SAFE AND SOUND! New home? Keep your valuables safe and sound with Burg-Wächter’s security kits
For rst time buyers, moving into their new home brings with it a lot of emotions. Excitement – of course – to be in a space you can truly call your own, maybe even relief that you’re nally there! However, in the whirlwind of a move, it’s all too easy to forget one important aspect – and that’s security – not only for your new home but for everything in it as well. With money often tight, a small investment in security can really pay off when it comes to protecting your property Kitted out for security! Helping to provide that all-important peace of mind, leading home security specialist, Burg-Wächter, is the new go-to with its range of easy-to-use security kits – including patio, BBQ, shed and garage kits – with everything you need to secure a host of valuable items all coming in one super-convenient box. And, even better we’re giving you the opportunity to win one of ve fantastic Burg-Wächter Garage Security Kits to help secure your stuff! Invest in security With research showing that one in four garage (or similar space) owners have had items stolen, upgrading your security in this area is a wise idea. Aside from cars, garages can store bikes, lawnmowers and garden furniture that may prove too tempting for an opportunist thief. And while the garage door provides some protection, it doesn’t offer the comprehensive security that can be achieved by locking valuable items together with a lock and chain to a sturdy anchor point. With this sort of protection, even if they make it inside, it’s going to take a lot more time and effort to remove your belongings. Police-approved security The products in the Burg-Wächter’s Garage Security Kit are independently tested by Sold Secure, part of
the Master Locksmiths Association in the UK, and are additionally approved by Secured by Design, the of cial police initiative that works to improve security through good product design. These are important accreditations that prove products are tested to offer a real level of security. What’s in the kit? The Burg-Wächter Garage Security Kit is a comprehensive four-piece kit that provides everything you need for complete peace of mind: • Sold Secure tested and approved wall and ground anchor This extra-strong solid plate steel anchor makes the ideal point to thread chain or security cables through. Whether xed to the wall or to the ground, anti-tamper xings ensure that, once installed, this anchor isn’t moving! • Extra-long heavy-duty Sold Secure approved chain With hardened 10mm diameter chain links that resist cutting and cropping, this chain allows multiple items to be secured together thanks to the extra reach afforded by its unusually long 3m length – both secure and convenient. • Sold Secure approved U-Lock This sturdy, police-approved U-bolt features a hardened steel shackle and body, meaning that trying to cut through it is going to be hard work for a would-be thief. In addition, the shackle is completely removable from the body of the lock, allowing it to be easily threaded through the chain to lock the ends together. • Battery operated PIR alarm The nal piece of equipment included in the Garage Security Kit is a PIR alarm. Easily activated using one of two supplied infrared remotes, as soon as any motion is detected, a 100dB alarm sounds to alert you or your neighbours that there's an unwanted intruder.
