Yes, a security system is an important first step in protecting your home, but a lot of people forget to set their system, especially during the day when most home burglaries occur. That's right, the majority of home burglaries take place between 6 a.m. and 6 p.m. when you are at work. Installing security doors and locks is a great way to keep your home and family safe and obstructs a key entry and exit point of your house.

Yes, it's important to secure your windows with our burglar bars, but as stated above, a third of all break-ins enter through the front door. It would not be uncommon for a burglar to use a repair truck to disguise their actual purpose. And a nosy neighbor may not even pay attention to a couple guys going in and out the front door if a repair truck is in the driveway.
