Good morning everyone,

The topic of burglary protection is very important to me. I have recently read that many windows do not meet safety requirements. I am now a bit uncertain because I am planning to replace the windows in our older house in the spring.

I would appreciate any tips or recommendations on what types of windows would be suitable.

Thank you very much for your help.

Hello,

I witnessed at my neighbor’s place that the burglars came with heavy equipment. Fortunately, they were unsuccessful because they got disturbed. I suspect that gaining access through these new windows was not easy for them.

Back to the question: I believe it is important for windows and doors to be solidly constructed.

Hello Regina,

I am really afraid that something like that might happen to me someday. That’s why having sturdy windows and doors is an absolute must. We will also be upgrading ours soon.

Have a great weekend

Hi,

Windows make a break-in more difficult, but there is no absolute security. Solid windows make breaking in harder, but no more than that. We have now had an anti-burglary lock installed.

There is also camera surveillance. That makes me feel safer. But one thing is clear to me: burglars know methods to get into the house anyway.

Best regards

Hello,

I believe that secure windows are a reliable protection against burglaries. Statistics show that many burglars enter houses through the windows.

Surveillance cameras may be useful, but they do not deter burglars. Unfortunately, that is the case.

There are no windows that are completely burglar-proof. Anyone who believes that is mistaken. Some window manufacturers may claim this, but it is nonsense. They are just trying to make a sale.

First of all, thank you for your responses.

I visited the police station to inquire and received some helpful information.

Additionally, I found a company near me that provided good advice. We have now agreed that they will install new windows for me.

Thanks for the help.
