Bust common myths about home security. Learn how secure windows and doors from GFD Homes protect your property day and night.

When it comes to home security, myths are dangerous. Many homeowners believe burglars only strike at night, alarms alone are enough, or that a “safe” postcode keeps them protected. The truth is very different — and it’s your windows and doors that make the biggest difference.
Research shows most break-ins happen quickly, often in broad daylight when families are out. Around 64% of burglaries even occur while someone is at home, with intruders exploiting unlocked or outdated entry points. That’s why secure, modern windows and doors are your first and most important line of defence.
At GFD Homes, we supply composite doors, sliding patio doors, bifolds, and aluminium windows designed with security at their core. Features like Ultion 3-star locks, PAS 24 testing, Secured by Design accreditation, laminated glass, and multi-point locking ensure your home isn’t an easy target. Unlike alarms that only react after entry, these physical barriers stop burglars before they ever get inside.
The lesson is simple: don’t rely on myths. By upgrading your windows and doors, you’re investing in real protection — and the priceless peace of mind that comes with it.
