Window Sensors

How safe is your home? Are your windows secure? When it comes to burglary, the most vulnerable parts of your home are the windows. For this reason, window sensors are a wise precaution, as are the following safety tips:

Window Security: Inexpensive Tips

  1. Plant bushes and plants below your windows. Burglars don't like to deal with bushes—especially if those bushes have thorns.

  2. Secure your side windows with window alarms. Window alarms--generally referred to by security companies as window sensors—are the best way to protect your side windows and your front and back windows as well. Security Solutions offers various security packages, all of which include window and door alarms.

  3. Install lights above or near your windows. Again, your side windows should take priority.

  4. Purchase inexpensive tinting for your lower-level windows and for your storm doors as well. Burglars cannot see through the tinting unless their faces are pressed against the window.

  5. Consider buying a dog. If you don't have animal related allergies, this is definitely a smart precaution to take. In addition, many hardware stores have stickers which warn potential burglars that a dog lives in your house. You can utilize the sticker even if you don't have a dog.
