Common Home Security Mistakes
A home burglary can be a terrifying experience! Don’t make your home an easy target by making these common home security mistakes.
With thousands of home break-ins throughout Perth each year and a rise in violent home invasions, having adequate security is a priority for most homeowners. OzShut’s Security Shutters provide highly effective window & door protection while being a modern, versatile and cost effective addition to any home.
Statistics show that an easily accessed window or door is the most common entry point for any home break-in. Sometimes they have simply been left open or unlocked but even with good quality deadlocks, a determined burglar will rarely hesitate to just smash through the glass! Often they choose a window at the back of the home where there is complete privacy or an area hidden from street view by bushes or fencing. Any exposed window can provide potential, easy entry into your home!
Security measures such as an alarm system, CCTV cameras, heavy duty locks, perimeter fencing and guard dogs all help towards deterring burglars. However what they all fail to do is prevent access to the fragile glass of your windows.
This is what makes OzShut Roller Shutters the superior choice for your home’s security. By providing complete protection to your windows and doors they will help STOP a thief gaining entry into your home.
OzShut Security Roller Shutters are manufactured from a high quality, Marine Grade Aluminium. This material is used for its strength as well as durability and resilience to weather.
All Roller Shutters are fitted directly into the brickwork around the outside of a window, door or other suitable opening by our qualified installers. They are secured in place with heavy duty, stainless steel masonry fixings so can not simply be removed during an attempted robbery.
With the entire window securely covered there is no ability to break into your home by forcing the window open or smashing the glass.
The Roller Shutter curtain moves up and down within heavy duty tracks on each side. These solid rails hold the curtain securely in place making any attempt of forced entry extremely difficult. As a low cost optional extra, OzShut also offers our exclusive OZHD super heavy duty side rail. It is thicker and stronger than all standard Roller Shutters on the market. (Suitable only for Electric Roller Shutters)
A solid piece of extruded aluminium is installed across the bottom of all OzShut Roller Shutters. This reinforced security bar helps prevent the ability to pull the Roller Shutter away from the window and out of its side tracks.
When the Roller Shutter is completely closed, locking springs are automatically activated inside the top pelmet box. Once locked in place, it is not possible to force the Roller Shutter open by lifting it from the bottom.
Apart from their popularity for home security, OzShut Roller Shutters also boast a range of other benefits. They can provide a solution to ALL your window covering needs! These include light & noise control, reduced heat transfer, privacy and weather protection. Visit our Product Information page to learn more.
Ultimately, Roller Shutters installed on all windows and doors will provide the most complete security for your home. Many homeowners begin by installing Security Roller Shutters on the front windows of their house. This provides a fantastic visual deterrent to thieves looking for an easy target. Alternatively, windows at the back or sides of the home that are hidden from street view might be your priority or bedroom windows for night time peace of mind.
