Score how secure your home is from doors, locks, lighting and cameras, and see the cheapest fixes that help most.
How this works
Most break-ins come through a front, back or patio door, so solid doors with a grade 1 deadbolt or anti-snap cylinder carry the most points. Motion lights, visible cameras and an alarm deter casual burglars, and window locks and trimmed hedges remove easy cover. Each factor carries points out of 100.
