These Premises Are Alarmed - Safety Signs by Caledonia Signs

Used to notify potential intruders, visitors, and occupants that the building or area is protected by a security alarm system. This signage acts as a powerful deterrent against burglary, vandalism, and unauthorised entry, as criminals are less likely to target locations that are visibly protected. By making the presence of an alarm system known, property owners can reduce the risk of attempted break-ins and enhance the overall security of the premises.

The sign is typically installed in highly visible locations, such as at main entrances, near windows, gates, fences, or along access routes to the building. It may also be posted on outbuildings, service entrances, or loading docks—areas where unauthorised access is more likely to be attempted. The goal is to ensure that anyone approaching the premises is clearly informed about the active security measures in place before attempting entry.

Commercial properties, warehouses, offices, retail stores, schools, and private residences all benefit from using these signs. For businesses, the sign not only helps prevent theft and intrusion but also reassures employees and clients that safety is a priority. In residential settings, it provides peace of mind to occupants and can even contribute to lower insurance premiums by demonstrating that the property is taking proactive security measures.

In summary, a “These Premises Are Alarmed” sign is a practical, inexpensive, and effective security tool. By clearly marking that an alarm system is in use, it deters criminal activity, supports emergency response readiness, and contributes to the protection of people, property, and assets. Proper placement of the sign enhances its impact, making it a key component of any modern security strategy.
