90% of burglaries are committed by penetrating through the doors of balconies or terraces, windows and doors or doors of houses and apartments. Fortunately, they, as well as apartments, rented, can be equipped so as to avoid possible unpleasant consequences.
According to statistics, the majority of robberies are committed not day and night between 10 and 13 hours. The more we complicate access to housing for the robbers, the greater the probability of failure of the implementation of criminal intent. In other words, everything you need Get a life and turn potential robbers really hard.

Windows and doors, especially vulnerabilities
Burglaries, mostly committed by penetrating through the windows and doors are easily accessible, for example, first floor, an elevated ground floor and first floor. The family homes of the upper floors are also not safe because there is usually less people and burglars can thus “work” almost silently, coming through the doors of apartments.
Stir burglars enter through your windows and doors
Most often, criminals are trying to enter through the doors of the terrace / balcony and through the windows, simply by lifting the sash windows. If you have the usual window, it will take less than 20 seconds. If you want to avoid such an attack, you should equip your windows (-Door): for example, using the device «Integral» from the company «Quadragard», which is the number one market protection from burglaries. The system «Integral» is suitable for almost all kinds of windows and doors, as it provides protection to a vertical rod with two locking points, as well as the protection of the hinge side.
Complicate penetration through window
Casements with protection against hacking is worthwhile only if a burglar can not break the glass to get inside. If you do not have windows made of safety glass, you can also protect yourself by using the protective film laminated to conventional windows, for example, the brand «Profilon». It is important that the minimum size of these films is 360 microns (micrometers). Tip: There are also models that include built-in protection from light, UV sun or alarm wires to which we can connect the alarm system.
Declare war on hacking: strengthen locks
A good fifth of all break-ins carried out hacking locks doors. Fortunately, it is possible without problems to equip the door with a minimum thickness of 4 cm. This can be done by replacing the lock with a locking point for a system with multiple locking points. Duo-Lock offers, for example, a solid lock with 2 points with the protection of the cylinder of hardened steel. The Multilock is even a closure device having four to six of lock valves, each of which is resistant to load more than a ton.
