When it comes to protecting your home, a locked door is your first line of defense. (Having the right homeowners insurance can give you peace of mind, too.)
But studies show that a few good kicks or a couple of minutes with a power drill are often enough to break through most door locks. And more than half of burglaries in 2017 involved forcible entry.
So, while a dead bolt serves as a better deterrent than an unlocked door, a little education about locks can help you find better ways to keep your home safe.
To help you decide which upgrades might be worth the investment, we created a quick homeowner’s guide to door locks.
Whether you decide to add a new dead bolt or a smart lock to your front door, you’re taking steps to protect your home and what matters most to you. At Erie Insurance, we’ve studied the ways that a thief could enter your home to help you prepare for the unforeseen.
Like a high-grade dead bolt, homeowners insurance from ERIE is practical, reliable, and secure. And when you know your home is secure, you can spend your energy appreciating all of life’s pleasures. Talk to your local ERIE agent to learn how we can help make sure your home and its contents are covered.
