Lock the front door!
Burglars can take advantage of UPVC front doors which have only been secured by pulling up the handle from the inside.
By using the key to lock the door as well, especially at night, will mean the house is secure from burglars looking for an easy and quiet way into a home.
A family should also have a fire escape plan where everyone knows where the key is kept in the event of an emergency.
