Windows: A third of burglars get in through a window.


Doors: Two thirds of burglars gain entry through a door.


Fencing: The type of fencing, hedging or walls around a property can attract or deter thieves. A low or sagging fence, or a back gate with a weak lock could provide easy access. But a thorny hedge or trellising on walls could put burglars off.


Garages: It is important to make sure garages and sheds are secure as they may contain tools which actually help burglars gain entry to the main house. Ladders, for example, should be locked up. Valuable items, if not locked in a secure cupboard should also be visibly and permanently marked.

There are different types of security alarms available: audible-only alarm (which sets off a siren or bell) or a monitored alarm (connected to a central “listening” service).

Why Fire Alarms Are Essential for Both Homes and Businesses

September 13, 2025
When people think of security, burglar alarms and surveillance cameras often come to mind first. But there’s another equally important line of defense that is often overlooked: fire alarms. Fires can devastate a home or business in minutes, and often the difference between minor damage and total loss comes down to early detection. That’s why fire alarm systems are not only recommended—they’re essential.  At Progressive Technology Security Systems (PTSS) , a family-owned company with over 38 years of service in San Diego County, fire safety has always been at the heart of what we do. With our community facing unique risks—from wildfire seasons to the everyday hazards of electrical failures—having a reliable fire alarm system isn’t just about code compliance. It’s about protecting lives, property, and peace of mind.
