We’ve become concerned about the increasing number of calls we’ve received from customers in the local area worried about reports of rising crime rates.

We understand the importance of keeping your property safe. After all, no one wants to spend all day at work worried about the safety of their family and belongings. Such thoughts only lead to stress and anxiety which are detrimental to your health.

The team believe it is important to inform our customers about extra levels of security that is available for their properties. Securing your home should not be unaffordable either. Two easy crime prevention solutions inlcude:

Door Chains

Very simple addition is a door chain. The door chain may not seem much, but it can be vitally important in scenarios where something has gone wrong.

This item doesn’t just let you see visitors before they enter your property, it also helps delay criminals when they’re in the middle of committing a crime.

Door security chains can prove very difficult to get past once an unwelcome visitor has got through your lock. Usually, criminals will attempt to barge down the door to your home to get past it.

Not only will this take time, but it’ll create noise that alerts either yourself or your neighbours. In the pursuit of catching criminals, such minutes can be vital in protecting your property and being able to bring the perpetrators to justice.

Mortise locks

Many houses are easy to break into. That is because the doors are old. Which often means their locks are old, too. You should think about your door security when a burglary has happened near you.

The tools required to access these doors are very rudimentary and thieves could easily take advantage of these weak security situations. We should talk about these things in our local community.

It is therefore advisable to fit a 5 lever mortice lock on audio external facing doors where appropriate we can advise, supply and fit these locks at short notice or you can book in a time that suits you.

A standard mortise lock usually includes a mortise cylinder, a deadbolt, auxiliary latch, latch bolt and lever trim. The mortise lock is different from a typical cylinder lock in the way that it everything is assembled around the mortise pocket.

The mechanisms are bigger and heavier, built to withstand more use so we recommend these types of locks where possible for better security. We can also advise you on how to maintain your mortise lock for longer-lasting effectiveness.
