Statistics have revealed
that, in Britain, one home is burgled every 37 seconds.
That's 2335 homes every day.
With figures so high it is only a matter of time before your home is targeted
by burglars.
Doesn't it make sense to look at your home security before someone else does?
Q. When is a chubb lock not a chubb lock?
A. When it's a Union lock, or a Yale lock, or an ERA lock .....
This type of lock is a 'mortice' lock - it is fitted into a mortice in the edge of the door. They come in a huge variety of sizes, styles and makes .
Athough most people call them 'yale' locks, this is like calling all vacuum cleaners 'hoovers' or all cars 'ford'.
Cylinder rim locks are fitted on the surface of the inside of the door and have a connecting cylinder with the keyhole on the outside.
The majority of cylinder lock 'barrels' on
the market today are still built to Yale's original design which dates back
to the early part of the 20th Century.
The technology then was very good, but over the years the skills of the
average burglar have improved vastly.
Surface fitted locks, or rim locks, offer very little resistance
to either picking or forced attack.
Surface locks are normally fitted on the inside of the door as it is very
easy to remove the lock by removing the screws if fitted on the outside.
Many people consider a safe to be little
more than a box with a lock on it.
In fact, a safe is a unit designed to keep unauthorised
people OUT.
For this reason, it is vital that care is taken with
combinations and keys.
A good quality safe with no keys is an almost impenetrable barrier, possibly
with your valuables inside.
