Holiday shopping is in full swing, which means it’s time to take extra security measures to protect your inventory, employees, and customers. Whether you have large storefront windows in a shopping center or a standalone building with one way for entering and exiting, take the following extra precautions to help deter criminals.

3 Ways to Protect Your Glass Storefront

1. Install Motion-Activated Light Sensors 

Keeping your store well-lit at night will ensure security cameras get a clear picture of what’s happening, plus it will deter any burglars who doesn’t want to be seen. A more energy-efficient and just as effective method is to install motion-activated sensors that turn the lights on when someone passes by.

2. Fortify the Glass

A glass window and door may look like an easy, breakable target for criminals. Add a film that makes it difficult to break the glass to thwart smash-and-grab scenarios. You may want to install roll-down grates in or outside of your storefront for additional deterrence.

3. Put Bollards Out Front

If your storefront faces the street, put up bollards along the sidewalk or in front of the building to protect your windows from a forced vehicle entry. These posts are wide enough for people to walk through but too narrow for cars. You can turn them into permanent billboards or signage holders during the holiday season as well.
