Semester 1 ASSIGNMENT 2


QUESTION 1. Ten primary security weaknesses in a home and measures to
minimise risk


1) Unsecured entry doors (poor locks, weak frames)
- Measure: install solid core doors, high-quality deadbolts (ANSI Grade 1 or 2),
reinforced strike plates, door jamb reinforcement, and internal doors with good
hinges.


2) Unsecured or easily opened windows
- Measure: window locks on all ground-floor and accessible windows; security film or
laminated glass; consider window sensors or alarms.


3) Inadequate or unprotected garage entry (door to house, internal door from
garage)
- Measure: reinforce the door from garage to house; use a solid core internal door
with a deadbolt; ensure the garage door has proper safety/locking mechanisms; add
motion sensors on the garage area.


4) Poor exterior lighting
- Measure: install bright, vandal-resistant, motion-activated exterior lights at all entry
points; ensure lighting covers approach routes and pathways.


5) Lack of an alarm system or CCTV coverage
- Measure: install a monitored home alarm with door/window sensors; place visible
CCTV cameras with recording and remote access; ensure tamper alerts are active.


6) Valuables visible from outside
- Measure: use curtains/blinds; store valuable items in a safe; use a safe or bolted
storage; relocate high-value items away from windows.
