National Home Security Month with APECS

October is National Security Month: Why Your Locks Matter More Than You Think

October marks the beginning of National Security Month, a time to reflect on the importance of securing your home and personal belongings. While locks are often one of the last things people consider when building or renovating their dream home, they are actually your first line of defence against burglaries and unwanted visitors.

According to the Office for National Statistics (ONS):

• 69% of incidents occur during the week, most often in the evening.
• The front door is the most common point of entry, with incidents increasing over the last decade, while access through the back door has decreased to around 26%.
• Overall, 77% of burglars gain access through a door.

These figures highlight a simple truth: your door security is vital. And the type of lock you choose plays a huge role in protecting your home.
