Burglary protection - Upgrade windows from WK2 to WK3 - Alarm system?

I hope you don't seriously mean using a jigsaw. You can try cutting a 20cm thick solid wood board with a jigsaw. But first, try [Porenbeton] for comparison. Use a handsaw for that. As I said, I’m not trying to convince anyone, I just know that burglars didn’t get in here, despite a hammer and crowbar.

Well. It can't be very convincing either. Especially from someone whose house you can quickly retrofit with a side entrance door using a jigsaw.

That would now interest me purely out of curiosity. Is it really that easy with a timber-framed house? The exterior plaster is probably only a few millimeters thick, can you just break it open at a spot where there is insulation in between and no wooden beam all the way to the insulation level? And then it's only 2 layers of drywall? Edit: Blockhauspower does have a... log cabin... I meant, for example, a prefabricated house...

Two layers of drywall certainly won’t be hard to overcome, I think. But I’m not a break-in expert.

It can still happen. It’s never too late

You don't seriously mean the jigsaw, do you? You can try cutting a 20cm thick solid wood board with a jigsaw. But try aerated concrete first, for comparison. Use a handsaw for that.

As I said, I'm not trying to convince anyone, I just know that burglars haven't gotten in here despite hammer and crowbar.

Well. Burglars aren't what they used to be either. I'll wait a few more years with hand sawing until mold and rot have gnawed away. Until then, I rely on cordless tools.

We build enclosures for generators for government institutions, among other things, with very high security levels and also test them. The preferred tool: the cordless angle grinder. Maybe junkies still go at it with hammer and crowbar.

You can't really protect yourself effectively anyway. But it's enough to be "better" than the neighbor... as has already been said.

Hello,

I haven’t read everything, but here’s a report about us.

In our new building, still under construction, someone tried to break in on a Sunday. The door was scratched, but they didn’t get in, 7-point locking system and protection for drills and lock picks on the keyhole. Then they tried on the side window with a rod or something similar, but failed at the fittings. Then they stole a 30 cm rain pipe. ^^

Two days later, they tried to smash the window. We have P4A glazing, which cost 2500 euros for the entire ground floor. Two panes of the triple glazing were broken, but they failed on the third. You can clearly see at one corner that the glass was struck multiple times with a hammer or another object.

Our house withstood these attempts. I can therefore only recommend the reinforced glazing.

Still annoying, twice 250 euro deductible :-(

In general, besides the alarm system, we also have two cameras, but these are not installed yet.
