SECURE YOUR HOME

• Exterior lights and motion detectors can reduce the darkness and thus deter a burglar.
• Simple security devices, such as door and window locks, grates, bars and bolts increases the amount of time it takes to break into your home.
• Invest in a burglar alarm : effective ones also ring at an outside service.
• However, don't make your home such a fortress that you are unable to escape in case of a fire or any other emergency.
• Doors must be made of metal or solid hardwood with equally strong frames.Even the most efficient lock, if placed in a weak door, will be rendered ineffective.
• Go in for deadbolts which can be locked with a key from outside and a thumb turn from inside. Go in for a reputed brand.
• Have windows secured with key locks and grills.
