Introduction

No special skills are required, but some experience of electrical work would be an advantage when fitting a burglar alarm.

It is estimated that as many as 60% of burglaries are made by entry through unlocked windows and doors, so it makes sense to check that you have secured all your doors and windows before going to bed or leaving the house. An intruder alarm provides additional peace of mind and a simple smoke alarm gives advanced warning in the event of fire. All the equipment you need is available for you to fit yourself.

Securing your home against burglary is more about common sense than making your house into a fortress.
