Helpful Advice On Jeweller Insurance Coverage

Having secured premises as best you can, it is now important that measures be put in place to make it as difficult for the Burglars to steal your goods. Or at least limit their ability to be able to able to steal all your stock. Some helpful hints include inter alia:

Alarms – install a top-quality alarm system, preferably a dedicated Landline, Mobile system, Digital Dialler or a smoke alarm system? Make sure you have enough sensors to cover all your premises. Ensure your system has window detectors, which will activate the alarm prior to entry. Consider a second alarm code otherwise know as a security code.
Panic buttons - ensure you have hold up or panic buttons (fixed but preferable portable) – these can be beneficial in the event of an armed hold up during business hours.
CCTV footage – won’t prevent armed hold ups or break & entry but they may lead to apprehension. Install a comprehensive digital surveillance system with enough cameras that provide 100% coverage internally. Additionally, have appropriate external cameras that operate effectively at night. Storage time is also an important consideration.
Safe(s) – ensure you have a good quality safe that meets Australian standards. Safes can vary in quality & if you are looking to upgrade your security consider the following matters:
Strongroom(s) if you have a strongroom make sure it has been constructed in accordance with Australian standards & appropriate locks are installed on the entry door.
Showcases – consider the type of glass & its thickness, eg: Plate glass, Laminated or covered with security film, Bandit proof glass. During operating hours, ensure showcases are locked with keys being removed.

Is your safe connected to your security Alarm system.
Does your safe have door contacts.
Sensors – do you have seismic or vibration sensors.
Is your safe fitted with time delay locks.
Is your safe torch & drill resistant?

If your store is located within a fully enclosed shopping complex with no exposed walls, you may not need to install an alarm or a CCTV system if the complex has its own security. However, where this is not the case, steps you can take to prevent or delay entry include inter alia:

Cover all exposed areas (doors & windows) with either Electronic roller shutters, Steel bars grills. Security film with attachments over display windows may prevent entry or at least delay entry.
Bollards are a good option if you are exposed to ram raids.
Double Door Interlocking Mantraps may be an option.
Even though you may have exposed doors protected by roller shutters or similar, it is still important to have good quality locks on doors as well as an anti-jemmy bars. Key operated locks strategically located at the top & bottom of all doors will also provide added protection.
