Improving burglary protection with hinges and locks
Good burglary protection stands or falls with the hinges and locks of your home. If this is not in order, you can hang as many cameras as you want, but they will have little effect.

This body approves locks for safety and awards stars for that. This way you can immediately see how safe a lock is.

Take measures against burglary
If you are regularly away from home, it is important that you have good hinges and locks so that you can lock the house properly and thus prevent burglary. However, there are other things that are important to do, especially when you are away for a longer period of time. In that case it is important that you make sure that it is not obvious that you are gone. Provide a lamp that regularly switches on a timer and close all doors and windows properly. Create the impression that someone is in the house by having someone else open and close the curtains.
Various types of burglary protection
If you opt for good burglary protection, there are several points that you should take into account:
- Always choose good hinges and locks. It is better to pay a little more so that you create more safety with it
- Are you dealing with a specific budget? Then try to stay inside, but choose locks that meet your requirements and suit the home
- Determine for yourself how much security the locks should offer against burglary. You can choose from standard security or (extra) heavy security against burglary.
- Choose locks with an anti-core pull protection so that core pulling is made impossible
- Also think about mounting so-called SecuStrips on the door
What to do if your keys are missing?
If you have stored your keys too well at home and can no longer find them, it is always wise to have a new key made. You need at least one spare key and often one more is even better so that you never go wrong. However, are your keys stolen or have you lost them outside the home? Then there is a chance that the person who now owns them will gain unauthorized access to your home. To prevent this, it is wise to have a new lock fitted by the locksmith.
