Time and Noise, a 276-fix house-security manual
Dale Orcutt sells a $39 digital book of cheap, reversible ways to make a house slower and louder to break into.
Field notes
Time and Noise organizes household security around two constraints: increase the time required for entry or increase the noise produced. Its outline moves from reading a house and reinforcing doors to window locks, lighting, boundaries, keys, deliveries, and routines, including a section for people who rent or cannot drill. The page says each of the 276 fixes occupies one page with an image, cost, and time estimate, and bases its price ranges on an ordinary hardware shop.
