Older euro cylinders can be vulnerable to attack. Consider upgrading to a 1* or 3* anti-snap cylinder for improved security.
This can stop another key from working and may leave you locked out.
Previous owners, tenants, tradespeople or neighbours may still have copies of the keys.
Locks often give warning signs before they fail completely.
Avoid hiding them under mats or plant pots.
Dropped doors and worn mechanisms can affect security.
Motion-sensor lighting can deter opportunistic criminals.
Modern locks provide better protection and may help with insurance requirements.
Small lock and door issues rarely fix themselves. A stiff lock, faulty mechanism or dropped UPVC door will usually worsen over time, leading to more expensive repairs and even lockouts. Addressing problems early can save money and help keep your property secure.
If your keys are lost, stolen or unaccounted for, consider replacing the lock or cylinder. You never know who may have access to the missing keys.
