Dead Lock Security

Many people assume that if they have a yale lock at the top of the door, that once they have shut their front door their property is secure. However, this is a misconception and could leave your property at risk of being burgled. These types of locks are very easy to open using a credit card, and this can be done very quickly. It would also be difficult to see what an intruder was doing, as they are stood so close to the door, which means that any witnesses would not even realise what they are seeing.

In order to secure your property effectively, locksmiths recommend that you always lock the chubb style lock as well, every time you leave your home. These locks are much more difficult for intruders to open, and the chances are that if they think your home is going to be too much trouble to get into, they will not bother. If you are unfortunate enough to be burgled, then any insurance claim that you make is more likely to be successful if a chub lock was used. If you have a wooden door, then you should make sure that the locks that are fitted in your door meet the BS3621 standard, as not using a lock of this standard may make it more difficult for you to make a claim on your insurance.

House burglaries are becoming more common, and it makes sense to take extra precautions to ensure that your property is secure while you are not at home. Making sure that the chubb lock is always locked, is a very simple precaution that you can take, and it can be very effective at keeping intruders out of your property. This can give you peace of mind whenever you are out of the house.
