Below we will highlight some alarming latest statistics from Ultion on UK domestic burglaries and how you can improve your home security.
39% of Burglaries Happen During the Daytime
Many people expect home break ins to only occur when it is dark. However 39% of all UK domestic burglaries happen during the daytime. Therefore, we recommend taking home security precautions at all times.
In addition to checking that all locks and hinges on your windows and doors for signs of damage, we recommend the following:
Keeping doors locked at all times
Only open windows when necessary

70% of Burglars Gain Access Through the Front Door
With the front door being a clear point of entry for intruders, upgrade your door locks to minimise threat. Ultion Locks are a top choice for anti-snap high security locks and are approved by the Police, British Standards and the Master Locksmiths Association. Ultion Locks fight against lock snapping, bumping, picking and drilling and are even secure if you leave the key in.
58% of Burglaries Happen Whilst Someone is at Home
With over half of UK domestic burglaries occurring whilst someone is at home, it is important to find security to protect your home and family. Consider installing CCTV which you can monitor 24/7 while you are in and out of your house. As well as giving you a warning if anyone tresspasses on your property, this can also collect video evidence if you were to need it.
Motion sensor lights are also a simple, yet effective, deterrent for intruders as it puts them under a spotlight which attracts attention. Of course it can be triggered by an animal walking by, but they are always worth installing to keep you prepared.
