There are other ways to keep burglars away from your house.

　　●Keep lights on around your house in the evenings. Light is a natural fright for burglars.

　　●Invest in a security alarm, particularly if your house is located in a remote spot. Security systems can often bring down the cost of your homeowner’s insurance premiums（费用）.

　　●Make sure that all windows and doors are locked and the security alarm turned on before you sleep at night or go out of the house. Avoid keeping house keys in obvious places, such as under the lamp or top of the doorframe.

　　●Adding an additional lock will provide extra security when you are home. The dead-lock, sometimes called an “exit-only deadbolt” is an deadbolt that doesn’t have an external（外部的）key. It’s clearly visible on the door from the outside, but can’t be broken into without destroying the door, frame, or lock itself. While the security won’t help directly when you aren’t home, the visibility may discourage an intruder from trying the door.

　　●Your door itself should be made of strong materials, such as one-inch thick solid hardwood or heavy metal.
