UPVC WINDOW & DOOR SECURITY & MAINTENANCE SERVICES
Astonishing 'insider' tactics the criminal underworld are using to target UK homes. This is the shocking secret the Door Companies DO NOT want you to know.
If your Door, like many homes is a UPVC or Composite Door, you probably feel very secure in your home. When you lift the handle and you hear all the mechanism slot into place – it’s a good sound... it makes you feel safe. But here’s the thing – the entire locking mechanism of your Door relies on one thing......the euro cylinder (the lock) which holds it all together Door companies fit these locks into your door because they are cheap (some cost the companies less than a pound) People are led to believe that these “euro locks” offer a good amount of security. Until now - only a handful of professional locksmiths and well researched criminals knew about these insider tactics of breaking locks used in 90% of Doors in the UK and Europe. But as with most things and with the help of the internet, these practises are now fast becoming common place among the criminal underground and the opportunist thief. Now criminals are using techniques called – Lock Bumping and Lock Snapping on these locks.What’s worrying is - Lock Bumping keys are used legitimately by locksmiths and therefore legally available. In the hands of thieves they can be used as master keys to open any number of locks quickly and with minor disturbance. It can also make your insurance claim void, as there is no sign of forced entry. Yet what is worth mentioning to you about extra security, is that when security locks, Sash Jammers and Door Chains are fitted throughout the home, you can usually get an extra discount on your home insurance.
