Reduce the chances of your family becoming a victim of a home invasion with these home invasion protection tips. While most states have no specific laws to define a home invasion or differentiate it from burglary, home invasion can be described as any entrance by force or by deception of an occupied property with the intention of committing a crime.
Home Invasion Vs. Burglary
There is a difference in burglary vs. home invasion as the average burglar will target homes that look unoccupied. Whereas home invaders look for homes in which the residents appear to be in.
Home invasions target occupied homes in order to use terror or violence to force occupants to reveal the location of valuables, force the homeowner to open the home safe, or force them to give up their debit and credit card pin numbers. Many home invaders are more than just thieves. They thrive on terror and sometimes murder. Home invasions are especially dangerous because they want violent confrontation to occur, whereas ordinary burglars prefer to avoid it.
Home Invasion Protection Tips
Know Your Criminals
If criminals know that your home security is lacking with poor quality locks on your external doors, they may force their way in with a few swift kicks to your door and hold any occupants hostage until they get your valuables. Invaders often use deception to get you to open the door. Common tricks are borrowing a phone due to an automotive breakdown, an injured person, or injured animal. Offer to make the call for them, but keep the door closed and locked. If they refuse, call the police as they may go down the street to a neighbor’s home.
Be suspicious of anyone claiming to be from any utility company. Uniforms can be duplicated or stolen and signs for utility vehicles are easily copied in the digital world of today. Ask for an ID to be held to the door viewer, get his name, and call the utility company he claims to be representing. Look the number up yourself. Don’t trust any number he gives you as it can be an accomplice.
Check Your Doors & Locks
Protecting against home invasion by forced entry requires the same physical barriers of home security as protecting your home against burglary. All exterior doors and frames should be of a quality as to deter forced entry, be in good repair, connected to a home alarm system, and fitted with deadbolt locks.
Know the construction of doors before you buy them. Steel clad is not as strong as steel doors. Wooden door frames are vulnerable and steel frames are stronger. Good grade steel clads for hinge and lock areas can strengthen any door, but it is useless if it is only attached to bare wooden frames. A 4 × 4 wooden post clad in a good grade of steel sheathing that completely encloses the 4 × 4 in the lock area is stronger than a 2 ×4 constructed the same way. Solid steel frames are even stronger.
Wood, as well as locks, have little to no resistance against a 16 pound sledge hammer. Recessed locks are harder to strike with a sledge hammer. Insist upon doors with features providing home invasion safety door protection. Nothing short of Fort Knox construction can completely prevent a forced entry. The goal is to buy your family time to escape, arm yourself, or retreat to a safe room.
Train Your Family
One of the most important features in home invasion protection is establishing good security safety practiced by the whole family. Do not open your door unless you know the caller or are certain of their intention. Do not count on door chains to prevent a forced entry. They are of light weight construction and easily broken. Always have a door viewer on the door or a home security surveillance system to establish who is calling. Surveillance cameras with monitors that will allow for two cameras are available for as little as $40. Intercoms are also helpful. Criminals may purposely speak too low for you to hear, hoping you will open the door.
Use Common Sense
The man who knocks on your door may claim he has been shot and there may appear to be blood on his shirt, but is the area growing? If he has a lot of blood on him and really is injured his lips may be blue or grey (central cyanosis) or he may be wearing makeup on his lips. Ask him to hold his fingernails up to the door viewer, if they are also blue he may be telling the truth-or not. He may even collapse on your porch and you should certainly call for help for him. Unless you have medical training that can assist him, the only thing you will be able to do is to call 911. Tell the bleeding stranger (through the intercom or closed door) that you are doing so. If he gets up and runs away then you know you have foiled a home invasion that could have cost you your life.
Ultimately you must use your own judgment, but never endanger your family due to your compassion. Always keep in mind that criminals are becoming smarter in gaining access. Sharing these home invasion protection tips with all members of your family may save their lives.
Gun owners have a responsibility to ensure their guns don’t end up in the wrong hands. The factors you will want to consider when selecting gun safes are protection, safety, security, and size.
Those factors are your checklist, and you will need to determine which of these you need in a safe. If you want all the factors in a safe, you look for gunsafes that provide all of these factors. If you only want to keep your guns out of the hands of thieves, you will need a safe of heavy gauge steel to deter thieves. You can forego water and fire prevention. If the safety of children is your only concern, the more economical 12 gauge safes will suffice. When you have decided the features you require, the choices can be narrowed down to safes forsale that fill your need.
Factors to Look for in Gun Safes
The features that aid in preventing theft are heavy gauge steel, weight of the safe, the ability to attach the safe to a floor, and the locking mechanism.
Heavy Gauge Steel Safe
Heavy gauge steel is an important deterrent for thieves. No safe is completely burglar proof. The goal is to slow thieves up as most burglars want to run in, grab what they can, and be out within a short time. With steel, the smaller the gauge is, the thicker the steel will be. Inexpensive safes most commonly use 12 gauge steel which is easily entered with common tools.
Choose the best gauge your budget allows and, if it is within your budget, choose at least a 10 or 7 gauge steel. A 10 gauge steelgun safe can weigh 1,000 lbs. or more. Due to the weight of a gun safe, you may prefer to have multiple safes, rather than one large safe. Multiple anchored safes do have the advantage of reducing weight for movement, and decrease the chances of a thief getting all of your guns.
Safe Attachment
Attaching a safe to the floor is another safeguard to deter thieves. This will require holes to be drilled into the floor, and you will have to know how many holes, what size holes and the exact distance between them. Before you buy ensure the owner’s manual provides this information.
Use large washers on the inside of the safe around bolts to prevent thieves from simply ripping the bolts out of the bottom of a 12 gauge safe. Another tip is to attach a 4 × 4 post across the bottom of floor joists and attach the bolts through the 4 × 4 and secure with a nuts. Most homes sub-floors are made of ½ or ¾ inch plywood, and the anchors for a safe will easily pull out of this material. The stronger the anchor, the more time it will take them to succeed.
The Door & Lock
The door and lock are the point at which most burglars will attempt to gain access. Pins are used to lock down the door to the safe. One inch pins are standard in most safes and are generally adequate. Larger and more numerous pins are even better, but will increase the cost of the safe. Higher grade safes will also have pins at the top, bottom, and corners as well.
The type of lock is another factor to consider in securing a safe. Your standard lock will suffice for keeping children out of it. For thieves you need the best lock possible. Electronic locks are popular for convenient and fast access; they are also the root of most problems with gun safes. The most common concern is with batteries, which must be routinely replaced.
Mechanical dial locks last and last, but it can take time to open, a negative if you need fast access for home defense. Key locks are the easiest to use but are no competition for a skilled burglar. Biometric gun safes locks are the most secure, but also require battery power and routine replacement.
Fireproof
If you choose a fireproof gun safe, fire rating will be a critical factor to consider. The majority of today’s fire resistant safes meet basic fire protection standards, with the minimum being able to withstand a 1200º F temperature for up to 30 minutes. This means the temperature inside the safe shouldn’t exceed about 275 degrees during those 30 minutes. At higher cost, a premium safe might be rated at 1200° F for up to 100 minutes. In determining the fire rating of a safe you should consider the response time of your local or attending fire department.
