Where burglars target weaknesses in homes

Burglars target homes for specific reasons. We want to go over a few tips you should follow in order to protect your home from intruders. The more you know, the better a possibility there is that you will purchase the right alarm system for your home. Obviously, we recommend reading our alarm system reviews, but these tips are certainly a good way to figure out where you home has a weakness. By identifying those weaknesses, you’ll be able to figure out how to best protect your home.

The most common way that a burglar can enter you home is through the door. Yes, it’s that simple. Burglars can pick a lock, use a credit card, screwdriver or kick in the door. There’s also the possibility of just walking into the home because it’s unlocked.

Glass doors are also highly susceptible to burglars. Glass doors, while lovely, are quickly and easily broken. A glass break sensor or a motion sensor in an alarm system would be ideal for sliding glass doors.

We also realize that many people leave a spare key outside of their home. Burglars know this and as a result, they hunt around your house for an easy in through the front door. Regardless of whether they have a key, an alarm system will deter an intruder. Without the code to disarm a system, the alarm system will go off and trigger a problem.

The final note we’d like to point out is that it’s summer time now. In the summer, people like to leave their windows open at night. This is a really easy way to break into your home. An alarm system will act a deterrent or intruders. Your home will be better protected, but burglars will still target the a home with an open window. A small crack is enough to make a large crack or to sneak a hand in and unlock a door.
