Secure Your Home Windows and Doors

It is important to secure all points of entry into your home, including doors and windows. We recommend installing security film on the glass in areas that are more susceptible to break-ins like sliding doors or patio window panes. This clear adhesive film protects against forced entry attempts by adding thickness to the glass and making it harder, if not impossible, for would-be burglars to break.

Install an Alarm Pad or Wireless Transmitter on Your Front Door

Another great way to secure your home is with an alarm pad under the front doormat. This will ensure that any time your door opens, even if you are entering your home, you will be alerted. The alarm pad can easily attach to the bottom of most front doors and ensures that if someone tries to enter without disarming it first, they’ll still trigger the system.


The holidays can be a stressful time of year, but they don’t have to be. By taking some simple steps like installing an alarm system and video surveillance on your Niagara home, you’ll be able to stay stress-free while enjoying the holiday season!
