Walk around the property: main door, accessible windows, garage and secondary entrances. Identify faulty closures and anything that prevents normal locking.
Use simple habits
Close and lock entrances according to their design, even for a short absence. Do not hide a key near the door or publicly announce that the property is empty. Agree key management with authorised users.
Have weak components assessed
Assess the door together with its frame, fixings, hinges and lock. Request a review of the assembly before choosing a cylinder or reinforcement. Additional equipment must remain compatible and allow safe operation.
Use prevention advice
BeSafe describes burglary prevention measures and theft prevention advisers. This advice helps prioritise improvements for the property. An alarm can complement physical closures; no individual device guarantees that a burglary will not happen.

If you discover suspicious damage
Do not enter if someone may still be inside. Get to safety and call the police in an emergency. Preserve the scene for their examination, then arrange repairs. For possible reimbursement, follow your insurance policy’s procedure and requirements.
