What we may recommend

• Install a peephole or viewer in your front door
  Installing a door viewer or peephole in your door can improve your security by allowing you to see who is on the other side of your door, without having to answer it.
• Install a door chain
  Installing a door chain means that you can answer your door without the fear of intrusion.
• Install CCTV
  CCTV cameras allow you to monitor your home and work well as a deterrant too. Our locksmiths can supply and install the latest Yale Smart Security cameras.
• Purchase an appropriate alarm
  Burglar alarms can be an important addition to your home security. Not only will they sound an alarm if an intruder enters your home but they can also work as an effective deterrent. A recent study revealed that 60% of burglars would be discouraged from targeting a home with an alarm. Our locksmiths can install a range of Yale alarms to keep your home, apartment or building secure.
• Secure your garage or outbuilding
  Shed security is something that shouldn't be overlooked. It's likely that your shed will hold all the tools a burglar would need to break into your home. If your shed has windows, it's likely that it's just a single pane of glass, so you should make sure they're secure. Invest in a good solid lock and use security lighting that will switch on when movement is detected.
• Would changes to your garden help to improve security
  Avoid leaving tools or ladders in your garden or somewhere easily accessible. Often these can facilitate a thief in gaining access to your property.
