MORAY SECURITY Burglar Alarm Installers

A good quality and correctly specified alarm system is one of the best crime prevention measures you could apply to your premises and property.

The two greatest enemies of an intruder are NOISE and TIME and an alarm system can greatly reduce the amount of time afforded to an intruder by making a break-in audible to people nearby. But - an alarm system should be the last line of defence !

Before installing an intruder alarm system basic prevention (to deter an intruder from even considering breaking in to your property in the first place) should be considered -
Take a close look at what your property looks like to a thief. It should look immediately uninviting and difficult to approach, encouraging a thief to go elsewhere.

Fencing, locked gates and good lighting (both inside and out) are all excellent measures as the first line of defence, making your premises appear a hard target to steal from.

If you fail to deter an intruder from targeting your premises and property, it is even more important that all doors and windows of your premises are secure.

Statistics show that 60% of break-ins take place at the rear of premises and are mostly through door and window glazing.

External doors should be solid rather than hollow and fitted with five lever mortice locks to British Standard 3621

Front doors should have an additional rim catch lock for convenient use and additional security. They should also be fitted with a door chain and viewer as standard

Ground floor windows or any upper window which is accessible should be fitted with key operated locks and all keys should be removed.

Back doors should have additional door locks top and bottom.

The most commonly stolen kinds of goods e.g. TVs, video recorders, cameras and computers should be marked, using an ultraviolet pen, with your postcode (display window and door stickers saying this has been done). This measure greatly assists the detection of offenders by the Police during their enquiries and enables them to identify your property.

For further information on crime prevention contact your local Police Office and ask for the Crime Prevention Officer to visit your premises - this is a free service.
