SECURING EXTERNAL DOORS
For maximum security it is recommended that all front, side and back doors should be at least 44mm thick and be fitted with both Cylinder Rim Lock and a Mortice Lock.
There are two main types of door lock available:
CYLINDER RIM LOCKSalso called surface locks or nightlatches. These are fitted to the surface of the door and are used mainly as a convenient security lock for external doors.
MORTICE LOCKSalso called Deadlocks are fitted into a slot, or mortice, within the main body of the door and can be used for securing any external doors.

DOOR VIEWER
6 out of every 10 burglaries begin with entry through a window at the back of the house. Some of these burglaries are made by simply easing an already open window and many are made by breaking the glass and reaching in to release the window catch.
Such forced entry can be prevented by fitting effective window locks to your home, particularly on all downstairs windows and upstairs windows that are accessible from a flat roof, drainpipe or other vantage point.
Window locks secure the window to the frame by a simple bolt or clasp operation. This means that forced entry can only be made by breaking all the glass in the window and climbing through. The time it takes to do this, the noise it creates, and the prospect of injury is often enough to deter the opportunist burglar.
