What is a key safe? A key safe is a small locked box that contains a key, the key is accessible by entering the correct code to unlock the box. A key safe box is generally fitted to a brick wall using strong screws, making it difficult for a thief to remove. Key safes give fast access to a home for carers, family or emergency services - as long as someone has been given the access code, they have access to the key inside. The code can be changed at any time if you wish, giving you control over who has access. So if you need a key safe in Colchester, call me today on 01206 986454. What are the benefits of having a key safe? The main benefit that a Key Safe offers is ease of access. Key safes provide access to those who would ordinarily need or require a spare key to unlock your door.Read More

As autumn approaches and the temperatures start to drop the nights start closing in. Unfortunately darker evenings mean more opportunities for burglars so it's essential to look at your home security and make sure it's up to the job. Anti snap locks, deadbolts and window locks will help to prevent most opportunist thieves and security lighting will deter intruders. If you are unsure how secure your home is, call your local LockRite Colchester locksmith today on 01206 986454 to arrange a home security survey.

As summer approaches and the days get warmer it is natural to leave windows open and doors ajar to keep homes cooler. Unfortunately this can be an open invitation to the "sneak-in" opportunist burglar who will take advantage of open doors and windows and make off with small, expensive items such as mobile phones and laptops, or even a set of house keys to return later when the house is empty or everyone is asleep. If a burglary takes place without any visible signs of forced entry it can invalidate insurance claims, so it is important to remain security conscious in the summer. One way to help prevent "sneak-in" burglaries is to install door security chains and window restrictors. This allows doors and windows to be left open slightly while offering enough security to deter an opportunist thief. Call your local Colchester locksmith on 01206 986454 today to discuss your home security needs.
