The burglary patterns we see in Amsterdam
Cylinder pulling on cheap cylinders, letterbox fishing in old canal-belt portals, prying open back doors in Nieuw-West and Zuidoost, and lifting sliding doors on ground-floor apartments in Zuid: each neighbourhood has its own recurring pattern. Our advice always starts with the weak spot that matches your street.
The busiest months for burglaries in Amsterdam are October to February, when it gets dark early. That is exactly the moment to upgrade, not after.
The PKVW Safe Home Label
The Politiekeurmerk Veilig Wonen is the Dutch police safety label. Homes built to that standard are up to three times less likely to be burgled. We install and certify hardware to PKVW level so your insurance recognises the work too.
