Here\u2019s a guide to some essential home security tips for solo living, as prepared by the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.soslocksmith.com\/nyc-locksmith-services\/\">residential security<\/a> experts at<a href=\"http:\/\/www.soslocksmith.com\/\"> SOS Locksmith.<\/a><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><!--more--><\/p>\n<h2 dir=\"ltr\">Install a Home Security System and Smart Lock<\/h2>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Make sure to get a home security system and smart lock, even if you live alone. This can help notify you if your pets get out, or if the doors of your home suddenly open when you\u2019re not home. It\u2019s fantastic for letting in delivery people remotely, when you\u2019re not home, and even allow for houseguests to enter your home through pre-set programmable codes. This helps add a strong layer of protection to your home that gives you peace of mind in knowing that your home is protected even when you\u2019re not there.<\/p>\n<h2 dir=\"ltr\">Always Keep in Touch with Friends or Family<\/h2>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">If you expect to be away for an extended amount of time, let trusted friends or family members know &#8211; both so they don\u2019t worry, but also so that they can check up on your property once in a while and ensure it\u2019s secure. You can give them spare keys to do so. It couldn\u2019t hurt to make friends with your neighbors as well, helping encourage a strong sense of community supported collective security in your building or block.<\/p>\n<h2 dir=\"ltr\">Don\u2019t Advertise<\/h2>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Don\u2019t publicly post on social media information that notifies strangers that you live alone and\/or will be going away for a while. This can unwittingly serve as an advertisement for potential thieves or burglars to make your home or apartment a crime target. Ask people to housesit for you if you\u2019re going to be away for a long period of time.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div style=\"padding-bottom:20px; padding-top:10px;\" class=\"hupso-share-buttons\"><!-- Hupso Share Buttons - http:\/\/www.hupso.com\/share\/ --><a class=\"hupso_counters\" href=\"http:\/\/www.hupso.com\/share\/\"><img src=\"https:\/\/static.hupso.com\/share\/buttons\/share-small.png\" style=\"border:0px; padding-top:2px; float:left;\" alt=\"Share Button\"\/><\/a><script type=\"text\/javascript\">var hupso_services_c=new Array(\"twitter\",\"facebook_like\",\"facebook_send\",\"google\",\"pinterest\");var hupso_counters_lang = \"en_US\";var hupso_image_folder_url = \"\";var hupso_title_c=\"Solo Living Home Security\";<\/script><script type=\"text\/javascript\" src=\"https:\/\/static.hupso.com\/share\/js\/counters.js\"><\/script><!-- Hupso Share Buttons --><\/div><div id=\"social-essentials\" class=\"se_left\"><div class=\"se_button se_button_small\" style=\"width:72px;margin:0px 0px 0px 0px\"><iframe src=\"\/\/www.facebook.com\/plugins\/like.php?locale=en_US&href=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.soslocksmith.com%2Fblog%2Fsolo-living-home-security%2F&amp;send=false&amp;layout=button_count&amp;show_faces=false&amp;action=like&amp;colorscheme=light&amp;font\" scrolling=\"no\" frameborder=\"0\" allowTransparency=\"true\"><\/iframe><\/div><div class=\"se_button se_button_small\" style=\"width:85px;margin:0px 0px 0px 0px\"><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/share\" class=\"twitter-share-button\" data-url=\"https:\/\/www.soslocksmith.com\/blog\/solo-living-home-security\/\" data-text=\"Solo Living Home Security\" data-via=\"SOSLocksmithNYC\" data-counturl=\"https:\/\/www.soslocksmith.com\/blog\/solo-living-home-security\/\" data-count=\"horizontal\" data-lang=\"en\">Tweet<\/a><\/div><div class=\"se_button se_button_small\" style=\"margin:0px 0px 0px 0px\"><a name=\"fb_share\" type=\"button_count\" share_url=\"https%3A%2F%2Fwww.soslocksmith.com%2Fblog%2Fsolo-living-home-security%2F\">Share<\/a><\/div><div class=\"se_button se_button_small\" style=\"width:60px;margin:0px 0px 0px 0px\"><g:plusone size=\"medium\" href=\"https:\/\/www.soslocksmith.com\/blog\/solo-living-home-security\/\" count=\"true\"><\/g:plusone><\/div><div class=\"se_button se_button_small\" style=\"width:65px;margin:0px 0px 0px 0px\"><a href=\"http:\/\/pinterest.com\/pin\/create\/button\/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.soslocksmith.com%2Fblog%2Fsolo-living-home-security%2F&media=&description=Solo+Living+Home+Security\" class=\"se-pin-it-button\" always-show-count=\"true\" count-layout=\"horizontal\"><img border=\"0\" src=\"\/\/assets.pinterest.com\/images\/PinExt.png\" title=\"Pin It\" \/><\/a><\/div><div class=\"se_button se_button_small\" style=\"margin:0px 0px 0px 0px\"><su:badge layout=\"1\" location=\"https:\/\/www.soslocksmith.com\/blog\/solo-living-home-security\/\"><\/su:badge><\/div><\/div><div class=\"clear\"><\/div><style type=\"text\/css\">#call_to_action h4{padding:0px 5px;}<\/style>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Living on your can be incredibly peaceful, with tons of private time to be productive (or just eat ice cream in your underwear.)
