With the level of violence and home invasions, crime is on the rise in Perth with drugs being one of the biggest contributing factors and it seems our courts and politicians are doing little more then lip service to discourage the criminals. We need to look for ways to make you feel safe in your home but, with the number of so called security companies in Perth and with a good number of them changing hands regularly or going broke some selling substandard products some passing products off as security when they have never been tested or hold an Australian Standards test. Other companies sell other companies products and rely on the say so that the product has passed without taking the time to have the products passed themselves.

Darren Teale has five years experience installing security products and ten years as a Security Consultant. In his roll as a consultant Darren has been involved with testing a lot of security doors and screens at Perth's Curtin University and has first hand knowledge of what it takes to develop a product to better the Australian standards.

An Insight in Home Security:

One of the biggest mistakes made by many sales people within the security is they never look past selling the products the company they work for has to offer and in many case want a sale at all cost. When it comes to home security many factors determine whether the product your looking at is suitable or not. As we all have different life styles and how and when we come and go, the pets we own, how we keep our garden, do we live in a 4x2 in the suburbs or a one bedroom apartment in the city, does your work habits change like a revolving roster of some shift-works or do you work away for weeks at a time, all these things should be raised with or by anyone advising you on security and your own personal needs when it comes to your home security.

Blinds, Awnings and Roller Shutters:

Although Darren Teale is an industry expert specializing in security. Darren has Westral Home Improvements range of blinds, awnings and roller shutters, proper use of these blinds can help add to your home security.
