IF IT’S BROKEN, FIX IT!
You would be surprised to know how many crimes occur in homes just because the home or shed was not locked, or the locks were not maintained. It’s very easy to put off fixing a broken lock until you have more time to deal with it—after all, don’t things always break at the worst possible times? But this is a very bad idea. There’s no telling when a criminal will be making his or her rounds, and it could just as coincidentally be the day your broken or flimsy lock left your door wide open.
Leaving a lock unfixed—and this includes any lock, including door, window, sliding door, vent screen, or other access points—is equivalent to leaving the door unlocked. It could actually be worse because broken locks often prevent a door from closing properly and your door or window could easily be blown or swing open after you leave, which not only makes entry easy but advertises the fact that the entrance is not secured. Also never grant yourself a sense of false security by thinking that second- or third-story entrances don’t matter; if it’s easily accessible, a criminal will find a way to capitalize the opportunity. Naturally, the very same advice goes for malfunctioning or broken home security alarms and devices.
