It is a regrettable and unfortunate fact that windows and doors are quite obviously two of the most common points of entry for a burglar. However, all is not lost, as there are some procedures that you can implement to better improve the security of your windows and doors. Don?t make it any easier for the burglar than you have to!
Before you start to implement any home security system in earnest, make sure to carefully examine your house from the outside. Pay close attention to the actual layout of your home. Do a careful review of your personal habits to. Keep in mind that burglars are going to work on a "easiest way first" basis, which means they will try the most obvious way or easily overcome obstacles first to see if there is a quick route into your house. So think twice before you leave your keys under the mat, the windows unlocked or the doggie doors unsecure whenever you are not home. Keep these secure as they are your first layer of protection.

This high-end, luxury and extravagant image was not really helped much by the Jodie Foster film (aptly titled Panic Room), which brought the safe room into the widely accepted public domain.
However, in recent years, while it would be a real stretch of the imagination to say that they are cheap, safe rooms are now far cheaper than what they were previously.

It is also possible for an existing room to be converted into a safe room as well.
