As of September 2024, there are about 15 apartment burglaries every day, according to the head of the Main Directorate of the National Police in Kyiv, Ivan Vygivsky. And this figure is growing every year. One of the last cases where our technician came with a client's complaint about a broken lock and a locked door: they arrived, confirmed that the owner of the apartment was in front of us, but after examining the lock, it was clear that it was locked from the back with the key in the door

in such cases, the masters have a reflexive distrust of the client, since in our experience, people who cannot divide property that, for example, they inherited often do not tell you that they may have a legal dispute with a relative and every day they play the game of "who will run to the apartment faster" to open and install a new lock, the next day the opposite side of the conflict does the same until both understand that this game can be played endlessly (we will share the experience of these cases in a separate article), and in our case it turned out that the burglar who opened the door left the key in the lock so that he would not be caught off guard by the owner of the apartment with the police, then briefly: it played a role that the master arrived promptly, the burglar heard this and jumped out the window from the second floor where he was detained by law enforcement agencies ... This is a short story with a Happy Ending, but not everyone is like that, even after years of searching for the criminal and even after pimka, it is not a fact that everything will be up to pennies will return (rather the opposite) think about it! In our opinion, working with the doors of Kiev residents every day in 70% of cases, protection on a 10-point scale is 2-3, that is, they are very vulnerable to such cases

"You have to pay for security, and you will pay for its absence"

Winston Churchill

Then the good news is that of these 70%, about 65% can be made inaccessible to apartment burglaries and breaking in through comprehensive modernization and the first thing you need to start with is establishing warm relations with your neighbors! We are sure that you know how to do this better than us. The second is a call to our company for an initial consultation by phone where we will ask you to take a photo of the door and then we will help you do everything necessary to ensure that only you have access to your home! The price of upgrading a door is a secondary and very individual issue, there are many factors, I will only say that it is often cheaper than you imagine, since we have many years of experience that allows us to provide security solutions that are not freely available, plus we work directly with lock suppliers

Third: in our opinion, the protection of the premises should be comprehensive! Order the services of a security company, with opening sensors not only on the door but also on the windows.

Fourth: You are lucky if you are a fan of large breeds of dogs ;-)

Fifth: change the code mechanisms if you do not know or cannot find duplicates of the key you use. Most often, there should be 5 of them in a set with a new lock, less often 3 pcs, as in the case of the Israeli manufacturer Mul-t-lock
