My lists: Things to buy for home safety.

So here goes SOME of my big long lists of lists.
It feels good to comfortably write out everything that needs to be done/packed/purchased etc.

To buy: Home Safety:
2 Deadbolts.
2 New door locks
4 Screechers.
3 Smoke detectors
2 Carbon monoxide detectors
3 Fire extinguishers.

My friends picked up for thier apt what I have deemed a screecher. It gets mounted on the door and the frame its 2 peices. It basically has an on/off switch. If the door gets opened and breaks the connection when switched to on. God forbit your standing near it because it has a super loud screeching alarm sound to alert you and wake you from the dead. If its switched to off the connection will not break and its not going to go off. We have decided to put these on the 2 outside doors and the 2 basement windows.

Always change your locks when your move into a new home. ALWAYS you never know who has a key to your house! Not just the old owners but thier family, quite likely your neighbours, any old contractors and maybe an old co worker or dog walker!

Were adding dead blots from the inside! Not just a dead bolt lock with a number pad!

Smoke detectors must be on every level and outside every sleeping area. We plan to put on in the hallway outside every bedrooms (upstairs and main floor. In the kitchen, somehow im not sure I dont want it going off every time there is steam or the stove opens... An additional one will go in the basement.

Carbon monoxide detectors will go outside the bedroom on the main level and in the basement as carbon monoxide settles close to the floor as its a heavy gas. NEVER CRAWL if this alarm is going off.

We plan to purchase 3 fire extinguishers for our new home. Door to the basement, main level and upstairs these all have to be mounted cannot sit on anything and have be placed by an exit!
