How to Decrease the Rate of Theft at Your Business Premises
Practical ways to make your business harder to break into, starting with your doors and locks.
Theft and vandalism are among the biggest worries for business owners, especially in retail. Many break-ins can be prevented, and your doors are the place to start.
Invest in Quality Doors
Your doors are the main way into your building, so they need to be strong and working properly. We supply and install retail, storefront, security, fire-rated, metal and wood commercial doors with features such as reinforced frames, continuous hinges and high-security hardware. Not sure which suits you? Ask us.
Upgrade Your Locks
Locks are your first line of defence against theft and vandalism. We repair and upgrade commercial door locks, deadlatches, electric strikes and access control, and we can review your doors and recommend improvements.
Repair Faulty Doors Promptly
Doors need regular maintenance and repair, whether from everyday wear or damage. Call for commercial door repair if your door is:
- Warped, or jamming often
- Damaged by water or weather
- Cracked, or has a broken frame or glass
- Hard to open, close or lock
If repair isn't worthwhile, upgrade the door. Even small problems can put your security and operations at risk.
Choose the Right Door for Your Business
A boutique, a coffee shop and a warehouse all need different doors. Choose a door that suits how your business works, from full-glass storefronts with security film to steel rear doors and rolling security grilles.
Other Ways to Deter Thieves
- Light entrances, loading doors and parking areas at night.
- Install a monitored alarm and visible security cameras.
- Keep keys, codes and remotes under control, and re-key when staff leave.
- Don't leave cash or valuable stock visible from the street after hours.
