High security locks are installed and serviced perfectly

• Have a UPVC Lock Installed to Avoid Break-ins

  According to Consumer Reports, the most common types of break-ins are kick-ins or drilling. Those types of break-ins are preventable by reinforcing the door. Drills can open over 50% of locks, but not UPVC locks.

• Never leave the transponder key inside the car.

  This is one of the major vehicle security measures you must take. Even if you have to get out of the car just for a minute, you should take the key with you and lock the vehicle. This may cause slight inconvenience, but you will avoid lockout and reduce the risk of theft.

• Evaluate the make of lock cylinders, plugs and bolts.

  These components of the lockset must be made from strong and durable metal. The experts of Locksmith Stratford recommend locking devices whose cylinder, plug and bolts are made from solid brass. The components which are made from zinc and have brass coating are much less resistant to impact and to wear and tear.
