Open garage doors attract burglars. Make a habit of keeping garage doors closed and locked, an open garage door with no car in sight is a clear invitation to a burglar, especially if the garage is used to store such items as bicycles, power mowers, garden tools, and other easily stolen property. Sliding glass doors are particularly vulnerable to attacks by burglars. Key-operated pins or grips are a preferred method of securing sliding glass doors. Insert pin or nail.
Windows are another common entry point for burglars.
Insert pin or nail. Good security for windows is provided by key-operated window locks, especially when used as auxiliaries to conventional window locks. Remember, an open or unlocked window or door invites burglars. Most burglars are looking for unoccupied homes. If your home appears occupied, the burglar will usually look for other more inviting sites.
