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!
One lucky Mommy Kat and Kids reader is going to win a prize pack containing a Master Lock Magnum M175XDLF Padlock, a Master Lock 265DCCSEN Door Security Bar, a Master Lock 107DSPT Gun Lock and a $50 Visa gift card (U.S.A) or cheque (Canada), a $110 total value, to help you check all the items off your fall safety checklist! To enter to win, just leave a blog comment about one of your own fall safety chores.
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 get our chimney checked out!
One of my fall safety chores is changing the filter on the furnace.
We check our windows and doors every night. We change our batteries but our town visits every year to make sure our smoke detectors and carbon monoxide devices are working and to make sure we have a fire extinguisher. I love that. We always keep our drive clear and salted for visitors. I just want to say thanks so much for your fantastic reviews and your giveaways. I really appreciate all the work that you do on this blog.
One of our fall safety chores is having the heating/air unit serviced to make sure it’s in good working condition before the cold weather begins.
Changing the smoke detector batteries!
We take in all lawn furniture to make sure it is locked away safe for the winter :)
We make sure our vehicles are winterized so we dont cause harm to them when the temps reach freezing.
We just make sure there is no junk left in the alley to climb on & we change the batteries in the smoke detectors.
Our fall safety chore is to get maintenance on our fireplace and make sure its safe to use for the cold weather.
