Home Security Advice

With an estimated break-in every sixty seconds, good security is no longer an extra for your home. Some insurance companies will give a discount on your home insurance premiums if your home is securely locked – more and more will not renew unless you are! Most burglaries happen when a house or flat is empty. Don’t advertise your absence when you are on holiday or even out at work or shopping.

On security matters Cambs Lock & Safe are the real experts, dealing first hand with security problems on a daily basis. Our team have been specifically trained to assess your level of risk and to specify measures to give the proper degree of security. We are conversant with all legal and insurance requirements and our advice can eliminate the inconvenience and poor security of any inappropriate application of a lock. We have a range of security devices available and will advise whether a 5 lever mortice lock or a surface mounted lock with lockable interior handle, manufactured to BS3621 (or a stronger door!) should be fitted. We offer a local service and we can also cut keys quickly and accurately at low cost often while you wait.

Remember, windows, especially those at the back of the house or accessible from a flat roof need to be checked. The toilet and bathroom windows are especially vulnerable to an agile thief. Locks are available for all types of windows and act as a visible deterrent to the opportunist thief. Check the patio door and ask us which is the best additional lock to stop a burglar lifting it out. The garage and garden shed are the first stop for many thieves, tools, especially your spade help them to break-in more easily. So will your ladder! A hasp and staple with a strong padlock will foil them as will a defender on your Garage door. We can also manufacture and install window bars, collapsible security gates and grills – made to measure. Another point to remember! – if you change your home, change your locks, only then can you be certain no one else has keys. We also stock a wide range of safes from small safes for valuables and sentimental items to larger safes which accommodate laptops. Most home safes offer some level of fire protection for documents and data.

Cambs Lock & Safe offer a local service and have over 30 years experience, our knowledge and interests go beyond that of the lock manufacturers, so, whatever your needs, we will offer objective advice and service. We also provide comprehensive after sales support.
