Burglar alarms are not the be-all and end-all of home security. There are plenty of other things you can install in your residence that will help to stop a burglar from gaining entry and a lot of of them are really basic and economical.

The important is to secure the feasible points of entry. This indicates that doors should be produced of robust, solid material (certainly not plastic or glass), be appropriately secured to their hinges and have tamper-resistant locks. Ideally, you must have an additional deadbolt that you put on at night, produced from really sturdy metal.

Windows really should be made from toughened glass, preferably double-glazed, so that they are virtually impossible to break. Though window locks are reasonably uncommon, they assist greatly with safety, and you ought to consider putting in them. If your house has windows in a position where they can be effortlessly and discreetly accessed from the street, such as basement windows, you must think about putting metal bars on them.

It is also important for your garden to be secure, as far far more burglars enter by way of the back of your home than the front. This means that your fences should be high and have some type of anti-climbing measures (spikes or anti-climb paint can perform effectively). If you dont like fences, get big hedges instead.
