How Easily Can a Burglar Get into Your Business?
Is your business susceptible to burglary? Many companies have basic security measures, but don’t know exactly how effective these are.
Business Burglary Facts
Did you know that most businesses are robbed when they are closed? If no one is there at night or over a weekend, you’re more likely to be targeted by a burglar.
However, more than half of burglars look for another target if they believe the business is protected by an alarm.
The vast majority of business intrusions in which thieves are deterred before finishing the theft are the direct result of a loud alarm. If you install an auditory alarm,
it can scare away the burglars before they get anything valuable.
While some burglars use lock picks or keys to get into the business they intend to burglar, a large number of them (over half) will force their way through a window
or door. However, nearly half of burglaries occur because the business door was left unlocked.
With this knowledge, how can you properly protect your building and business from burglars?
Here are Shuretech’s top tips.
Steps to Protect Your Business
If you’re serious about keeping theft away from your business, you need to invest in security and safety. An alarm is a great deterrent, but it won’t prevent people
from trying to break in if they think you’re gone. So, you’ll need to add more measures to keep burglars away from the very beginning.
Security Shutters
Do you have a large window or opening at the front of your business? Security shutters can lock this up so you don’t need to worry about someone smashing the
window or getting in that way. Security shutters are difficult to break and most people will avoid going through them as they are both noisy and difficult.
Access System
Since some people do get into the business with a key, you should know exactly who is in the building at any given time. An access system with a key card or code
will keep track of who is coming and going.
Security Doors
Your business doors should be heavy duty and ready to stay put, even if someone tries to force their way inside. The security doors come in a range of designs,
but you’ll want to choose one that not only keep thieves out, but look good with your business.
These measures will help you keep your business secure as you build it up. Whether you have a retail store, a factory, or another type of business, proper security
methods are always a good idea. They will save you money over time.
