Home Security: How To Select Reliable Locks And Alarms For Your Home, Office, Or Car

Rating:
Summary: Comprehensive Resource; Maybe too Comprehensive!
Review: This book goes into great detail on everything from types of alarm sensors to how locks are picked. I wouldn't advise reading this book straight through; you would be better served to use it as a resource to explore specific areas of interest. I think the most useful chapter is the one that covers how burglars break into homes. It covers the bad guy's tactics and what you can do to thwart them. This chapter alone is worth the price of the book and I personally found it very useful in making decisions in the construction of my home security system.
