Synopsis

Each year more than half-a-million homes are burgled. In three-out-of ten break-ins, a door or a window has been left open - more evidence that many of us continue to believe it'll never happen to us. Security need cost little as this manual shows, even less if you can install locks, alarms and other devices yourself. Whether you are looking for some common sense advice, or guidance on how to choose and install window and door locks, fit an alarm, security light or video entry system - it's all here to give you ideas and the confidence to do-it-yourself. Step-by-step fitting sequences are included, with advice on assessing insurance values and obtaining discounts, names and addresses and useful technical terms. Crime prevention checklists and advice on Neighbourhood Watch schemes are also included.
