How to protect your apartment from thieves?

The most reliable way of housing is considered an iron door. For all iron doors, there are general rules of safety:

- The door should open outwards.

- Casing is supposed to be massive, made of rolled steel.

- The frame, which carries the door, made from welded together along the perimeter of a rectangular steel tube cross-section of 50h30h2 mm.

- The best filler door is a wooden board.

- Castles of excision "grinder" to protect carbide inserts.

But without a good lock steel door virtually useless.

Considered the most reliable locking lever mechanism. Secrecy depends on the amount of code plates (levers). There should be no less than six.

Second lock experts recommend to buy with the same lever or even cylinder mechanism. In-cylinder "innards" are made in the form of a cylinder, sphere or droplet. Number of "dents" on the key is the number of locking pins in the cylinder. If more than five - the castle safe.

Good locks are only secondary or higher secrecy. They use a key or a "card" with different size cavities, or key "magnet". And are these "cylinders"

Experts recommend as a third of the castle to fly solenoid. He is completely invisible, opened by the signal from the remote, which can send infrared light, or work on a radio channel. And you can just buy a single lock heavyweight series - with two mechanisms of secrecy (one - lever type with powerful bolts, the other - the protected cylinder).

Summer in an apartment on the first and second floors of the thieves climb through the parted balcony doors or windows. In the apartments on the upper floors visited by thieves "climbers," which to open the windows down from the roof on ropes.

Typically, the windows and balconies on the lower floors to protect grids. That's not bad, but they can and podpilit, especially if the house facade being any repair work. Therefore, experts recommend protective glazing - composition of the polymer film, glue, and ordinary glass. In this case, even the weak plenochku have a few minutes break. The most powerful - an ax to chop about five minutes. And while there is a glass house, the thieves can be detected.

The surest way to protect - a contract with the other security services. Sensors are installed in the premises, and should the alarm went off as police arrived. Sensors are now available per every budget. The most familiar - the infrared, which respond to thermal radiation.

There are sensors that are able to cut off the animals, there are sensors with miniature video cameras. Sometimes it makes sense to place an ultrasonic detector, which not only takes the reflected signal, but it sends itself. The windows are usually installed acoustic sensors. Attempt to break a door or wall fix the vibration sensors. How many and what kind of sensors is necessary to establish the private security experts decide.

In addition to these ways of protecting the apartment, do not forget these simple rules:

• Do not advertise your absence, and material well-being;

• do not let into the apartment of strangers, imaginary plumber or a social security of workers;

• do not believe the fire victims or the poor who beg;

• Maintain good relations with neighbors in the stairwell: their vigilance - a pledge for your safety.
