This home security checklist helps homeowners and tenants evaluate physical security across the property. Review entry and exit doors for solid cores, deadlocks, viewers and triple locks. Check sliding doors for patio bolts and windows for keyed locks and security screens. Assess lighting at entries and high risk areas, and consider timers and sensors. Inspect yards and outbuildings for clear sightlines, trimmed vegetation, secured tools, locked gates, and protected meter boxes. Confirm property numbers, smoke alarms, and security alarm systems. Record and mark valuables, maintain an inventory, and practice safe disposal of confidential documents to reduce identity theft risk. Promote personal security by keeping security arrangements private and storing emergency contact numbers. Use this template to spot gaps and prioritize improvements to deter intruders and protect your home.
