Beat the Burglars with our Home Security Tips

Research shows that in the UK, burglars strike every 40 seconds. Families with children are likely victims and 56% of burglaries happen at night!

You are six times more likely to be burgled without both window locks and double locks or deadlocks on outside doors. 73% of burglars use doors to enter a property and in 3% of cases the door is unlocked!

Your security is of paramount importance to us at Evolution and each and every one of our timber alternative windows and doors are designed to not only look beautiful in your home but also to be highly secure for years to come.

Here is the Evolution Windows guide to making your home more secure:

• Remember to lock all doors and windows
• Fit a burglar alarm and ensure it is visible to potential thieves
• Keep valuables and all house and car keys out of sight
• Fit outside security lighting
• Join your local Neighbourhood Watch scheme
• When recycling fold up any packaging that offers a clue to what your home contains
• Take care what personal information you share on social media (such as telling everyone when you are going on holiday)
• Make your home look occupied while you are out or away on holiday by using lights on timers and asking a trusted neighbour or family member to pop in and check everything is OK
