Did you know that almost a third of all illegal entries in the United States are unforced? Is your home secure from those who would take advantage of even a momentary lapse in your personal diligence? 'Essential Home Security' is an illustrated, layman's guide to identify and correct the most common home security issues in single-family homes, townhouses, and apartments - the issues regularly exploited by criminals. The book includes an Essential Home Security Checklist designed to quickly point out oft-overlooked, home security weaknesses in a typical residence. The book describes how most security measures carry benefits, a cost, and drawbacks -- and how these three factors must be evaluated in creating a package of security measures that fit your specific needs and financial situation. As the title suggests, 'Essential Home Security' is not a technical manual for security professionals, nor is it a guide to high-end home security solutions. The book is intended for those who have home security concerns and seek a single, concise reference on primary, reasonably-easy-to-execute items that help deter illegal home entry. Whether you're a handyman, or helpless with a toolbox, 'Essential Home Security' is a guide that steps beyond a simple nuts-and-bolts, hardware-based approach. 'Essential Home Security' offers behavioral tips, and offers check-off lists such as "how to be a savvy alarm system shopper," and "key factors to consider before implementing or purchasing home security surveillance equipment," and much more. Security basics, door security, window security, garage security, security light planning, home safes, locks, sheds and exterior property, alarms, simple safe rooms, and many more topics are covered. Technical jargon and theory are avoided unless essential to correctly implementing specific, home security measures. The book focuses on efficient and affordable physical and behavioral steps to reduce the chances of an illegal entry into your home or apartment.

Best I've FoundThis book is a find! It's the only home security book I've read that first walked me through my house to locate areas of vulnerability and then gave me suggestions for correcting the problems. Since I found several insecure areas, it was a relief that the book gave detailed instructions and diagrams for solutions. Many were easy fixes that I was able to do myself. Beyond that,if you are considering a professional security system, I'd recommend you read this book so that you make the choice best suited to your needs.
A Valuable Resource for Home SecurityI've been associated with home security with ADT, Security Analysts, and Honeywell, and my professional curiosity lead me to buy a copy of this book. I found this book to be thorough, applying a common-sense approach to addressing what is most important in successfully protecting your family and property. Of course, it's not possible to provide a one-size fits all manual with detailed specifics covering every security need imaginable. For that, a security professional must do a personal assesment on the specific property you wish to protect. If you are looking for a sound strategy to layout the best way to begin to protect your home and your family, I highly recommend this book.
very usefulI found this book very helpful.With the help of my brother who was in town during holidays we secured all the windows and sliding doors.Actually I called my alarm company and added sensors to the two windows down stairs that they were lacking.My alarm is set every night.You can`t be too careful these days!! Thank you Mr. Home security!
