Locks are designed to protect your property and keep you and your family safe, so it is important to ensure you do everything possible to make your home as secure as possible.
To help you avoid them, we have listed a few of the most common home security blunders, including:
You may be used to your old, rusty locks and even enjoy their quirks at this point, but it is crucial to ensure your locks are functioning optimally. Outdated, low-quality door locks signpost security negligence, which can make properties a target for intruders. Security threats can be minimised by changing your existing door locks and upgrading them with new, modern ones that are durable and practical.
Avoid using the same locks throughout your home to make it more secure. Our team are happy to advise on changing locks and especially for the high-quality uPVC doors and windows we provide.
Hiding a spare key under a flowerpot or the porch of your Brighton-based home is not a safe choice. With regular posts, deliveries and other visitors, a ‘safe’ hiding spot can easily be observed.
While it can be convenient, and you think it may save you from emergency lockouts and late-night lock repairs, our mobile locksmiths can tell you—the consequences of leaving a key outside are not worth it.
As experienced 24-hour locksmiths, we acknowledge that security cameras and lights are a great way to upgrade your house, but they can unfortunately have negative side effects. By lighting a specific section, other areas of your property can be turned into dark, blind spots where intruders could hide. With burglars often aware of these features, they can look for them to enter the premises more easily.
If you already have these features, consider upgrading your cameras and lights with alarms and motion sensors to enhance the effectiveness of your deterrents.
One of the most common mistakes is leaving valuable possessions in view from the outside. With many homes having large windows for light, the view of your indoors can also be expanded. Having laptops, keys, and other valuable items in plain sight can provide thieves with the motivation they need to break into properties in and around Brighton. Keeping these items in a secure place obscured from the eyes of passers-by and visitors will help protect your home.
Our team of mobile locksmiths are available 24/7 to provide services, offer free, impartial advice and undertake visits to discuss your concerns. As 24-hour locksmiths, we cover all requirements, from uPVC doors and windows and emergency lockouts to changing locks and lock repairs.
