“In a recent blog post we outlined the importance of not becoming complacent when it comes to home security,” states Paul Weldon, managing director of The Panic Room Company.

“Thieves will certainly think twice about attempting to enter a property where the homeowner has taken security precautions such as having CCTV, a burglar alarm and window locks. You don’t need to spend a fortune either. Adding a new front and back door with multi-point locking to any home, for example, will deter burglars and give peace of mind.”
