1. What do you need a safety test for?

Checklist

  1. Do the external doors have proper locks, and are they always locked? Recommendation
    Many home insurance policies require locking. Check the security instructions in the insurance terms.
  2. Can the windows, balcony doors and cellar doors be locked? Recommendation
    A burglar often uses a ground-floor window or a balcony door.
  3. Is there motion-activated lighting in the yard? Recommendation
    Lighting reduces break-ins that take place under cover of night.
  4. Does the home look lived-in when you are away (post, lights, snow clearing)? Recommendation
    Accumulated mail and untouched snow reveal absence.
  5. Are photos and serial numbers of valuables stored, and does home insurance cover them? Recommendation
    A list speeds up compensation and helps the police.
  6. Is there a burglar alarm or camera at home whose alerts reach someone? Recommendation
    An alarm helps only if someone responds to it.
