Locking up your property is absolutely essential – you wouldn’t even pop out without first locking all the doors and windows. It is the only way in which you can keep your property safe and it will also mean that you can claim on your insurance if a burglary does occur. The quality of the locks you use is more important than you might think.
Quality locks will ensure your property is harder to break into. They will be stronger, sturdier and overall, more generally secure. If you do not use the right type of lock, they can easily break or may also be easy to pick. British Standard locks are the safest to use, as this indicates that the lock is meeting with the minimum standards for security.
Choose a locksmith to fit the locks for you – a lock is only as good as its fitting. They will be able to make sure it is functioning properly.
