Method number 1. Active protection
Active protection – these methods complicate the physical hit by the apartment. These include the installation of doors, locks, grilles, safe, etc.
Choose the door
First of all, it is worth studying the door and a lock in your apartment. If the door is made of thin metal less than 1.2 mm or it is wooden, then there is no point in placing a strong lock. The thieves will simply break the wooden door, and cheap metal will be opened with a knife. The lock is simply cut out of the door or cut the loops with a grinder.
Typically, such Chinese doors go to the owners of apartments from developers. They install the cheapest canvases so that the door lasts until the apartment is rented, and what will happen next to her – the developer is not interested in. Therefore, in new buildings it is better to immediately change the door to a new one. If the developer rented an apartment with a high -quality heavy door, then you should check its frame and how the installers were installed.
It happens that the builders plant the door box simply on the mounting foam or screw it to the wall with thin short screws. Such installation is easy to calculate: with a strong slapping of the door, the box will move. The box should be screwed to the opening with long pins, which should go into the wall by 7-10 cm.
If you need to change the door to a new one, choose a canvas made of cold -rolled steel with a thickness of 1.2–1.8 mm. Also, the door should have anti -reference pins. They go into a metal box and do not allow the door to remove, even if the loops are cut off.
There are still doors with deviators. This is a mechanism with bolts that enter the door of the door. Deviators can be installed vertically and horizontally anywhere in the door. They go into the wall when the key in the castle occurs.
Choose a quality lock
The castle is another obstacle to the robber, who decided to steal in the apartment.
The cylindrical castle is easily hacked. Therefore, if such a castle is in the door, it must be replaced with a pin or leaf. It is better that there are 2-3 different locks in the door than one road. For example, if the door has a leaf lock – it is hacked by the master keys, but the pin is hacked mechanically. Therefore, to open such a door, you will need more time, which the thief does not have at all. Additionally, armorplastine can protect the lock from hacking. It is installed on the castle case. So the robber will be difficult to drill the mechanism.
We protect the windows
If the apartment is on the first and top floor, then thieves can enter it through the windows. You can put the lattices, but this option spoils the type and is dangerous in case of fire. If a fire occurs, residents will not be able to quickly leave the apartment.
Therefore, a more modern option is to install locks on windows. These are mechanisms that are screwed into the frame. They do not allow to open the window, even if the sash was squeezed out. You can also install pens with locks.
Method number 2. Passive protection
Passive protection is methods that can scare away or calculate thieves in case of theft. These include video surveillance and alarm systems.
Video surveillance systems
To protect housing from robbers, you can use video surveillance systems. The camera is installed in the entrance above the front door or inside the apartment. If the camera has remote access, you can connect to it using a smartphone and see what is happening in the apartment. Usually thieves closely monitor the object of theft, and if the apartment has a camera, they will not fall into her field of view so as not to attract attention. It must be installed in such a way that it is difficult to get it. Another version of video surveillance is to install a eye with a memory card or a smart intercom. These devices will write down what is happening and not attract attention.
Signaling
The alarm is placed on the windows and doors. It works at the slightest knock or hacking. Some systems can even independently cause security. Such a system is especially useful if the owners often and for a long time leave the apartment unattended.
Method number 3. Mulyazhi
If the budget is limited, you can buy a camera dummy and install it in a prominent place. There are also alarm dummy, they scare away thieves.
You can buy a socket with a timer and connect a lamp to it. When it gets dark, the light will turn on, and there will be a feeling that someone has someone in the apartment. You can also use a smart column. She works via the Internet. The owner sends a voice team and the column turns on the music while the apartment is empty.
Conclusion
To protect the apartment from robbers, you need to install a high -quality metal door. At the installation stage, you should carefully fix the door box to the wall using self -tapping screws. A good door has anti -detergent pins and deviators from the side of the handle or loops.
It is better when the door has 2 locks – leaf and pin. The thief will have to hack them in different ways.
If the apartment is on the first two floors or on the last, then you need to put the handles with a lock and locks on the windows.
From passive protection, you can install a video camera with remote access or eye with a memory card. Use a socket with a timer. It will include light in the apartment when it gets dark.
If you just need to scare away thieves, it is worth using camcorders and alarms.
