No-one wants to experience a break-in and it can be particularly traumatic for first-time home buyers. It is often overlooked, but one of the things that should be near the top of every new home owner’s to-do list should be reviewing the security of their property and taking measures to update it to provide the best possible security to prevent break-ins. It’s well worth focusing on security upgrades during your first few months in your new home.
Home security technology
Secure homes in the present era feature cutting-edge technologies like smart monitored alarms, CCTV, door entry systems, and video doorbell cameras to help deter burglars and prevent break-ins. All of these are excellent additions to your home’s security system. Consider using modern technology from quality security product manufacturers such as Pyronix to help you secure your new house as much as possible.
Physical security
Doors and windows
One area that is often overlooked is the fundamental physical security of doors, windows and locks. Modern double- and triple-glazed doors and windows offer far greater resistance to attack than their 1960’s and 1970s counterparts in terms of their build quality and the lock technology built-in. Housebreakers need access to your property and that generally is gained via doors or windows and they love nothing better than an easy target such as a house with original doors and windows from when pipe-smoking dads were driving their children around in Austin Princesses. Updating doors, windows and locks is a worthwhile investment in your home’s security in conjunction with installing a monitored alarm and CCTV.
