Additional Home Security
Defining Additional Home Security
Home security is the process of making your home safe from burglars, intruders, and other potential threats. There are a number of different ways to do this, but some of the most common include installing locks on doors and windows and alarm systems.
One of the most important things you can do to keep your home safe is to make sure all of your doors and windows are locked. This may seem like an obvious measure, but many burglaries occur simply because homeowners forget to lock up. Another good idea is to install an alarm system; if someone does break into your home, the alarm will notify people around the property and help to deter the burglar from trying anything else.
Security Improvements
Bespoke UPVC bolts for doors:
Most UPVC doors will have at least two bolts fitted as standard, one at the top and one at the bottom. However, it’s always worth fitting additional bespoke UPVC bolts for extra security. These can be fitted in a number of different positions, depending on your needs. When fitting bespoke UPVC door bolts, it’s important to get a professional to do it for you. We will ensure that they are fitted correctly and won’t come loose over time.
Bolts and stops suitable for UPVC windows:
The first thing to consider is the size of the bolt. It should be large enough to deter would-be burglars, but not so large that it’s difficult to operate. A good rule of thumb is to choose a bolt that is at least 1 inch in diameter. Next, you’ll want to consider the stop. This is the part of the security measure that actually prevents the window from being opened. For UPVC windows, you’ll want to choose a stop that is made from heavy-duty metal or plastic.
Upgrades to existing locking systems:
When it comes to home security, one of the most important aspects is the locking system. Whether it’s a traditional key and lock or a more modern electronic system, keeping your home safe and secure starts with a good lock. But even the best locks can be improved, and there are always new
products and technologies emerging that can make your locking system even better. Here are some of the latest upgrades to existing locking systems that you should know about.
One popular upgrade for both residential and commercial properties is an access control system. This type of system uses electronic key cards or fobs to grant access to authorized users and can be used to track who comes and goes from the premises. It’s a great way to add an extra layer of security, especially if you have employees or service providers coming in and out of your home on a regular basis.
Replacement of door panels with reinforced panels:
You can help to secure your home by replacing door panels with reinforced panels. This will make it more difficult for someone to break into your home. Replacing door panels with reinforced panels is a simple and effective way to improve the security of your home.
Bolts for patio doors:
There are a few things to consider when choosing the right type of bolt for your patio door. The first is the material the bolt is made of. Bolts can be made from a variety of materials, but the most common are metal and plastic. Metal bolts are more durable and will last longer, but they can rust over time. Plastic bolts are less durable, but they will not rust.
The second thing to consider is the size of the bolt. Bolts come in a variety of sizes, but the most common are 1/2 inch and 3/4 inch. The size you choose will depend on the size of your door and how much security you need. 1/2-inch bolts are sufficient for most doors, but if you have a larger door or want extra security, you may want to choose a 3/4-inch bolt.
Panic hardware:
When it comes to home security, one of the most important things to consider is panic hardware. This is hardware that is specially designed to provide a quick and easy way to exit a building in the event of an emergency. Panic hardware can be found on doors, windows, and even skylights. It is
important to make sure that all potential exits are equipped with panic hardware in case of an emergency.
Locking products to prevent the glass from being removed
Home security is important for protecting your family and your belongings. One way to improve home security is to install locking products to prevent the glass from being removed. Locking products such as window grilles and door wp-content/uploadss can be installed on windows and doors to make it more difficult for intruders to enter your home. These products can give you peace of mind knowing that your home is better protected against break-ins.
Products to prevent sliding patio doors from being lifted
Sliding patio doors are a common entry point for burglars. There are several products we can provide to you that can help prevent your sliding patio door from being lifted off its tracks.
Door restrictors prevent UPVC doors from opening past 90 degrees in the wind or in the hands of children.
Most UPVC doors are equipped with a door restrictor that limits how far the door can be opened. This is to prevent the door from being blown open in windy weather, or from being opened too far by a child. The door restrictor is usually a small metal plate with a hole in it, that fits over the top of the door. There is usually a small screw that tightens or loosens the restrictor so that it can be adjusted to the desired position.
Door restrictors are an important part of home security, as they help to prevent unwanted visitors from gaining entry to your home. They can also help to keep children safe, by preventing them from opening the door too far and injuring themselves. If you have a UPVC door, be sure to check that it has a door restrictor fitted and that it is correctly adjusted.
