Home Security is Our Speciality
Safer Home Burglary Reduction provides “target hardening” throughout West Yorkshire because no home should be a target for burglary. Working with West Yorkshire Police, local Community Safety partnerships and voluntary agencies we secure properties against the threat of burglary and reducing fear of burglary.
“Target hardening” includes the fitting of additional security measures to a property, such as window/door locks, and door chains. For example attention is paid to uPVC doors, which have been identified by the West Yorkshire Police as a common entry point for burglars; weak Euro Cylinders are replaced by more robust anti-bump and anti-snap Euro Cylinders.
