Don’t Let Summer Be Open Season for Burglars:

Secure Your Home Before You Get Away

Summer is made for road trips, beach days, and spontaneous adventures. But while you’re out making memories, burglars are watching for homes that look empty.


An overflowing mailbox, darkened windows, or overgrown shrubs can all be signals that no one’s home.


The good news? A few smart security steps can protect your property—and give you peace of mind while you’re away.


🔐 Stay in Control with Smart Locks—Wherever You Are


Modern smart locks have revolutionized home security. Here’s how they help you stay protected on the go:


  • Remote Access: Lock and unlock your door from your phone
  • Instant Alerts: Get notified if someone tries to enter
  • Code Management: Disable all guest codes while you’re away—keeping only your master code active
  • On-the-Go Control: Instantly grant or revoke access, no matter where you are


Pro Tip: Temporarily disabling guest codes while you’re gone is one of the simplest, smartest ways to prevent unauthorized access—even from someone who once had permission.


🚪 Not All Locks Are Created Equal


Think your lock is good enough? Think again.


Many budget locks sold at big-box stores are surprisingly easy to pick, bump, or break. They may look sturdy, but they offer minimal protection.

 

  • Skip the Cheap Stuff: Bargain locks often invite trouble
  • Go Pro: Invest in high-security, professionally installed hardware built to resist real threats


Not sure what you’ve got? Collier County Locksmith can assess your current locks and recommend affordable, effective upgrades.


🌿 Cut Back on Hidden Risks


Your landscaping may be lovely—but it could also be providing cover for someone with bad intentions.


  •  Trim Overgrowth: Cut back shrubs and hedges, especially near doors and windows
  • Keep Entry Points Visible: Avoid blocking views from the street
  • Light It Up: Install motion-sensor lighting near entrances and shadowed areas

A clear, well-lit exterior tells burglars: this home is cared for and protected.


🧳 Pre-Trip Home Security Checklist


Before you head off for some well-deserved fun, run through this quick security list:


  • 📬 Pause your mail or have a neighbor collect it
  • 💡 Use light timers or smart plugs to mimic activity
  • 🔐 Check your smart lock settings—only the master code should be active
  • 🚪 Secure all windows and doors with strong, reliable locks
