Feel Safe Inside: 5 Sneaky Security Hacks Burglars Don’t Want You to Know

Burglars, beware: Amplimesh® is exposing your secrets! While investing in Amplimesh® security screens is one of the most effective ways to strengthen your home, there are other smart security measures you can take. Have you ever found yourself lying awake, questioning whether your home is safe? It’s time to put those worries to rest.

In our latest deep dive, we’re sharing our top security tips to help you feel safe inside. Whether you’re a young family in your new home or someone looking to improve your home security, our guide is here to help.

Power of Visibility

A well-lit home is one of the best deterrents for potential intruders. Installing motion sensor lights that activate when movement is detected can startle and discourage burglars. These lights should cover key areas like entryways, driveways, and dark corners to ensure no area is left unmonitored.

Pairing lighting with Amplimesh® security screens enhances your home’s security even further. Picture this: as light floods your entryway, intruders are confronted with 316 marine-grade stainless steel Amplimesh SupaScreen®  security screens. This combination of visibility and a physical barrier discourages break-ins and keeps your home safe.

Smart Home, Safe Home

A modern security system can greatly enhance your home’s protection. With motion sensors, sirens, and real-time security cameras, you can monitor any suspicious activity. Many of these systems are affordable and require no subscription fees.

When combined with Amplimesh® security screens, a smart security system creates a comprehensive defence strategy. You can rest assured that when you invest in Amplimesh® products, they have passed all Australian Standards for security screens. Amplimesh SupaScreen®, StormGuard®, IntrudaGuard®, and PrivacyGuard® security products are subjected to a rigorous regime of impact tests, jemmy tests, pull testing, and knife shear tests under this standard, to ensure that the inherent strength and structural integrity of the manufactured security products are maintained.

Even if an intruder attempts a break-in, the reinforced design of security screens ensures their efforts are met with resistance, giving you valuable time to react.

Fortify Your Fortress

Amplimesh® security screens are designed to provide ultimate protection. Our security doors and screens feature a powerful triple-lock system that secures all three points simultaneously. Meeting Australian Standard AS4145.2-2008, these locks are durable and highly reliable.

Amplimesh partners with industry leaders such as Doric and Allegion to integrate cutting-edge locks with our security screens. This means your home benefits from the highest level of protection, making it a true fortress against intruders.

The Illusion of Occupancy

If you love to travel, burglars may see an opportunity when your home is left unoccupied. One simple way to deter them is by setting timers on lights and electronics. A constantly dark house is an obvious sign that no one is home, making it a prime target for burglary. Timed lighting creates the illusion of occupancy, making burglars think twice about targeting the area.

Amplimesh security screens add an extra layer of protection. Even if burglars suspect the house is empty, the reinforced security screens act as a strong physical barrier, preventing easy access. Keeping valuables out of sight from windows is another effective deterrent.

Additionally, be mindful of what you share on social media. Posting about your vacation in real time signals that your home is unoccupied, increasing the risk of a break-in. Wait until you return to share your travel experiences.

Community Matters

A connected and watchful neighbourhood is one of the best defences against crime. When neighbours look out for each other, burglars are less likely to target the area.

When multiple homes are secured with high-quality security screens, it creates a strong deterrent for burglars, making the whole neighbourhood safer.

By combining smart habits, advanced security technology, and high-quality security screens, you can significantly enhance your home’s safety.
