What Can I Do to Improve Security?
- Lock it! It may sound obvious, but locking your windows and doors every time you leave the house, even if you're just over the road, is the first point of action.
- Are you cylinders safe? Make sure your doors use 'Anti-Snap' or 'Anti-Bump' cylinders. This means any unwanted guests can't gain access by snapping the locking barrel.
- Visibility, or lack thereof, can deter or encourage burglars. Make sure your valuables are hidden out of sight and make sure your back/side door is fitted with strong, secure locking mechanisms. Just because it's out of sight, doesn't mean it's safe - it usually means the opposite!
- Hide your keys! Don't leave keys near the letterbox or immediate surrounding area of doors/windows. Burglars could use a hook or rod to get through an opening and retrieve keys.
- Fit a Door Chain to front and back doors to allow you a small opening to maintain security when first greeting guests.
- Fit a Spy Hole to your door to give you a safe viewing point to see who's knocking.
- Keep lights on when you're away - to save energy, we suggest using a timer plug which you can pick up from most supermarkets. Any lighting or sound, for example a radio playing, can act as a deterrent to intruders.
- Make it harder for anyone to access your home by leaving ladders, scaffolding, ropes and tools locked away. Don't give them the tools they need to enter your home, make it as hard as possible - if it's not easy, they'll likely move on.
