How to Secure the 3 Most Vulnerable Business Entryways

Posted on October 28, 2020

As a local business owner, your business is your pride and joy. The last thing you want is for a burglar to break in and pillage the fruits of your hard work. 

Unfortunately, every building has its vulnerabilities, and three of them are common access points that are easy to break into without proper security measures. Here’s a look at the three weakest points of your building and how a security business can help protect your business.

Front Entrance

The front entrance to your property is one of the most vulnerable aspects of your building. It’s the entryway that is out on full display and is the most easily accessible to burglars day or night.

One of the biggest mistakes you could make as a business owner is to poorly secure this area of your building. You want your main entrances secured and monitored 24/7, especially when you aren’t around. 

Fortunately, there are several ways you can guarantee your front entrance stays secure:

  • Upgraded surveillance cameras can easily and accurately track who comes in and out of your building at all hours of the day.
  • Access control systems give you full control over when your employees and customers can enter the building. This option is more secure than the standard lock and key

Back Entrance

Your back entrance may be a place for “employees only,” but thieves know that this area is one that is seldom guarded by excess security measures. A standard lock can easily be picked, and access to your valuables is imminent. 

Access control and surveillance cameras are two great things to utilize in this area. However, they aren’t the only security measures you could take. Motion sensor lights are one way to help illuminate the scene when someone enters the area. This way, if a break-in does occur, your building’s surveillance cameras will have an increased chance of identifying the culprit and getting the authorities on the right track to helping your business. 

Property Windows

Finally, the windows of your property are the single most vulnerable entry point to your building. Glass breaks easily, and a burglar with the intent to get in and get out fast, doesn’t have qualms about making a mess. 

With this situation as a risk, it’s always best to be prepared. A commercial alarm system can help keep tabs on the action that occurs inside of your building’s back entrance after hours. If anything goes awry, your remote alarm system will alert you and us. This allows for a swift response to the scene of the crime and could prevent you from experiencing a crippling loss.
