Security Systems for Doors and Windows

Protect your windows with anti-burglary security systems

Lately we have seen an accelerated growth in the numbers of thefts and robberies. Unfortunately this trend is increasing both during the day and in the hours of darkness.

It is our responsibility to secure our homes in order to protect ourselves and the rest of our families. Furthermore, when we are away from home we can be more at peace knowing that our valuables have been placed in complete safety.

According to statistics, more than 70% of break-ins occur through forced entry doors, windows and French windows. Situations with forced entry doors are less common, probably because the opening is better defended and protected by lighting or by the same clearly visible position.

Special attention must be paid to the protective function of the window frame. In fact, our frames are the first line of defense against theft and robberies. For this reason, it is necessary to choose safe and quality products.

A small humble premise is however necessary: there is no burglar-proof fixture that is impossible to overcome. In fact, the evolution of the security sector chases professional thieves who always find new sophisticated ways to bypass the protection devices.

What does burglar-proof system mean?

Given the premise that there is no such thing as absolute security, we can try to enter the world of products designed to prevent break-ins.

Burglar resistance does not mean being immune to burglaries, but reaching a certain level of resistance demonstrated by a universal methodology. The test methods are defined at European level with a standard accepted by the various member countries.

The attacker's action is then simulated in order to certify how a product responds to the various tests. When a product resists for a limited time to an attack with a certain burglary equipment, then, once the test has been passed, the relative degree of burglary is defined.

Burglar-proof classes of windows and doors

There are 6 burglar-proof classes and for each one a specific simulation has been defined that involves the use of certain tools useful for trying to force in a certain time limit. The test is positive when, even if the product is deformed or made unusable, it has not been possible to create a passage that corresponds to the size of a human head.

The level of security of a burglar-proof product is measured in six classes. The higher the level, the greater the resistance to attempted burglary carried out with increasingly sophisticated tools and over a longer period of time.

According to police data, the occasional burglar gives up on breaking in the first 2-3 minutes. The goal of class 2 products is to make it difficult for a burglar equipped with a screwdriver, pliers and a wedge to break in for an average of 3 minutes.

If you live in a high-risk area, we recommend switching to resistance class 3, which allows you to resist for at least 5 minutes against an intruder equipped with a crowbar.

But burglar resistance class 3 may not be enough in some cases. For those who live in particularly risky areas, burglar resistance class 4 is the right choice: the burglar can use small electric devices and hammers for 10 minutes.

Resistance classes 5 and 6 are very specific classes and can be obtained by making the various anti-burglary systems work together.
