Most break-ins happen where criminals find it easy. Make your premises a harder target.

Criminals usually look for the easiest target. If your premises look well lit, well maintained and well guarded, most will move on to somewhere else. Small changes can make a big difference.

1. Light up the outside

Good lighting around doors, yards and parking areas removes hiding places. Check outside lights regularly and replace broken bulbs straight away.

2. Fix fences and gates quickly

Damaged fencing tells criminals that nobody is paying attention. Walk your boundary once a week and look for gaps, holes or loose panels.

3. Cut back bushes near windows

Overgrown plants give intruders cover. Keep plants trimmed low near windows, doors and walls.

4. Use strong locks and roller doors

Check that locks, padlocks and roller doors are in good condition. Replace old padlocks with heavy-duty ones and keep spare keys secure.

5. Put up security signs

Clear signs show that the premises are protected. Signs work best when they are backed up by real security on site.

6. Have a guard or regular patrols

A visible guard is one of the strongest deterrents. Guards can also check doors and lights and report problems during patrols.
