Our recommendations to help your security
- Maintain a safer home environment by ensuring all your doors and windows work appropriately, and have adequate locking installed.
- All entrance doors should have a solid core.
- Install a deadlock on all external doors.
- Install a door viewer on front door.
- Have the locks installed by a qualified and licenced locksmith.
- Deadlock all doors and windows when away from the property.
- Identify your valuables by engraving your drivers’ license number.
- Photograph and record the serial numbers of all valuables.
- Invest in an external motion sensor system to trigger a main external light to light up your front door.
- Report any suspicious activity, including description of suspects and vehicle registration numbers.
- Ask friends and neighbours to keep an eye on your home when on holidays or away for any length of time.
- Locks should have their combinations changed after you move in.
- Keep ladders away from windows.
- Store garden tools in a locked shed or garage so they cant be used for tools to break in.
- If you leave a spare key outside, be creative. Burglars routinely check under flowerpots and welcome mats and on door and window ledges.
