Burglaries increase sharply, especially in autumn and winter. The good news: a few targeted measures make your home significantly safer.
Shutters – the underestimated barrier
Closed shutters with anti-lift devices are a considerable obstacle. Burglars avoid homes with active shutters because forcing them takes time and creates noise.
Resistance classes RC1 to RC3
- • RC1: basic protection against opportunists
- • RC2: withstands simple tools for up to 3 minutes – standard for homes
- • RC3: increased protection, withstands up to 5 minutes
Smart control as additional protection
With timers or smart home control you simulate presence even on holiday. This is one of the most effective protection mechanisms.
