Tips on Prevention
This is a section on burglary prevention tips. Items to this area will be added regularly.
Windows
To prevent double sash windows or sliding glass doors from being opened from the outside:
- Place appropriate sized dowels or rubber tipped, extendable, shower curtain rods in the window tracks to keep the windows shut and prevent someone from using a crowbar or other means to open windows.
Doors
To prevent unauthorized access via doors with adjacent windows:
- Install double keyed entry dead bolt locks which require a key to unlock from the outside and inside. Schlage makes the best dead bolt locks.
