NATIONAL HOME SECURITY MONTH FROM YALE IS BACK TO BOOST SECURITY SALES THIS AUTUMN
» NATIONAL HOME SECURITY MONTH ( NHSM ) from Yale is back from 1st October , with the campaign in its twelfth year of encouraging UK homeowners to upgrade their home security .
When the clocks go back , crime goes up by as much as 34 % as opportunist burglars make use of the darker nights . NHSM runs throughout October , raising awareness of the need to prioritise home security as we head into the colder months .
The first line of defence for homeowners is the front door . One of the easiest and most effective ways to secure it is to invest in a maximumsecurity cylinder that will prevent locksnapping – one of the most common techniques used by criminals . Solutions with the TS007 BSI Kitemark and threestar protection , such as the Yale Platinum 3-Star Cylinder , do exactly this .
Another common entry point is through the window , meaning window security should also be a high priority . Window handles such as Yale ’ s TS007 2-star security handle provide the highest level of security available , and when combined with a 1-Star Cylinder , offer the ultimate protection against a range of known attack methods .
Allowing users to monitor their homes remotely , high-quality smart security solutions also offer powerful protection
against the threat of opportunistic burglars . Yale SensCheck™ integrated smart window and door lock sensors , for example , provide homeowners with the option to check the status of their doors and windows on their smart devices and phones , wherever they are .
Yale has also recently announced the launch of its new Smart Security Ecosystem , designed to provide trade professionals with a range of devices to suit all customer needs , providing seamless integration and heightened security for homeowners . The Smart Security Ecosystem includes new Smart Security Cameras , one camera for indoor security protection and one for outdoor use , and for additional front door protection , the inclusion of the new Smart Video Doorbell .
Karl Woolley , Head of Product Management , Yale Retail UK , comments : “ Raising awareness of home security vulnerabilities at this time of year continues to be hugely important , and the reason why we created the National Home Security Month campaign in 2013 .
“ After 12 years , NHSM is back once again to make homeowners aware of the current threats , providing advice , support and product recommendations to encourage a necessary home security upgrade . This provides a fantastic opportunity for merchants and trade professionals to benefit from increased demand and therefore sales during this profitable autumn , winter period .”
