for someone to get in your house because they will have to get through the screen first before they can even start working on the door. They also make it very hard for someone to see in the house even when the door is open. Yet, if you can still open the front door and see right through the screen to the outside from inside the house.  

Get a full grown large breed dog known for being protective

You may want to rescue a large breed dog that's at least a year old. The breed should be one that's known for being on the protective side. Some examples of protective breeds include German Shepherds, Dobermans, Rottweilers, Great Danes and Chows. By getting an adult you can bypass the puppy stage where they won't be able to scare off criminals.
