UPVC DOOR LOCK UPGRADE


Had to be the day I forgot my thermal gloves, -4 very early this morning upgrading a customers UPVC door lock in Exton near Exeter...but the cuppa tea from my lovely customer helped thaw out my magic locksmith fingers, but seriously upgrading your UPVC locks is an excellent idea, it will make it way harder for criminals to break in to your property especially if your current UPVC door locks have been on the door for over 20 years, it will be outdated and not meet the more modern security standards. Newer modern locks have higher tech features, made of higher quality materials, have many more locking points and come with a high security anti-snap cylinders, thus making them so much more resilient to break in techniques like lock picking, drilling or lock snapping.

So by using preventive measures, addressing the doors vulnerabilities, you will definitely have peace of mind and potential insurance benefits.

When upgrading look for the following:

Anti-snap cylinders designed to stop lock snapping attacks

British Standard Kitemark, shows the product has met the most up to date security standards.

Multi-point locking system, the more locking points you have especially shoot and hook bolts across the frame will give greater security benefits.

And always make sure you have your upgraded lock correctly installed by a professional locksmith.
