Individual Precautions against Burglary

Protecting against burglary is every bit as important a component of responsible home ownership as is protecting against flood and fire damage. Given that your property and the safety of your family are both on the line, the stakes are high.

Providing efficient protection against burglary means that the devices and processes involved should be effective, easy to learn and use and difficult to defeat. Those devices and process must be flexible, as well, meaning that different methods of security can be employed when there are people in the house and when the house is empty.

Burglar Alarm Systems & Security Bars

Individual safety precautions that protect you against burglary

A burglar alarm system is just too affordable and effective an option to pass up. The hardware on most modern burglar alarm equipment can be purchased in wireless configurations, making installation much less complicated than it once was and the deterrent effect of having your house marked as containing a monitored alarm system is a powerful one.

High quality, professionally-installed access control devices are one of the best safety choices you can make. All deadbolts are not created alike and those that fail to provide the best security are often revealed by their discount prices. Purchase a high-quality deadbolt, key-in-knob lock and kick plate for every door on your home. A kick plate is a device that wraps around the door frame, extending slightly above and below the deadbolt and knob on both sides that makes it virtually impossible to execute a "kick-in" entry, the most commonly-used method by burglars. Even if they're determined enough to get through one of these sturdy devices, the presence of an intruder alarm system will make it nearly impossible for a thief to gain access undetected.

When you're at home, there are more security options available to you. A security bar is a simple, affordable and effective means of adding extra security to any door. Security bars are typically lightweight but strong metal devices that mount either across the door, under the knob or, in some cases, are set in a socket in the floor. Even the least expensive of these devices are frequently rated to take 1,000 pounds of pressure, meaning that kicking your door down is virtually impossible whey they're in place. Because they are easily removed, they do not impede egress from the house in case of emergency.
