Innovative Security Solution For Flats
Burglars often target flats because they have communal entrances that may be left open or aren’t effective. As your door is your last line of defence it’s very important you keep it secure, along with taking advantage of the security features of the Door eGuard, there are a few other important considerations when ensuring safety in your flat:
- Internal letterbox shields prevent your keys from being ‘fished’ through the letterbox
- Be vigilant when opening the door to somebody you do not know
- Investing in a jewellery safe gives you a safe place to store your valuables in the event of a break-in
- If you’re on the ground floor, remember to lock your windows when not in use or when you go out
- Don’t leave your keys under the doormat or anywhere obvious, if you are prone to losing keys – invest in digital locks
- If your communal entrance is not effective, urging your landlord to fit a master key system can provide a secure entrance to the building for those designated a key
