Our homes are our refuge, our place of comfort, our safe place; or so they should be. Unfortunately, we live in a country in which the high crime rate makes us vulnerable, even in our homes. High walls, electric fences, intercom systems, CCTV, alarms and armed response, security gates and burglar bars are all too familiar in our neighbourhoods. We shut, hide and lock ourselves away from the threat of danger and loss in an attempt to make ourselves and our loved ones as safe as possible.
Our homes are not only our safe places, but they are also the places in which we express our style and visualise our personalities. Often this style lies hidden behind wall spikes, heavy remote controlled gates, thick burglar bars and heavy solid doors, only to be revealed to a special few. This is a far cry from the friendly white picket fence and happy garden with a welcoming pathway that we dreamed of while growing up, it is, however, our reality.
Thankfully home security products have come a long way, they do not need to be ugly, heavy and foreboding barriers to the outside world. Clever design and technology have negated the need to compromise style for security and more and more products are satisfying both.
