Make sure your door and window locks are in good condition

Always ensure that your window and door locks meet the standards set by your home insurance company. This means they’re not loose or broken.

Having a secure home at all times means you're less likely to have a break in. But if a thief does get into your home, your insurer is more likely to pay out if your door and window locks were secure in the first place. This is one to double check in the summer months when you’re more likely to leave a window open by accident.
