Preventing access to your property from intruders is a key concern for any commercial property owner, particularly as it can come with high costs to repair or replace any damaged items. Through taking some simple steps you can stop intruders right where they strike at the most – at the point of entry.
It may seem obvious, but as the old saying goes, sometimes it is the most simple of solutions, which are the most effective. We think it is worth taking this approach in protecting your property against thieves, so we have taken a look at the most common and simple ways to prevent breaches at any point of access.
Show them the Front Door…
Like welcomed guests, an intruder will naturally attempt to access your property via the front door, so it is very much in your best interests to have something in place to repel them. Criminals will be on the lookout for any weaknesses in your front door and it’s security, any old locking systems or frailties in the frame make it very simple for them to gain access.
A great place to start in securing the front door is to have a new, robust security system installed. A communal door system is an excellent way to keep your property safe, as well as an attractive method of doing so. For vacant properties, having a steel security door installed will give you an impregnable barrier against intruders at your front door entrance.
Look at your Windows
Reports suggest that around 60% of criminals will attempt to gain entry to your property via forceful methods, which of course includes your windows. These can be a particular risk for properties which have large ground floor windows, however even if this doesn’t apply to you it still will not put off potential intruders.
To avoid this you can have a steel security screen installed, protecting both the glass and the frame of the window, making it incredibly difficult for criminals or vandals to break through. We offer a wide range of screens to our clients looking to secure their windows, no matter the size or shape, we can cut them to fit, ensuring you have the proper security in place.
