Thieves are using stickers advertising a fictitious local locksmith company to mark homes which are an 'easy target'. The criminals carry out a preliminary reconnaissance on the area and mark houses which are deemed as having poor security measures in place. They later return to break into the houses which have already been marked as targets. The authorities are advising residents to remove the stickers immediately if they see any on their doors or windows. Is your home secure? Call us today on 01264 315323 to arrange a security check on your premises. You can read more about this story at http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-london-24994148

Carefully consider where you hide your outside spare key. Avoid hiding places like over the door frame or beneath the doormat. Experienced criminals will check these places immediately. If the home you are moving into is not brand new, you should change the locks on all the doors. The person who used to live there may still have a key. Turn the ringers off on all your phones if you will be away for a prolonged period of time. If a burglar keeps hearing your phone ring, they'll know the home is not occupied, making it more likely for a break-in to occur.

Many of Britain’s van drivers could be putting themselves at risk of theft without the correct level of insurance cover according to a survey by a leading insurance comparison website. Approximately 65% of van owners surveyed, which included many small businesses, said they used their vans to transport tools, goods or equipment and over half of those surveyed said they left items in their vehicles overnight. Approximately 10% of those surveyed also admitted to selecting the 'social only' insurance level to reduce insurance costs which would not be adequate for a business/commercial insurance claim. Van drivers put their vehicles at risk of theft

Home security should be a concern for anyone, particularly those with children or those in a high crime area. Even if you are on a budget, there are steps you can take to feel safer. Read the tips in this article to learn more about improving your home's security and safety. While home security systems are effective in most cases, many robberies are committed during daylight hours when the home is not vacant. In this case, the security system may not be activated so no warning would be sounded. Most burglars enter the home at some other point than the front door. If you have a large dog, that will usually deter a burglar from entering your home. This is why you should give them this illusion, even if there is no dog on your property. You should place a sign in your yard that warns about a dangerous dog. Most burglars won't take a chance on this. If you buy a home which already has an alarm system in place, call the company to find out if there are any upgrades available. Sometimes new home owners can get great deals when they move in, giving them better hardware, a few free months of monitoring and more. A time-tested way to know your home is safe when you're not there is to let your neighbours know you're going away. They can keep watch over your home to ensure nothing is going on which shouldn't be. They can also collect flyers, newspapers and mail for you, all of which can alert burglars that you're not home. As said in the beginning of the article, there are several reasons why someone may become concerned about the safety of their home. Instead of hoping fate is on your side, take cautionary steps to increase safety. Remember the tips in this article if you want to make yourself feel safer at home.

The latest UK crime statistics show an alarming rise in vehicle thefts involving the use of a key with 25 percent of all stolen vehicles now being taken with the original key or a cloned copy. It is important to lock your car, even when kept in a garage, and ensure your car keys are kept out of sight from the opportunist thief as a car which is stolen with the use of a key is unlikely to be covered in the event of an insurance claim.

As summer approaches and the days get warmer it is natural to leave windows open and doors ajar to keep homes cooler. Unfortunately this can be an open invitation to the "sneak-in" opportunist burglar who will take advantage of open doors and windows and make off with small, expensive items such as mobile phones and laptops, or even a set of house keys to return later when the house is empty or everyone is asleep. If a burglary takes place without any visible signs of forced entry it can invalidate insurance claims, so it is important to remain security conscious in the summer. One way to help prevent "sneak-in" burglaries is to install door security chains and window restrictors. This allows doors and windows to be left open slightly while offering enough security to deter an opportunist thief. Call your local Andover locksmith on 01264 315323 today to discuss your home security needs.

The dangers of lock snapping were recently discussed on the One Show (7th March 2012) and the advice is to ensure the locks on your uPVC doors are designed to withstand this kind of forced entry. Lock snapping is a technique used by burglars where uPVC locks are literally snapped in half allowing quick access to your property. Unfortunately this type of forced entry is becoming more and more commonplace, and many homes with uPVC doors in the Andover area are susceptible to this kind of attack unless the locks have been upgraded with anti-snap cylinders. We can provide anti-snap, anti-bump and anti-pick locks for your doors. Call us now on 01264 315323 for a free, no obligation quote.
