Lock your doors and windows when you are at home. Criminals look for houses with the easiest entry.

Install a peephole with a 190-degree viewing angle so that you can verify who is on the other side of your door

Exterior lighting provides additional protection from intruders. Inexpensive timers or photoelectric cells will automatically turn lights on and off at dusk and dawn.
