Burglary Prevention Device

Did you know that a home burglary takes places every 14.6 seconds in the United States? It does and it takes the average burglar 60 seconds to get inside your home and he will leave your house with an average of $1725 in loot. People all across the country walk into this scenario everyday. ADT security Los Angeles can help you not become a crime statistic though.

There are many things in addition to having a monitored alarm system you can do to lower your chances of being the victim of a break in or home invasion. The first thing is to always make sure your doors and windows are locked. Unlocked doors and windows are an open invitation for burglars. Burglars will check for unlocked doors or other easy entry points when picking a house to rob.

Sliding glass doors can also be an easy entry way for crooks because they rely on latches not locks to be kept close. Latches make forced entry much easier. Using a secondary lock on these types of doors is essential. You can use a piece of wood or metal in the frame or a pin up on top to prevent the doors from sliding even if the latch is broken.

Windows are also left open and unlocked far more often than doors and burglars know that. Sometimes it is as simple as a crook seeing a window open while walking by to make your house the target. Always close windows and lock them when you are not at home.

It is also a wise idea to invest in a home alarm system. Most people end up looking into security systems once they have already been robbed and wish they would have done it sooner. ADT security Los Angeles offers both home burglary and fire alarm monitoring.
