Securing windows with standard roller shutters is not sufficient as burglary protection—they are primarily designed for privacy and sun protection and can be pushed up quite easily. At the very least, you should retrofit mechanical additional security devices to prevent lifting.

If you are planning to replace your roller shutters or are building a new home: shutters should be certified, specifically burglar-resistant (resistance class 2), and professionally installed. However, even burglar-resistant shutters alone are not enough to secure windows properly—windows themselves should also be inspected by a specialist and reinforced if necessary.

Mario Pichelmaier from Amper Ausfperrdienst in Munich advises: do not make it easy for burglars and avoid signaling, by lowering shutters during the day, that you are currently on vacation.
