HOME SECURITY

[Guest REDDOG79]

My family and I are just about to close on our first home. It is a double wide on almost 3 rural acres with no neighbors for about an 1/8 mile. I would like everyone's opinions on how to make my home more secure to theft. I am planning on putting thorny shrubs below the windows and changing dead bolts out to new ones. I read about putting longer screws in the doorframe. I will be looking at putting in motion lights.

I will also be building a gun range in my back yard so the sound of gunfire may deter thieves.

A dog may be added to the family after we are all settled in.

Thanks

I would contact a local reputable alarm company and see what they can do for you. A double wide should not take a great deal of equipment to secure. A hardwired or wireless system could be installed easily. On 3 acres I might forgo the "outside" siren and opt for a 2nd or even 3rd inside siren. Noise and the yard signs help a bunch.

Upgrade those flimsy doors on the double wide with something solid.
