When did you last walk around your own house looking for the way in? Do you know which window is the weak one, or which door hinge is exposed? Is the spare key still under the pot by the step? The Home Security Audit Checklist gives you a structured walk around so you find those things before somebody else does.
Short answer: the Home Security Audit Checklist is a free AI tool that builds a room by room and perimeter security checklist for your property, ordered by priority, with notes space for what you find as you go.
What is Home Security Audit Checklist?
The Home Security Audit Checklist is a self assessment list. Doors, windows, locks, lighting, boundaries, alarms, cameras, habits and paperwork all get their own checks. You describe the property and the list adjusts, because a ground floor flat with a shared entrance has almost nothing in common with a detached house on a lane.
Perimeter to interior
The list works inward from boundaries and lighting to internal locks and valuables.
Priority ordering
Set Order to Priority and the cheap high impact fixes rise to the top of the list.
Notes column
Record what you found against each check, then download the completed audit.
How Does Home Security Audit Checklist Work?
Describe the property in the prompt box: type, floors, entrances, whether it is shared or detached, any garden access, and what security you already have. Select an AI model, work through the options, then generate.
The checklist appears in the output card, showing you how long it is and how long it takes to read. Copy it to your phone for the walk around, keep a Word or HTML copy, or play it back while you check each door. Past audits are listed in the activity history panel below, which helps if you are auditing a house and a garage separately.
Advanced Options Guide
| Option in the panel | What this affects | A sensible default |
|---|---|---|
| Order | Chronological, Priority, By Category or By Effort | Priority, so weak points come before nice to haves |
| Grouping | How checks are blocked together | By Category, which matches how you walk the property |
| Depth | Concise through to Exhaustive | Detailed for a first full audit |
| Format | Simple, or with explanations, times or owners | With Explanations, so you know why a check matters |
The switches add time estimates, owners, priority icons and a notes column. Notes is essential here, since an audit is worthless if you do not record what you found. The Coverage slider widens the sweep, and custom instructions is where you mention things like a shared bin store, a rear alley or a period property where you cannot change the windows.
Pro tip Run the audit at night as well as during the day. Lighting gaps, visible interiors and dark approach paths only show up after dark, and they are usually cheap to fix.
Example Inputs And Outputs
Prompt: Two bedroom terraced house, front door onto pavement, rear yard with gate onto shared alley, single glazed sash windows at the front, no alarm, motion light at the back only. Two adults, both out during the day.
With Order set to Priority and the notes column on, the top of the list is the alley gate and the front door cylinder, not the alarm. Sash windows get checks for stops and secondary locking rather than replacement. Later items cover key habits, deliveries left in view and what is visible through the front window from the pavement.
Common Mistakes
- ✅ Do not start with cameras. Locks, lighting and gates matter more and cost less.
- ✅ Describe the access, not just the building. Alleys and shared entrances change everything.
- ✅ Record findings as you walk. An audit you remember is an audit you forget.
- ✅ Repeat it after any change, such as new fencing or a new tenant next door.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is this a substitute for a professional survey?
No. It is a structured self check. For insurance requirements or after a break in, a professional assessment or your local crime prevention officer will give property specific advice.
Does it recommend specific alarms or locks?
It names types and standards to look for rather than products. Lock standards vary by country, so verify the requirement your insurer specifies before buying.
Can I use it for a rented flat?
Yes. Say it is rented in the prompt and the list splits checks you can make yourself from ones your landlord has to approve.
How often should I run it?
Once a year is reasonable, plus after any change to the property or its surroundings. Keep the previous download so you can compare.
Is the Home Security Audit Checklist free?
Yes, entirely. No fee, no login and no cap on how many audits you run.
Most home security is decided by habit, not equipment. Describe your property in the box above, set Order to Priority, and walk the list with a pen. Fix the top three items this weekend and run it again after dark.
