Home Security Today Is Vital: Is Your Front Door Safe?

 

Research suggests that in England and Wales there is a burglary every two minutes, with 191,490 residential homes being attacked in the year ending March 2023. Figures show that in Hertfordshire there were 5.2 burglaries per thousand people. Note that is people, not homes. There are 2.36 residents per home in the UK, so that translates to 5.2 burglaries per 385 homes in Hertfordshire.

Burglary now sometimes happens even when people are actually in their homes. But of course, there are many times when you are not at home for one reason or another, which is the case for most of us. This is one very good reason why your home needs to be as secure as possible.

Burglars basically have two choices: either to gain entry through the windows or the doors. Most often, they opt for the doors because it’s often just easier than the windows.

Not only that, but they have sophisticated tools that can open locks with ease – unless you have the sort of locks that can defeat them, which many doors don’t. This is just one very good reason why you might wish to consider installing a new front door.
