Burglary Protection – Complete Explanation To Repel Burglars

Intrusion protection in general

There is much you can do to minimize the chances of a burglary:

• Use a crack opener to keep unwanted visitors out.
• Provide good lighting.
• Are you leaving? Then don’t report it on social media.
• Make sure your front door and any visitors are visible from the street and by nearby residents.
• Get good locks installed by our locksmiths at Locksmith 365
• An alarm system deters burglars. If your home does get broken into, the alarm system ensures that the police are with you quickly. This is more likely to catch the perpetrators.
• One method commonly used is for burglars to drill a hole close to the keyhole and then use a wire to try to turn the key. Do not leave keys on the inside of the lock of doors and windows.
• Angling is a method by which burglars try to get inside. They try to use an object (such as a coat hanger) through your mailbox to push the door handle down. Always lock the doors when you leave so angling does not work.
• Be suspicious of people you don’t know well. Don’t just let them in.

Burglary protection front door

The main way into your home is your front door. Hence, it is important to do burglary protection front door. How do you ensure that burglars don’t just enter your can open door?

Alarm Systems

An alarm system is also an example of burglar protection front door. With an alarm system, criminals will be caught faster if they try to break into your home. An alarm system also acts as a deterrent.

Once the alarm goes off, burglars will make their way out as quickly as possible.

Importantly, the alarm should go off as soon as possible in case of burglary, but not in other cases. Of course, you don’t want the alarm blaring when you go to get a glass of water at night or as soon as an insect flies in through your open window.

If there really is a burglary, the police should be alerted quickly.

How can you have an alarm system installed that meets all those requirements? Note two certificates: the certificate from the Association of European Security Companies (VEB) and the deposit certificate from the Center for Crime Prevention and Safety.

Do business only with a security company that has one of these certifications.

Security locks

Security locks are an important part of burglary protection. The locks are made of strong and durable material and are constructed to be very difficult for burglars to open. Burglars want the job done as quickly as possible.

An average burglary lasts only 30 seconds. Homes with security locks therefore prefer to be ignored by burglars.

What types of security locks are there?

Security locks come in different shapes and sizes:

• Accessory locks: These locks are added to a main lock to make a door more difficult to break open.
• Mortise locks: Mortise locks are installed in or on a door. They are comparatively small, but very effective.
• Padlocks: These locks are also called cylinder locks. Mounting locks are attached to the inside of the door mounted. The ditches were mainly placed until the 1980s and 1990s. New homes are usually equipped with different locks. This is because ordinary overlay locks are too easily opened by burglars. However, security top locks are much harder to force.
• Multi-point locks: The special feature of multi-point locks is that they close in several places at once. By turning a key or moving the door handle, you can lock a multi-point lock at several points at once.

How do you recognize a security lock?

What is the difference between an ordinary lock and a security lock? On a security lock, you will find a logo of the Foundation for Quality Facade Construction.

• 1 star: burglar-resistant
• 2 stars: heavy burglar resistance
• 3 stars: extra heavy burglar resistance
