- Minutes of meeting held on 16TH January 2012
Order:Noted
- Garda presentation regarding Burglaries
Order: Gardai gave a comprehensive presentation on burglaries and how best to prevent them. Most intruders entering a property will either enter
through a door or a window.
The front access door to any home should be fitted,
where possible and appropriate, with the following additional
security features -
• Door Viewer, which should be wide-angled, that
will allow the occupant to identify callers before
the door is opened.
• Door Chain or Limiter which allows the occupant
to restrict the complete opening of the door
until desired.
• Hinge Bolts which will strengthen the door
against forced entry.
• Letter Tray/Restrictor
Patio doors are generally either sliding or double leaf
“French Doors” - sometimes known as “French Windows”.
. Approved anti-liftdevices should be fitted.
Security bars fitted internally, which will prevent the
doors being parted even if the locking mechanism is
forced, are also strongly recommended.
‘Shoot Bolts’ or ‘Sliding Bolts’, whichever is appropriate,
may also be fitted to reinforce security in both Patio and
French doors.
