Add My Company
According to the Office for National Statistics, homes with younger adults (aged 16 to 24) are more likely to be targeted by burglars. That makes it essential to secure every entry point. By ensuring doors, windows and other easy access spots are well protected, you can significantly reduce the risk of a break-in.
Top 3 ways to secure entry points
-
Add extra locks to doors
If a new door isn’t in the budget, fit additional surface-bolted locks at the top and bottom of the existing door. They’re inexpensive and simple to install. Add a single deadbolt that locks from the inside only, or opt for a double-cylinder version for added security. Remember, a strong door is only as good as its frame: reinforce frames with metal plates or a security bar to resist kick-ins. -
Fit locks to windows
Extra window locks help deter opportunists whether you’re at home or away. Choose options to suit the window type:
• Pin locks to prevent lifting, especially on ground-floor units
• Keyed locks (store keys out of sight but accessible for escape)
• Hinged wedge locks for double-hung windows, allowing partial opening
• Sash locks to keep double-hung windows firmly shut or slightly vented -
Invest in a video doorbell
A smart doorbell adds visibility and control:
• Real-time alerts when someone approaches or rings
• Two-way audio to speak to visitors, couriers or deter intruders
• Live video to see who’s at the door
• Motion detection for activity near the entrance
• Recorded clips for reference or evidence
