Everybody wants their home to be safe and secure. Nobody wants their home to be broken into when they are not there, and they probably want it to happen even less when they are there. If someone is willing to break into your home while you are there, then there is a really good chance that they are willing to harm you and your family. Confrontations of people who are entering your home are not going to be the best way to go, so with all things considered the best forms of security that you can integrate into your home are preventative measures. These are literally things that make it more difficult for the bad people to get in, giving you more time to react if you are home or the police more notice if you are not home. With that said, lets look at what the best forms of home security are.
Alarm systems are the most obvious of home security systems. When a person breaches an entryway or a window, an alarm is sounded that will alert the neighbors, police or you if you are home. The alarm systems that notify the police are going to need an ongoing contract for a monthly service to monitor the activity, so be prepared for both the installation charges as well as the monthly fees. The biggest issue with alarm systems is that they only provide notifications of when someone is actually entering the home. Cameras work the same way, basically letting you or others know that there is someone inside of your house. This does almost nothing to stop or slow them down, it just gives them notice that they need to rob you faster because the police may be on the way. While we do suggest having a home security alarm system as part of the total security of a house, we find that alarm systems are not the best method of preventing crime.
Iron security doors are the best method of stopping or slowing down the entry into your home. Thieves exploit the easy points of your home to enter, because their main goal is to get in and out as quickly and quietly as possible. They will break windows near doors in order to reach inside and unlock the door, or will simply kick the door hard enough to break the wood around the hinges. While there is a very minimal amount of security involved in simply having a lock on your door, these things do very little to slow down bad people. This is why the installation of security doors made of iron are so much more effective. Iron is so strong that a kick is not going to be able to remove them from their mounts, and if iron bars are installed over windows they are not going to be able to be breached with a simple breakage of glass. Iron installations are going to require a serious amount of work with a saw or possibly a blow torch in order to get through them which will slow a bad guy down significantly. The majority of thieves will simply move on to the next easy target, as opposed to risking getting caught because of the noise they are going to generate trying to break in. If you are ready for actual home security, invest in a security door made of iron.
