Security recommendations
Physical security in conjunction with Banham
This guide gives you an overview of our comprehensive product range

Statistics prove that by taking quite simple, relatively inexpensive precautions you can deter the would-be intruder(s), the majority of whom are opportunistic sneak-thieves. It is of course necessary to take extra precautions to keep out the professional burglar but remember that security buys you time, something the intruder does not have. The list below will help you to decide what steps you need to take to protect your premises.

ELECTRONIC SECURITY

INTRUDER ALARMS - the installation of a simple intruder alarm with the deterrent value of a strategically located external siren cover bearing the CAPSTAN name, with pulsing lights incorporated to provide clear indication of a live and fully functional system. Designed and installed to be fully compliant with ACPO DD243:2002 and European Standard BS EN 50131-1:1997 for Intruder Alarm installations.

FIRE ALARMS - Either stand alone alarm designed and installed to comply with BS5839:1995 and European Standard EN54 or fixed detection devices simply connected into your intruder alarm system.

PHYSICAL SECURITY

SIDE & BACK DOORS - fit a 5,6 or 7 lever BS3621 mortice lock together with top and bottom security bolts.
