LA Crime Stats

By Lori Melton

Per Los Angeles Police Department statistics, there were 3,753 property crimes in 2017, with 603 of those crimes being burglaries. In the period from Dec. 17, 2017 to Jan. 13, 2018 exactly 1,155 burglaries occurred. A 2016 LA Times report found a four percent rise in property crimes for the third consecutive year and property crimes in area's policed by the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department increased by six percent. While some areas have experienced a drop in crime rates, burglaries remain a problem in the Los Angeles area.

Enhancing home security remains a vital way for homeowners to protect themselves and their homes from unwanted burglaries. In targeting homes for break-ins, thieves look for vulnerable entry points and homes that carry the least risk of being caught. Therefore, every extra security measure taken by a homeowner is an important step toward theft prevention. Installing Crimsafe Security Doors can boost burglary protection and help keep your family and valuables safe.

How Crimsafe Security Doors Work

Wynstan understands that protecting your loved ones is top priority and their Crimsafe Regular Security Doors feature the company's unique Crimsafe Tensil Tuff Security Mesh, which is made of 304 Grade Stainless Steel and is 26.5 percent thicker than other similar products at a cross-section. Therefore, the mesh cannot be cut, kicked in or pried loose. Crimsafe Security Doors also feature the Crimsafe Mesh Clamp System in which the mesh is sandwiched between two serrated pieces of aluminum and then screwed into place. This gives much stronger resistance to force than many competing products.

Enhancing Security Without Compromising Style

Burglar bars are ugly and can detract from your home's curb appeal. This isn't the case with Crimsafe Security Doors, they're both stylish and versatile. You can keep aggravating insects out while allowing good outside airflow. Plus, the doors are designed to be aesthetically pleasing to easily blend with your home's style. Crimsafe Security Doors can be hinged, folding or bi-fold to cover almost any doorway. The Crimsafe Security Bi-fold doors are perfect for indoor/outdoor use on patio and terrace entryways. Crimsafe doors also come in a wide range of colors in shades of white, gray, brown and blue, as well as a woodgrain option. Plus, Crimsafe Mesh is corrosion resistant which makes it easy to clean and maintain a 65-year lifespan.

Peace of Mind is Priceless

Living in high-crime areas or feeling vulnerable against home invasion can generate all sorts of anxiety, worry, and stress. Vulnerable front doors and unprotected patio doors and verandas are often hidden from street view at the back of a home, which make them desirable entry targets for determined thieves. Therefore, having peace of mind and the added protection Crimsafe Security Doors bring to your home is priceless. In addition to the Tensile Tuff Security Mesh and the Mesh Clamp System, the bi-fold doors feature a head-to-sill intermediate locking system for added strength.
