What are you trying to protect?

What the data actually says

  • We're not going to tell you a burglary happens every 26 seconds. That figure is from 2019 and burglary has fallen a long way since. The FBI recorded 779,542 burglaries in 2024 — roughly one every 40 seconds, and about half were residential.
  • Still worth acting on. Not worth panicking about.

  • 34%

    Break-ins that come through the front door — more than any other single entry point.

    Secure the front door 

  • More by day than night

    216,601 daytime residential burglaries in 2024 against 174,053 at night. Burglars want an empty house, not a dark one.

    Look occupied 

  • ~38%

    Unlawful entries involving no force at all — usually a door left unlocked or a window left open. No tools required.

How we do this differently

  • 01 — No app, no account

    Peel, screw or wedge. Works during a power cut and a WiFi outage.

  • 02 — We tell you what it won't do

    A door bar adds seconds and noise. It won't stop a determined attacker. Anyone claiming otherwise is selling you something.

  • 03 — Installed by you, tonight

    No technician, no appointment, no stranger in your home.

  • 04 — Layered, not oversold

    One product doesn't secure a house. We'll tell you the order to do it in.

  • 05 — Renters welcome

    Most of what we sell leaves no marks and comes with you when you move.

  • 06 — Free shipping, 30-day returns

    If it doesn't make you feel better, send it back.

  • 07 — Plain pricing

    No countdown timers. No fake discounts. No urgency we invented.

  • 08 — Real support

    A person who'll tell you if you don't need the thing you're about to buy.

  • 09 — Honest sources

    Our numbers come from FBI Crime in the United States, 2024. We cite them so you can check.

Some things you can do yourself. Some things need someone on the other end.

A door bar wakes you up. An alarm makes noise. Neither one calls anybody.
