NAS Security recommends that the following safety measures become part of your daily routine to protect your home, family and personal belongings. 

• Fit windows with security locks and install an electronic security alarm system.

• Place lengths of dowel in window tracks if security locks are not an option.

• Install external sensor lighting over entry points and cars.

• Lock sheds and garages with padlocks and keep them closed at all times.

• Install security locks to the windows of sheds or use dowel in the window tracks.

• Lock your letter box with a padlock.

• If you are going away have someone collect your mail and stop the delivery of the newspaper.

• The back door of your house is often more vulnerable than the front door. Install a security screen door and a dead lock on the back door.

• Lock backyard gates with padlocks if you are going away.

• Identify who is at the door before opening. Install a strong security chain or a door viewer to the front door.  Install a security screen door.

• Install dead locks to all external doors including connecting doors into the garage and house.

• Remove garden that is close to the house that would conceal a burglar.

• Do not enter your home if you can see it has been broken into. Phone the police and wait. Never confront an intruder just take a description for the police.

• Keep a photograph of valuables, a written record of serial numbers and engrave your licence number on all valuable property.
