If you're interested in burglary protection — and if you're a homeowner, you should be — listen up. Protecting your front door with a double or deadbolt lock is not enough to provide your home with security. Statistics have shown that burglars can also break into your home through the following avenues:
- Back Door
- First Floor Windows
- Garage
- Basement
- Second Floor Windows
- Unlocked Entrances and Storage Areas
Scared yet? Well, you should also know that
60% of all burglaries happen while the home is occupied. Being home isn't enough. Clearly, to provide maximum protection against burglary you can't just rely on half-measures. You'll need a comprehensive security package, such as the one offered by
ADT Authorized Dealers. It features the following
- A Yard Sign. This tells the burglar: move on and pick on someone else's house.
- Warning Decals. This adds yet another level of security, in case the burglar doesn't see the sign.
- A Loud Siren. If a burglar breaks in, the whole neighborhood will hear about it.
- 24 Hour Monitoring. Make sure your home is being monitored night and day. Have the authorities notified right away as soon as an alarm is triggered.
