Home Security Advice

Windows left open are one of the most common causes of burglary. Window opening restrictions allow you to ventilate your home while preventing the window from being opened wide enough for someone to climb through.

Fit window locks with keys to all ground floor windows and those easy to reach, for example windows above a flat roof or near a drainpipe. Window locks can be easily seen from the outside and may put burglars off, as breaking glass risks attracting attention. 

Remove the keys from the locks and keep them with your house and car keys out of sight. Everyone in the property should know where the keys are kept, so they can escape a fire.
