How does a Redman Get In?

34% Front Door

Many people are surprised at this statistic but yes, the majority of home break ins are usually committed by kicking in or forcing open the front door.

23% First Floor Windows

First floor windows are unfortunately number two on the list, and the shocking part is, many burglars gain access through unlocked windows!

22% Back Door

Back doors are kicked open less often than front doors. This is  probably because the intruder has a little more privacy, (concealed by fences, shrubs, etc.) and therefore time to jimmy open your lock.

9% Garage

Ironically, some burglars will use your own tools to break into your house!  Don't forget to add protection for your garage, in the event you have an alarm installed.

6% Other

Unlocked entrances and storage areas make up the final 6%. Don't forget to lock all of your doors and windows, even if you are only expecting to be out for a few minutes!

4% Basement

This statistic is surprisingly low, probably because there are many areas in which homes do not have basements, Here in Virginia for example.  So don't neglect adding security protection for your basement if you have one.

2% Are just unknown how entry was gained.
