We are excited to announce that Silver Star now offers security systems for your home and business. Protecting your family, your home and your peace of mind naturally fits into Silver Star’s mission to enrich lives through technology. With Silver Star Security, your home is less likely to be broken into. However, it’s still important to do everything you can to keep your home secure. Here are some tips that will help deter potential intruders.

• Brace door frames and install multiple locks, including deadbolts, on all exterior doors.
• If there are door hinges on the outside of your house, take down the door and reset the hinges inside. Otherwise all a thief has to do to gain entry to your home is knock out the hinge pin.
• Never leave extra keys or garage door openers under doormats, in mailboxes, or on top of the doorframe. Instead, leave an extra key with a close friend, neighbor, or family member who you trust.
• Apply a safety coating to make windows shatterproof.
• Install motion-sensitive outdoor lights.
• You can make any windows or sliding glass doors extra secure by laying a piece of wood or metal along the bottom track, preventing the window or door from opening from the outside.
• Get a dog. Even a small yappy dog can deter an intruder.
• Never leave out ladders, garbage bins or tools that may aid an intruder in accessing your home.
• When you leave your home for a long period, be sure to create the illusion that someone is home. You can put your lights on timers, leave a television on, or have a friend or family member stay at your home while you are away.
• Store expensive jewelry, electronics, and important documents in a safe at home or even better, a safe deposit box at your local bank.

Thanks for that tip, Brent. That does seem like a much cheaper and easier way.
