Home security is something most people don’t think about until it’s too late. But a 91-year-old builder, with decades of experience, has shared some simple yet highly effective upgrades that can make your home significantly safer. These are practical, affordable, and easy to implement.

Here are some of the best security upgrades he recommends:

  1. Reinforced Doors & Smart Locks: Weak doors and outdated locks are among the first things burglars target. Reinforcing entry points and upgrading to smart locks can prevent break-ins.

  2. Motion-Activated Lighting: Dark areas around your home can invite intruders. Proper lighting outside your home, especially motion-activated lights, can deter trespassers.

  3. Security Cameras & Video Doorbells: A well-placed security camera or video doorbell provides real-time monitoring and acts as a deterrent for potential threats.

  4. Window Security Enhancements: Windows are common entry points for burglars. Adding security film, window locks, or even shatterproof glass can strengthen these weak spots.

  5. Landscaping for Security: Overgrown bushes and trees near windows provide hiding spots for burglars. Keeping your yard well-maintained can reduce these risks. Making these simple yet effective changes can significantly improve your home’s security without spending a fortune.
