Fall is a season that’s always seemed to me to be one of preparation. Knowing the temperature will soon drop and the ground will be covered in snow reminds me of all the little household errands I need to do in order to be ready for winter. And part of that means making sure that my family and our belongings are safely stored away.
From a secure outdoor padlock on a shed full of outdoor equipment to a door security bar on a patio door that won’t be used all winter, having the right locks and security items are a must when I’m going through my fall safety checklist. And to help you ensure your family is safe this fall, Master Lock has put together a very special giveaway!

As much as I wish that winter wasn’t so close, I’d rather face it knowing that my doors and windows are sealed, my furnace is working properly and my family’s bicycles and toys are locked up safely. After all, a little preparation now leaves me more time to enjoy the fun that winter brings! No matter what your family’s fall safety chores are, Master Lock products can help ensure that everything and everyone are safe and secure all winter long!
We put all the summer furniture away in the shed and make sure the lock is working for that door and check the other garage and make sure everything is sealed and locked, and a great time to check windows and the smoke alarms!!
I need to update the kids’ safety sheets with their recent photos and my daughter’s fingerprints.
When Fall is upon us, we always check that our smoke detectors and carbon monoxide monitors are working properly, change the batteries and test them out so we know they work. :)

One of my fall safety chores is to cleaning up the yard and securing all the summer items away to avoid theft.
Cleaning out the backyard is definitely one of ours!

My fall safety chore is have window locks installed and sensor lighting outside.
One of my fall safety chores is making sure that the windows are properly sealed and all the locks are working on the windows and doors. I also test the smoke detectors.
