Exterior basement doors and windows are easily forgotten, when it comes to, to protect the house from burglary. But it is precisely here that burglars have an easy time, because mostly simple quality has been installed. In addition, doors and windows are relatively hidden from view in light shafts and on stairs below ground level.
A A so-called armored bolt, as it is also used for front doors, optimally secures the outer cellar door. Provided, Hinges and locking plate are anchored in the masonry to prevent burglary. For doors with windows, the bolt must have a cylinder lock (here for example Abus PR 1500, about 150 Euro). Riegel, which can be unlocked again at the push of a button, could easily be opened with a broken window! B Basement windows of a simple design should at least have a “mouse screen”., firmly attached to the frame. Here, too, the frame must be anchored in the masonry. The grilles are burglar-resistant, provided they are locked from the inside with a padlock, for example. C Gratings on light shafts can be secured against being lifted off using simple safety rods or chains (here with Abus GS 40, round 37 Euro). The fuses must be mounted in pairs and have a lock cover.
