What are the weaknesses of single-family homes or apartment buildings?
In single-family homes, 80% of forced entries are through patio or balcony doors and windows. In apartment buildings the apartment entrance door is the most vulnerable point and accounts for more than 50% of cases.
Overall, most burglaries occurred in apartment buildings. Roughly one third of burglaries in apartment buildings are on the ground floor, and the rest are in the storeys above. The most vulnerable points are the house entrance and apartment entrance doors. Once inside the building, a burglar can access apartments on all storeys.
