The importance of burglar-proofing a home cannot be overstated in a country like South Africa, where crime rates are high and security is a major concern for homeowners.
Without standard security to deter intruders, an alarm system is useless.
Reynaers Aluminium’s burglar proof window and door systems provide the peace of mind that homeowners need, knowing that their properties are protected against break-ins and intrusions, all while offering the aesthetics, comfort and performance expected of a high quality European brand.
As a homeowner, I can confidently say that Reynaers’ window and door systems are an excellent choice for properties vulnerable to crime in South Africa. How -you ask? Reynaers Aluminium achieves its burglarproof ratings through a combination of innovative design, advanced manufacturing techniques, and high-quality materials.
One of the key features of Reynaers Aluminium’s burglar proof rating is the use of reinforced profiles. These profiles are made using a combination of aluminium and other materials, to create a stronger, more durable product. These reinforced profiles are designed to withstand the force of an attempted break-in, making it much more difficult for intruders to gain entry to a property. Moreover, hardware is fitted with an anti-drill plate and an anti-lift device, making it almost impossible for thieves to drill the lock or break open the window using a crowbar.
In addition to reinforced profiles, Reynaers Aluminium also incorporates additional hinges, advanced locking systems and a deadbolt into their window and door systems. These multi-point locking systems are designed to be both highly secure and easy to use, providing homeowners with peace of mind and convenience.
However, today’s architectural styles do tend to rely heavily on large panes of glass with minimal aluminium, it would not be incorrect to assume that intruders could simply smash through glass, thereby nullifying the burglar proof features of the aluminium frames – right? …This really depends on the glass used, its thickness, treatment and whether it’s double glazed or not. By using a safety glass and special glazing beads, safety is enormously improved in these elements coupled with Reynaers Aluminium’s burglar proof features, making the opening envelopes more resistant to breakage and intrusion.
Magnetic Contacts seamlessly integrated into Reynaers systems can also be connected to an alarm system which is triggered by an interruption to the reed-contact. Further safeguards ensure that the position of a window can only be changed if it’s closed first. Thereby leaving pesky thieves out in the cold…
It’s reassuring to know that Reynaers’ products are rigorously tested for break-ins utilizing a wide range of tools & techniques to ensure that they meet or exceed industry standards for security, making them an ideal choice for properties in high-crime areas and ensuring that they will provide years of reliable service and protection. Divided into different burglary classes, an element with resistance class RC2 offers much lower resistance against a physical attack than a door with class RC6. Reynaers produce burglar-resistant security doors according to EN norms in the resistance classes RC2 – RC3 and offer supplementary solutions up to RC4.
In closing, Reynaers Aluminium’s products are an excellent investment for any homeowner looking to enhance their home’s security without the need for bulky obstructions to the outside world. With the confidence of their burglar proof ratings achieved through a combination of innovative design, advanced manufacturing techniques, and high-quality materials, these fenestration systems are a perfect fit for the South African market, where security is a major concern.
