Meta Title: Domestic Violence Prevention Through Home Security | Minnesota Locksmith
Meta Description: Learn how to protect survivors of domestic violence in Minnesota with practical home security tips. Lock Champions Locksmith offers 24/7 affordable support.
Domestic violence continues to be a serious issue in Minnesota and across the U.S., affecting people of all genders, but especially women and children. According to the Minnesota Coalition for Battered Women, at least 40 people in Minnesota were killed by domestic violence in 2023—the highest number in more than 30 years. Survivors often face ongoing threats even after leaving abusive situations, which makes home security a crucial aspect of recovery and protection.
At Lock Champions Locksmith, we believe every person has the right to feel safe at home. That’s why we offer affordable, 24/7 emergency locksmith services designed to secure homes and prevent further abuse.
Understanding Domestic Violence in Minnesota
- 1 in 3 women and 1 in 4 men have experienced some form of physical violence by an intimate partner.
- Most domestic homicides in Minnesota involve current or former intimate partners.
- Many survivors are repeatedly stalked, harassed, or threatened after leaving.
Safety planning and securing the home environment are key steps in helping survivors reclaim control and peace.
Home Security Tips for Domestic Violence Survivors
- Change the Locks Immediately
If you’ve recently left an abusive partner or had them removed from the home, changing your locks is the first step to ensuring they can’t return. - Install Deadbolts and Reinforced Door Hardware
Basic door locks are often not enough. High-security deadbolts and strike plates can prevent forced entry. - Use Smart Locks and Keyless Entry
These let you control who enters your home—no more lost keys or rekeying when you’re unsure who has a copy. - Add Security Cameras and Motion Lights
Outdoor cameras and lighting act as deterrents and provide visual evidence in case of incidents. - Install a Peephole or Video Doorbell
Know who’s outside before opening the door. This adds peace of mind and a layer of safety. - Reinforce Windows and Sliding Doors
Use locks, bars, and sensors to secure these common entry points. - Keep an Emergency Exit Plan
Know multiple ways to exit the home and have a go-bag ready with essentials.
