4 Ways to Improve Home Access Points

Improving your home access points can make a huge difference in your life. Like many of us, getting into and out of our homes can be challenging.

If you suffer from infirmity, disabilities, or mobility problems, taking care of access points can drastically improve your safety.

Especially while climbing the stairs to your home or exiting your vehicle and walking into the house.

Adding access point features should complement your landscaping or garden design. It can even improve the overall look and safety of your home. 

Do you struggle with access to your own home?

Do stairs prevent you from making an easy exit? These tips can help you improve your situation for the better. 

Improving entry and exit from your home is easier than you would think. Most supported problems can be solved with installation teams and a little know-how.

Try the following four things to up your entryway game and come back to thank us later.

1. Use Handrails

Choosing ramp handrails to accentuate your driveway, pathways, or the stairs that lead to your home is a great way to make your home accessible.

Handrails come in all shapes and sizes, each capable of supporting you during your entry and exit. They prevent slips and falls can support you in icy weather and are ideal for helping mobility-challenged people get into and out of your house.

If you have a disabled or elderly relative, they will thank you for installing a system that makes it easier for them to reach you. 

2. Check your Doors

Your front door is the weakest point for entering and exiting your home. If you have a break-in, the chances are that they will come through either your front or back door.

You should therefore make sure that these access points are strong, stable, and monitored for security purposes.

Add extra locks to your door.

A deadbolt is always an improvement. You can even choose alarm systems that help you monitor who is coming and going.

3. Lockable Windows

You may not think of windows as access points, but that is exactly what they are. A savvy criminal will try each window on the lower floor if they cannot get into the doors.

If your current windows don’t have locks on them, find a glazier near you and have them add locks to the windows.

They ought to be able to do this without changing to new windows. 

4. Go Wireless

You probably already have wireless internet access in your home. This is another access point you should protect– especially if you live in a smart home.

Protecting your WiFi from passing thieves is a good way to keep your home safe.

Once hacked, your personal WiFi might include your credit card information or your PayPal password. In a smart home, it even means hackers could gain access to your house.
