How to keep your home safe from burglars - essential security strategies
Briefly

To secure a home from burglars, physical security measures are crucial. All external doors should feature robust locks and security measures such as window films to reinforce glass. Additionally, installing multi-locking systems on patio doors and ensuring all ground-floor and vulnerable windows have key-operated locks is essential. High-tech solutions like alarms equipped with sensors and motion detectors enhance security further. These measures, alongside proper insurance against theft, can greatly lower the likelihood of a burglary, safeguarding both property and peace of mind.
All external doors should have five-lever mortice deadlocks with the BS3621 kitemark or multipoint locking systems with a minimum of three points.
Use film such as Active Film Safety & Security Window Film from Amazon to reinforce glass. The door frame can also be reinforced.
Smart home security solutions include alarms with door and window sensors, motion detectors and two visible audible alarm boxes for increased deterrence.
Patio doors should preferably have multi-locking systems or mortice security bolts with removable keys top and bottom of both doors.
