Not only mechanical measures, but also modern security technology can make a decisive contribution to preventing break -ins. Alarm systems and video surveillance are effective means to deter potential perpetrators. In addition, almost half of all burglary attempts fail because perpetrators take too long to get into the building. This shows how important it is to have invested security measures carried out by specialist craftsmen in order to guarantee the best possible protection.
