In recent years, residential burglaries have become increasingly sophisticated. Thieves now use various methods to enter homes, and one of the more talked about is the use of so-called “invisible glue”. This seemingly innocent method can affect doors, locks and security devices and create weaknesses that make homes more vulnerable. By understanding how the method works and which preventive measures are effective, you can reduce the risk of burglary.
What is “invisible glue”?
“Invisible glue” is a transparent or difficult-to-detect adhesive substance that can be applied to, for example, locks, door handles or other parts of a door without leaving any obvious traces. The purpose may be to sabotage the lock’s function, make it more difficult to use, or in some cases, affect security equipment. Since the adhesive is often difficult to detect, the homeowner may not notice the problem until it has already caused disruption.
However, there is limited documented evidence that this method is used on a large scale. Regardless, it is always wise to be aware of unusual changes to doors and locks.
