Holladay's mature neighborhoods balance privacy with proximity to busy 4500 South. Layered security beats any single-point fortress approach.
Start with the basics — Grade 1 deadbolts on all entries, reinforced strike plates, and rekey on move-in.
Motion-activated exterior lights at every door and on driveway approaches. LED dusk-to-dawn fixtures are inexpensive and dramatically improve deterrence.
Trim shrubs to below sill height, install front-door cameras with visible signage, and avoid privacy fencing that conceals approach routes.
Lock doors immediately when entering, even at home. Lock the garage-to-house door whenever no one is in the garage. Most break-ins exploit habit gaps, not hardware gaps.
