Don’t let your home security lapse this summer!
Unfortunately the exceptionally high temperatures are not
great for uPVC or wooden doors as changes in heat can often cause doors to
swell or shrink. Potentially, these changes can unfortunately leave your
property unsecure, as you may be unable to unlock or worse lock your door,
leaving your home vulnerable to break-in.
When a door swells or shrinks it’s often a simple case of calling a highly skilled and trained locksmith to fix the problem for you, making ongoing accessibility much
easier during those hot summer days, leaving you far less likely to find yourself locked out when you return from a day on the beach!
Problems with your door can be caused by a variety of other
factors during the summer; a common cause being simple wear and tear especially
when everyone is more partial to popping in and out of the back garden to top
up the tan. This can also cause security issues for your home, especially if
you’re unable to lock up due to the lock being damaged by continuous use. This
problem can also be solved by calling a local locksmith to your home who will
be more than willing to fix or replace any locks that have been damaged by wear
and tear.
Also, don’t forget to secure your home even when just
popping out to the garden, this includes the window you have left open to catch
the rare breeze. Leaving any doors or windows open during a sunbathing session
in the garden could leave your home unsecure and pretty much a burglar’s dream
of entering your property undetected whilst you’re in the garden. According to statistics provided in this
fantastic UK Burglary report provided by Tesco Compare 73% of burglars use a door to gain entry and in 3% of cases the
door was open.
