Home Security in Victoria: What the Numbers Say & How AJ’s Doors & Screens Helps Protect Your Home

How Victorians Really Protect Their Homes — The Statistics Tell the Story

When it comes to home safety, Victorian homeowners are becoming more aware than ever of the importance of strong security measures. Whether you live in Gippsland, Warragul, Traralgon, Moe, Drouin or anywhere in South East Victoria, break-ins remain a real and ongoing concern.

According to Crime Statistics Agency Victoria:

• A home burglary occurs once every 18 minutes across Victoria.

• 1 in 5 Victorians have experienced a break-in or attempted break-in.

• Unlocked doors and windows remain one of the top entry points used by intruders.

At the same time, Sustainability Victoria reports that:

• Up to 90% of Victorian homes rely on natural ventilation during warmer months.

• Many homeowners avoid leaving windows open due to security worries — reducing airflow and increasing dependence on cooling systems.

These statistics highlight a clear trend: Victorians want fresh air and comfort, but they don’t want to feel unsafe doing it.

That’s where AJ’s Doors & Screens steps in.
