Over the summer of 2012, Thames Valley Police reported that the most common cases of burglary involved offenders:

  • Who gained entry to a home due to an insecure front door
  • Entered via doors that were closed, but unlocked at night, as well as
  • Burglars who reached through open windows and took valuable items

At Hamilton Windows, we know how important both your family’s safety and property are to you. That’s why we work throughout the year to provide our customers with safe and secure windows and doors, which keeps burglary at bay.

In today’s post, we are going to give you 3 key ideas for making your home as safe as possible, with a few handy hints and tips from the Surrey windows and door experts:

1. Invest in Quality Windows and Door 

One of the most effective ways to keep your home safe from the threat of a break in, is to ensure that you have invested both the money and time, equipping your house with quality windows and doors.

You should not only ensure that your doors and windows are made of strong, impenetrable materials, (such as with Composite doors), but also ensure that they have robust locks on them to hinder burglars.

2. Choose a Reputable Installation Team and Manufacturer

When designing the different architectural elements of any home, it’s hard sometimes not to get swept away with the aesthetic.

Ensure that you also factor in the function, safety and security of your windows and doors, by choosing an installation team and manufacturer with all the right accreditations.

At Hamilton Windows, we make sure that expert quality control officers inspect all of our work. Independent bodies such as the British Standard Institute have also tested our products. How’s that for peace of mind?

3. Shut and Lock Your Windows and Doors

It may sound obvious, but as the statistic from the Thames Valley Police shows, a large number of burglaries occurred last summer because people were remiss in locking their windows and doors.

Indeed, Hamilton’s Windows can provide you with the best locks on the market, but unless you remember to use them, this won’t do much to deter intruders!
