Your Guide to Window & Door Security An ASSA ABLOY Group brand
Securing your home This booklet has been designed with you in mind and answers the simple question of What locks should I put where? when you re thinking about door and window security for your home. Burglaries do not occur by chance Research (and sometimes personal experience) tells us that the majority of burglaries are committed by the amateur burglar who looks for an easy opportunity. Good quality locks on doors and windows make it harder for burglars to enter your home and prevent thieves from leaving other than by the way they entered. This minimises items that can be stolen as it is very difficult to carry bulky items. Even a professional may move on rather than spend too much time or make too much noise trying to break into a home protected by quality security products. Practical ways to protect your home and possessions Acting on the following three steps will be enough to deter most burglars: - Install double cylinder deadlocks or deadlatches on all external doors - Install key operated window locks on all windows - Install three-point deadlocking locks on all security screen doors Additional security For additional security tips and a handy going away checklist please refer to the inside back cover of this booklet or visit the Whitco website at www.whitco.com.au Door and Window Security 2 An ASSA ABLOY Group brand
CYL4 One Key Security convenience CYL4 is a patented innovation that allows ASSA ABLOY window locks and patio bolts to be keyed to door locks that use the most common key type (C4), thus providing customers with the added convenience of having to use only one key around the home. Most Australian door locks are operated by a C4 key. Traditional window locks are incompatible with a C4 key. Therefore homeowners are required to carry at least one key for their door locks, and a different key (or keys) for their window locks. The introduction of ASSA ABLOY s unique CYL4 technology has revolutionised home locking security. Our new high security window lock and patio bolt ranges incorporate the patented CYL4 cylinder which is quickly and easily keyed alike to your customer s 5 pin C4 door key. Products displaying this logo feature the innovative CYL4 technology and can be keyed alike to door locks and other CYL4 products in your home. These products use the C4 key type, which can now be used to operate CYL4 window and patio bolt products. www.whitco.com.au An ASSA ABLOY Group brand 3

Additional Tips Always lock your house when you leave, even if you are only going to be away for a few minutes. Install a door viewer so you can check who is at the door before you open it. Check service provider s credentials before letting them in. Take photos of your valuables and use a safe for jewellery and other important possessions. Keep valuable hardware and recreational equipment in padlocked sheds and garages. Keep shrubs and trees around the house well pruned so as not to provide cover for a burglar. Have locks or cylinders changed when you move into a new property or when keys are lost. Use padlocks on gates, garages, letterboxes and sheds. Install exterior sensor lighting, an internal alarm or hinged window grilles for additional protection. Join your local Neighbourhood Watch programme.
