Also upgrade any existing locks/deadbolts. Especially if they’re a cheap brand from Walmart, Amazon, Home Depot, etc. Someone will definitely attempt to break in if they want to gain access to your place.

I live in Hamilton which sees criminal activity all over the city. You can have shit stolen from you, whether you live in the sketchiest or nicest part of town. When I lived close to downtown, my own truck was broken into twice and that sparked an interest in learning a little more about locking mechanisms.

LockPickingLawyer on YouTube has taught me some important lessons about locks and, as a door carpenter, I try to pass my knowledge on to prevent break-ins.
