The holidays are a time for family, celebration, and welcoming guests into your home. With more visitors, frequent deliveries, and travel plans, holiday home safety becomes more important than ever. A few proactive steps can help protect your home, your belongings, and your peace of mind throughout the season.
At Allied Iron, we help homeowners strengthen security without sacrificing style. As a locally owned company manufacturing right here in Tempe, we understand the unique needs of Arizona homes—especially during the busy holiday season.
Why Holiday Home Safety Matters More Than Ever
During the holidays, homes are often more vulnerable due to:
Increased package deliveries left unattended
Doors opening and closing frequently for guests
Homes sitting empty during travel
Reduced awareness during busy celebrations
These factors make it essential to take extra precautions to keep your home secure.
Practical Tips for Securing Your Home During the Holidays
1. Secure Entry Points
Your front door is the first line of defense. A strong, well-fitted security or iron door provides added protection while enhancing curb appeal. Quality materials and professional installation can make a significant difference.
2. Lock Up—Even When You’re Home
With guests coming and going, it’s easy to overlook basic habits. Always lock doors and windows, especially side and back entrances, even when the house is full.
3. Manage Package Deliveries
Schedule deliveries when someone is home, request signature confirmation, or ask a neighbor to collect packages. Visible deliveries signal activity to potential thieves.
4. Use Timers and Lighting
If you’re traveling, use timers on interior lights and keep exterior lighting well-lit. A home that looks occupied is far less attractive to intruders.
5. Don’t Overshare Travel Plans
Avoid posting travel details or extended absences on social media until after you return home.
6. Upgrade Your Home’s Security Features
Holiday season is an ideal time to invest in lasting security upgrades. Custom iron doors, gates, and security screens provide year-round protection, not just seasonal peace of mind.
