Security – Protecting Your Home From Burglars

Some parts of a house, such as windows, doors and garages, may be more vulnerable than others, so it’s essential that practical and effective measures are taken to help improve the security of these areas, ensuring that they remain inaccessible.

Over recent years, some of the leading security professionals in the industry today have developed products to help homeowners increase the security of their properties, enabling them stay one step ahead of opportunistic thieves and burglars. These products include locks, doors and door furniture, window fittings and locks and garage doors, most of which have been fully approved by the Glass and Glazing Federation, the Door and Hardware Federation (DHF) and have Secured by Design status, ensuring their high quality and homeowners’ complete peace of mind.

Locks

All locks, whether they’re on a front door, patio door or window, can become weaker over time, and this can result in them becoming a target for burglars and lock snapping or bumping.

In order to reduce this threat, locks should preferably be replaced with new locks that meet the TS 007 standard, which provide first rate levels of security as required by the DHF and Secured by Design.

Of course, patio doors can also be vulnerable, but Yale have brought out the Doormaster range of uPVC multipoint door locks that are perfect for modern patio doors, and which have an anti-slam device and anti-lift probe as standard.

Doors

If it’s time to replace the front door, it’s important that the new door takes advantage of the latest advancements in door security technology. Garador, famous for garage doors that are built to the very highest standard, have used their experience and expertise to produce their FrontGuard front doors range.

As can be expected from Garador, their FrontGuard doors are built to an excellent standard, so not only are they functional and beautifully designed, they’re also market leaders when it comes to being secure, thanks to their 12 point locking system and Secured by Design status.

Garage Doors

The garage can be a vulnerable part of any property, particularly if it’s attached to the house, so it’s essential that every necessary step is taken to keep it secure. Garador’s Design Range of up and over garage doors are built with security in mind, and are designed to perfectly complement their FrontGuard range of front doors.
