The best place for our local locksmiths to start when considering a security upgrade is your front door. This is often the most cost-effective place to start too as very simple upgrades can be made to any door to add a further layer of protection. The security on any UPVC or wooden door can be increased simply by installing a key chain. This may seem like a simple measure, but they cannot only protect you from strangers when opening the door to a caller, but they also add a deterrent to criminals trying to break and enter your home. If a burglar manages to bypass the lock itself, they then have the task of breaking the key chain. This can be done, bu it will cause more noise thus alerting you or neighbours.
Our local locksmiths in Manchester will assess your current door layout and may suggest that rather than a key chain, sash jammers can be used as an extra level of security on your UPVC doors. These work by creating a barrier across the door line. Our expert locksmiths Manchester always carry these in stock, and they can be fitted easily to give you a bit more peace of mind. They are very strong and will potentially stop an intruder gaining entry. We can provide different colour sash jammers depending on the colour of your door so that they look aesthetically pleasing. Our local locksmith can also fit sash jammers to your UPVC windows as another form of security against the outside.
UPVC doors can have several faults, but these are normally due to age or wear and tear. Even the changes in weather and temperatures can affect your UPVC door or patio doors. Our experienced locksmiths Manchester can usually assess the issue and rectify this within the same day.
There are 2 lock types that are most commonly used to secure wooden doors and these are Rim cylinders and Mortice locks. For wooden doors, our local locksmith will always recommend having a mortice lock as well as a Rim Cylinder if your property does not already have one. If the door already has a rim cylinder / night latch and a 5 lever mortice lock our trusted locksmith will recommend anti-thrust plates too. This is a metal strip that covers that gap between your door and the door frame and prevents anyone from sticking any tools in the door to pry it open and break the door and the lock. Our locksmiths Manchester want to keep the thieves out in the cold and will use their experience to give you the best advice.
