Home Security Tips:
Don't Open Your Door to Strangers:
Take great care…you don't ever have to open the door.
Peepholes…to see who's there
Wide-angle peepholes are a highly recommended viewing device because the person outside does not know that you see him/her.
Chain locks … a false sense of safety
They are not recommended because they are mounted with short screws and have weak chains.
Door wedges really work
A door wedge is a better alternative when you wish to open your door only a few inches to speak to a stranger. This device is useful for children and women who are alone at home. It can be found in most hardware stores.
Use smoke alarms
Test it regularly and replace batteries when needed.
