Younger homeowners more security conscious than over 55s
New research reveals that younger homeowners are more security conscious than those over the age of 55 .
»»
THE RESEARCH , CONDUCTED BY HOPPE UK , has shown that three quarters of homeowners aged 18-34 worry about their home security more as the clocks go back . Considerably less homeowners over the age of 65 share these concerns , with 60 % of respondents saying they don ’ t worry more during the winter months .
Just under two thirds of respondents aged 18-34 know the security standard of their front and back door handles compared to only half of homeowners over the age of 65 , further emphasising younger homeowners ’ increased awareness of security .
However , all respondents identified their front door as their first priority if they were looking to improve their home security .
The security of any entrance door can be improved instantly using the HOPPE Atlanta security handle set . It ’ s designed to protect the locking cylinder against extraction and has passed cylinder and door hardware attack tests to deliver enhanced security performance and a greater level of property protection .
Suitable for use on composite and PVC doors , the Atlanta security handle has been tested Annex A of PAS24 ; the minimum standard set by British Standards Institution ( BSI ). PAS24 accredited hardware helps homeowners to resist the levels and methods of attack that are usually associated with the casual or opportunist burglar .
