Securing our homes, even if we can only afford a deadbolt lock for the doors, is better than not doing anything at all. There are some ways you can help secure your home when your budget does not allow for a complete security system. Some of these include but are not the whole list of options are: *Security yard signs and door and window decals. Intruders will be deterred if they even think the home is equipped with a security system. *Deadbolt locks and key locks for the windows are also good to have and are very reasonably priced. *A security alarm system is possibly one of the best and is very reasonably priced. There is one for even the smallest budgets. *Motion detector lights are cheap and can be a great help when installed in dark areas of the yard, and over the doors and garage. Any where the intruder might try to sneak access to the home is a good place to install the security lights. These are just a few of the devices the homeowner might consider and can be purchased one at a time and added to the existing system or devices as the budget allows.
