It is very important to choose the right burglar gates for your home if you’re going to be adequately protected against house robbery. Here are some tips on making your choice.
SHOP AROUND FOR BURGLAR GATES, JUST LIKE FOR CARS
It’s not very common for anyone to just go to one car retailer, pick a model in their price range and drive off with it.
Most of us spend some time looking at various brands in our price range (and sometimes way out of it!). We then test drive the ones we really like. And finally, we balance our budget against our heart’s desire before paying for what we really need.
So why should it be any different for burglar gates or any other form of physical security?
The role your security gates play in helping to keep house robbers out of your home could be just as important as your new car’s airbags in a road accident. It could be life saving, or at least give you a chance to escape with as few injuries as possible.
Trellidor showrooms around the country have a full range of burglar gates on display for you to test drive and people that will explain all the difference to you, including prices.
NOTHING’S PERFECT BUT GO FOR THE BEST YOU CAN AFFORD
Absolutely no-one in the security industry with any integrity will ever claim that what they install for you in the way of burglar gates or burglar bars is impenetrable.
If they do, they’re being less than truthful. Because given enough time, the right tools and no danger of being discovered, a determined robber will get through just about anything.
This is one of the reasons why security industry professionals recommend several layers of security, not just one method.
What you’re looking for in terms of security gates is the best strength you can afford.
This means a security gate that has been designed to give you as much time as possible to call for help or make an escape.
A burglar’s biggest fear is being caught in the act, because this puts them under time pressure to finish the job and get away.
So it follows that a well-designed burglar gate is one that gives the robber a hard time.
