Safety First
**Home Safety Tips for Every Adult**
Don’t run with scissors. Don’t lick a frozen signpost. You’ve heard these safety rules since childhood — some you learned the hard way. But as an adult, there are more things you can do around your home to keep yourself, your family, and your belongings safe.
Whether you live in a single-family home, a townhouse, or a condo, Rümi Home Solutions expert Brendan Graham has some smart crime prevention tips for everyone. Here’s what he recommends:
**Establish a Home Safety Protocol**
A home safety plan doesn’t have to be complicated. It’s about sitting down with your family, roommates, or kids to create a strategy for emergencies. Think of it like a fire drill but tailored for your home. This is also a great time to organize emergency contacts, spare keys, and security codes. Set clear expectations for everyday practices like locking doors or sharing passcodes.
**Install a Home Security System (and Make Sure It Works for You)**
Modern home security systems offer more than just peace of mind. From smart locks to doorbell cameras, there are many options to choose from. But no matter how advanced your tech is, common sense still matters. Update your code regularly and only share it with people you trust — like house cleaners, dog walkers, or that friendly neighbor who always brings cookies. This helps ensure long-term protection, especially if the code is shared.
Pro tip: Once your system is installed, place your alarm company sign near your front door. A visible sign can act as a strong deterrent to potential intruders.
**Shine Some Light**
Lighting is one of the simplest yet most effective ways to improve home security. Motion-sensor lights can be especially useful for dark or wooded areas. They not only help you find your way at night but also increase visibility around your property. You can also install smart indoor lights. Having a light on inside your home can give the illusion that someone is home, even when you're not.
**Don’t Forget Those Windows & Doors**
Doors and windows are the main entry points to your home — make sure they’re secure. Never hide a spare key outside. Chances are, your secret spot isn’t so secret after all. Instead, ask a trusted neighbor, friend, or family member to store it in their home. If you want extra security, consider adding additional locks or security devices to vulnerable doors or windows.
Pro tip: Always lock your doors and windows, even when you’re home. And don’t forget to change the locks when moving into a new home or if your keys are lost or stolen.
**Don’t Advertise the Goods**
The saying “out of sight, out of mind†applies here. Use window coverings or privacy film to keep your valuables hidden. Avoid leaving purses, wallets, or car keys in plain view. Consider using a lockbox or safe for expensive items or family heirlooms.
**Dude, Where’s My Car?**
In Alberta, over 20,000 cars are stolen each year. To prevent break-ins, never leave valuables in your vehicle. Lock it even when parked in a garage. If you drive an older model, consider a steering wheel lock. Also, never leave your car running unattended — especially in cold weather. Keep your car locked and in sight while it warms up.
If you’ll be away for a few days, remove your garage opener, registration, and insurance from your car. This reduces the risk if it’s broken into.
**Don’t Be Too Welcoming**
Safety should always come first. If you have kids, teach them not to answer the door unless they know who it is. If you live in an apartment or condo, make sure the door locks behind you. Avoid holding the door open for strangers or delivery people unless you’re certain they have permission to enter.
**Protection While You’re Away**
If you’re going on vacation, ask a trusted neighbor or friend to check on your home. Some insurance policies require this. Also, avoid posting about your trip on social media. Burglars often use these posts as clues. Don’t forget to adjust your phone’s privacy settings either — sharing your location on apps like Facebook or Snapchat can expose your whereabouts.
**Bonus Tips for Solo Living**
- Leave a couple of pairs of shoes by your front door to signal that someone is home.
- Make checking in with friends or family part of your routine.
- If you’re traveling or notice strange activity, let someone you trust know.
- If you’re at risk of falling, consider a fall protection device. These can connect directly to emergency services and may help during break-ins too.
The bottom line: The more effort you put into protecting your home, the less likely you are to become a victim of crime. And if you ever suspect something is wrong, call 9-1-1 immediately. Your home should be your safe space — a little preparation today can bring peace of mind for years to come.
