Security Advice
Premier T70 high-security windows, doors and conservatories are internally glazed with multi-point locking and additional anti-intruder devices that offer proven protection against burglary.
To take full advantage of these security features we would recommend the following sensible precautions.
Look at your property from a burglar's point-of-view - how would you get in? If your Premier T70 windows and doors haven't overcome all these issues then keep on reading.
Invest in a proper burglar alarm and make the most of it - switch it on when you go out and keep the alarm's casing and signage visible. Don't leave a window open when you go out - you might as well send out invites.
Some windows, Premier T70 included, lock whenever the handle is closed, preventing you leaving it unsecured. But in cases where you might be away for a while, lock all windows with the key and don't simply hide them away in a draw - leave them near to the windows, or doors, but out of view from the outside in case you need them in a hurry or are a little forgetful!
Make sure door handles are fully lifted and key locked to operate the locking system - it's no good having plenty of ironmongery on your door if the locks aren't engaged!
Although night ventilation on windows is a good idea, especially for rooms prone to condensation, it's not a good idea to leave them like that if you go away.
Make use of light - burglars hate it. This can be done by installing exterior lights of the sensor type, and a timer switch to turn interior lights on or off if you're away.
Don't advertise your absence when you're away for a few days - cancel your milk and papers and only ask someone who knows you to keep an eye on your property.
And finally, if the worst does happen please, please make sure you have adequate home insurance and that your payments are up-to-date.
