What's Happenin' ...4 Main Locations Where Home Burglaries Happen

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.

Step Right Up! 3 Steps to Creating the Best Home Security at Your Residence

Creating the best home security system for your residence can be easy.

Here are 3 simple steps from theBulldog Bar Squad which can help you better protect your household from break-ins:

Step 1: Check all exterior doors. A secure entry starts with a solid door and a Grade 1 or Grade 2 deadbolt with a solid 1-inch long throw bolt. Any exterior door that only has a lock in the doorknob isn’t 100% secure. A sturdy screwdriver or small pry bar can quickly bow the doorjamb enough to release the latch.

Step 2: Check the doorjamb and both strike plates. Remove the screws from the deadbolt and lockset strike plates on the door frame. If the screws aren’t at least 3 inches long, replace them, and also upgrade both plates. (You may also want to use shorter screws if your sidelight windows are less than 3 inches from the doorjamb.) These longer screws will reinforce the doorjamb, which is a vulnerable spot.

Step 3: Invest in an amazing, high-quality home security products for even more effective door security. At theBulldog Bar we are dedicated to creating devices that not only enforce more effective door security ...but keep your family and valuables safer at your dwelling.

Minding your P's & Cues: 5 Cues You May Need Door Security Devices for Your Home

Did you know there are certain characteristics about a home that can make it more vulnerable to burglary than other households?

Here are 5 cues which could cause your residence to be a greater risk for a break-in:

1) Your house sits on a corner lot. Why? Because dwellings built on corner properties are more visible to crooks.

2) Your home is located close to a major highway exit. This can place you at greater risk for burglary because it creates a perfect scenario for an alleged crook to pretend he is lost, in order to stop at your residence and "ask for directions."


3) You house is situated on a "through street." This can be an ideal situation for criminals because "through streets" allow for a quicker escape after a break-in (compared to dead-end streets and cul de sacs).

4) Your 'castle' borders a wooded area or playground. These kinds of surroundings can provide hiding places for burglars, while they're either scoping out your home before breaking in, or leaving the scene of the crime they just committed.

5) Your home was recently purchased. New homeowners make great victims in the eyes of burglars, because they know you have not yet developed close familiarity with your neighbors.

At theBulldog Bar we are dedicated to keeping your family and your valuables out of harm's way.

That's why we create amazing, high-quality home security products ...to offer the best home security devices at an affordable price for families nationwide.

Back & Fort-ifying Yourself and Your Home Against Crime

Sometimes after you've done all the you think is possible to secure your home and yourself against crime and burglary ... you may, in the back of your mind, deeply feel you are only half-way to your goal because of something you may have missed..

In this case your next best plan or step is to form a self-protection plan. 

Although self-protection in itself is too large of a task to achieve ultimate protection, it could be narrowed down to fortifying your home and yourself against three main crimes (which are closely related to each other, since they are all committed within the confines of a victim's household).

The 1st crime to avoid is burglary when your house is unoccupied.

This incident is simply defined as the unauthorized entry into a residence or other building (with or without the use of force), accompanied by the the intent to commit theft or a felony.

This is considered as a property crime because of the usual intent to steal valuables which are not in the physical possession of another person/s.The use of force can make it a violent crime that could lead to physical injuries and sometimes death... 

So, we at theBulldog Bar suggest you not leave any kind of evidence that will advertise "nobody's home, folks!" 

The second type of crime you want to prevent from happening is burglary when you are at home. 

Most of these illegal events are intentionally committed when the perpetrator believes the house is empty, when it actually isn't.

Burglars will always try to avoid confrontation with home occupants typically because they are afraid of getting hurt or captured by law enforcement.

Since these break-ins are performed by crooks who are unarmed when they break in most of the time, they are typically known for only bringing with them the tools of their trade (like crowbars & lock-picking implements) without the intention of harming anyone. 


In short, don't forget to lock and double lock all your doors and windows... most specially your patio doors (and don't forget to include your bigger pet doors as well).

The third type of unfortunate incident theBulldog Bar Squad urges you to avoid is home invasion robbery .

This involves the use of threatening force to take valuables from persons while forcing their way inside... This can possibly result in a violent confrontation on your property, and has recently become a common way of robbery...especially in many communities of lower socioeconomic status.

The current downturn of the economy has reduced public funding of many city services, and that sometimes includes the reduction of law enforcement personnel like the police and other emergency responders.

As a matter of fact, response times to 911 calls have even suffered severely in many communities, allowing perpetrators of these types of crimes to take advantage of the situation.

The moral of the story? Your house could always be the next target in your neighborhood, but with the help of securing your front door with affordable home security products (like theBulldog Bar )...You will be better equipped to stop invaders from gaining access to your dwelling (or at least slow them down).

House-Broken: What to Do If Your House is Broken Into by a Burglar

Being an unfortunate victim of a home burglary can be both traumatizing as well financially devastating.

At The Bulldog Bar we want to ensure all homeowners (as well as household renters) know exactly what to do if a break-in happens to you.

With that being said, here are 4 helpful tips to follow if your house is broken into--

1) Don’t go into the house.
If you've already walked into your dwelling upon realizing a burglary has taken place, leave immediately. The thieves may still be inside, and it’s not worth your life to find out whether they are still on your property.

2) Call the police immediately from your cell phone or from a neighbor’s house. It's imperative to notify authorities right away about your current situation. And if the crooks are still in your home, there's a possibility the cops may arrive in time to catch them in the act.

3) Don’t touch anything.
Invaders may have left fingerprints or any other evidence (like instruments to break in or even footprints), which could be helpful in tracking down and/or prosecuting the criminals behind this caper.

4) Invest in an effective home security device to prevent break-ins from occurring in the future.
At The Bulldog Bar we specialize in amazing, high-quality residential protection products to keep you, your loved ones and your valuables safe from harm.

Staying on the Four-Front of Home Burglary Prevention

Looking for more ways to secure your home from break-ins? 

The Bulldog Bar Squad is here to help! 

Here are 4 helpful tips to assist you with your residential protection efforts:

1. Hide things of value, especially around areas like windows & glass doors.
You really wouldn't like to publicly display your 60" LED HDTV where everyone could see it from the street would you...? If your high-end electronics are visible from the outside, remember to always close your blinds & curtains when you're not utilizing your windows or doors for natural light inside your household.

2. Secure your patio doors.
Of all the doors in your entire house, your patio door will always be the one which has the least attention when it comes to locking up your dwelling. Take a proactive approach to improved home security by always locking these doors every time (especially when they're not in use).

3. Never advertise.
When you and your are family going out of town for several days (like a summer vacation), always observe the typical guidelines of stopping your mail, newspaper subscriptions and other deliveries so as not to make your humble abode appear as though nobody's home. The same thing applies with your answering machine-- Never leave a greeting on your home voice mail that says you are not home!

4. Always be prepared.
Never hesitate to install any backup systems, like pictures or videos of all your valuable items, home alarm decals/signs for your windows (even if they're not real), and powerful devices like The Bulldog Bar . Preparedness like this will always come in handy if a crook were to attempt entry into your humble abode. These types of strategies will also work in your favor, should you unfortunately be burglarized and need to file insurance claims.

With The Bulldog Bar you can be sure that your home and your loved ones are safe from harm, night after night. 

And with our 4 unique designs and 3 color options, you can't go wrong with its aesthetically pleasing appearance IN ADDITION to its power to keep "the bad guys" out of your home.
