You may have fitted secure locks on your doors and windows to comply with the minimum insurance requirements but some windows may still act like unlocked doors to a burglar!
Many homes have double glazed windows where the glass is secured by the beading on the outside. This can easily be removed and is one of the most commen ways that burglars get in. Taking out the glass is quick and makes no noise.
“Market research shows that about 6 million homes in the UK are vulnerable but the fact is that most home owners are unaware taht there is a problem”
Only those to whom it has happened really realise how simple and easy it is for a burglar to gain access!
Manufactureres addressed this problem by providing double sided tape which bonds the glass to the frame but this relies on the window fitters using the tape properly, which in many cases can cause them problems when installing, causing some not to use it at all or apply detergent or silicone to the glass which adversly affect the effectiveness of the tape.
“The fact is there are many reasons why the tape may become ineffective, leaving windows vulnerable to burglars”
Authorized Access recommends the use of
NO GO GLASS LOCKS
Lock the glass into the frame so that the glass cannot be removed without smashing.
“NO GO GLASS LOCKS are designed to be easily fitted to existing windows and are a very cost effective way to make a property even more secure”
