Let us hep to secure what is most important to you

Hamilton Locksmiths believe that both visual and physical deterrents are the best solution in reducing the risk of burglary. Implementing such deterrents is a one off investment and need not cost a fortune.

Make sure that you have the correct locks fitted to doors and windows and be sure you have the locks that your insurance company specify. Additional locks and security products are always a good investment.

Key Fishing through the letter plate is a real problem especially in the inner-cities. But it can be stopped very effectively with an Anti Key Fishing cover, which can be fitted in minutes. Our key fishing covers are available in the most popular colours: Gold and Satin Silver, and they can be fitted using whichever fixing method you prefer: slot head screw, pozi screw, nail, rivet etc

Letterbox restrictors or cages will prevent anyone from reaching through to release locking devices. They will also prevent theft of property within reach and size of the front door. Such as your CAR KEYS.

Alarms are always a good investment, and can be relatively cheap to install. It is not true that by having an alarm, a potential intruder will think you have valuables worth stealing. Even a ‘Dummy’ bell box can be enough to make them choose another target.

Ensure that all doors and windows are secure when leaving your property.

Do not leave valuables such as laptops, games consoles, jewellery etc; in sight, through doors and windows.

Keep car keys, wallets and handbags away from the front door. Secure them away when not in use in a drawer or cupboard for example.

When going on holiday be sure to cancel milk, newspaper deliveries etc; Inform a trusted friend or neighbour so they can keep an eye on your property, taking in mail and local papers etc;. Burglars hate nosey neighbours! even better, have a friend or relative stay while you’re away.

These are just a few examples of the most common areas that will help you improve your home security, and help deter the ‘opportunist’ from targeting your home and property.
