1. 🧠 Outsmart Entry Points Before They Become Targets

Burglars often seek weaknesses, not high walls.

• Inspect from a thief’s perspective: weak window frames, loose handles, or dodgy shed latches
• Reinforce these with hidden window security stays or high-grade mortice locks on side doors
• Engage a pro to assess weak spots and recommend stealth solutions

2. 🎭 Camouflage Your Valuables Indoors

Your best defense is obscurity.

• Avoid leaving valuables, gadgets, or keys in plain sight behind unlocked doors or windows
• Use decoy storage: hollow‑book safes, unattractive drawers, etc.
• Store jewellery or important documents in hidden or discreet safes

3. 🕯️ Don’t Forget Non‑Lock Security Boosters

Strong locks are great—but layering is smarter:

• Motion‑activated lighting near entryways
• Decoy cameras (when paired with a real system)
• Window stickers for alarm systems, even if uninstalled
  Small additions that deliver big impact.

4. 🤝 Build a Neighborhood Watch Mind‑Set

Strong communities deter crime.

• Talk with trusted neighbours about watching for unusual activities
• Treat your street like your living room—lock up, turn on lights, report suspicious vehicles
• Consider forming a community security chat or share CCTV alerts

5. 🧰 Test Your Home’s Defenses Regularly

Security is not “set and forget.”

• Do yearly checks before daylight savings changes
• Try opening your shed doors, garage doors, or pantries—to test vulnerabilities
• Call in The Lock Wizard – Locksmith Swindon for a stealth security audit
