With summer approaching, many Canadians will be traveling, making home security a pressing concern. Ryan Thompson, a building and renovation expert from Toronto, offers practical advice to enhance home security. He suggests installing solar-powered cameras, which are easy to set up and eliminate wiring issues, allowing homeowners to monitor their property from anywhere. Thompson emphasizes the benefits of cameras with two lenses for better coverage. Additionally, he advises replacing standard shorter nails in door strike plates with longer ones, such as three-inch screws, to strengthen door security against break-ins. This enhancement connects the strike plate to the wood backing of the door frame, making it more resistant to kicks. For homes with glass doors, Thompson recommends applying clear window films, which can prevent shattering upon impact, thereby adding an extra layer of protection. These simple upgrades can significantly improve home security during the busy travel season.
