Oh yes, it's summertime!
Temperatures are sky-high (quick, grab that insect repellent... "A Bug's Life" has just spawned!) so is the rate of burglaries during this particular time of year.
According to the Burglary Prevention Council (which keeps track of annual break-ins), summertime is always the peak season for criminal activities such as break-ins.
So before you even think of hitting the road for popular campgrounds and vacation spots along the beach... We at theBulldog Bar want to make sure to take care of your own castle first...before building one on the sand!
Recent statistics show that break-ins typically occur in these particular locations of a property:
Front Door: 34%
Its always an easy in and easy out, so you might have to concentrate heavily on your front door by installing a solid pick-resistant deadbolt lock and of course, enhancing it with a good lighting system to make your front door visible across the street or to anyone passing by.
First Floor Windows: 23%
You should definitely have double protection for easy-to-reach windows such as those on your main floor.
Side Entry: 22%
We are definitely talking about your patios here, folks! Installing jamming rods (or door security locks like theBulldog Bar ) can help protect your humble abode more effectively than just your curtains and/or blinds.
Garages: 9%
With the evolution of new high-tech door openers, some universal electronic "gizmos" these days may be capable of bypassing your garage door system. In this case, you can always use metal rods or bars to prevent these doors from moving up or down.

As the "dog days of summer" continue to pass, make sure your residence is fully-equipped with the best door security systems in place...even if you're not leaving town for summer vacation.
