Security Advice
It goes without saying, the first thing you should be doing is taking all valuables upstairs with you when you go to bed. Just performing a quick sweep through the house can pay off if you are every unlucky enough to be a victim.
Doors that have glass panels on them are fairly easy to smash with an elbow or common household tool. A burglar can just reach in and unlock the door.
Similarly Upvc doors with quarter panels or half panels can be kicked through and as above, unlocked by reaching in.
To combat this you should make sure you remove the key when going to bed or consider upgrading you door to something solid.
Making sure you have the best locks installed is crucial. The best and cheapest tactic is to make sure you have British Standard, insurance approved locks. You can check by looking at the front of the lock to see if it has the kitemark on it. If it does not then you should contact a locksmith to upgrade you right away.
