What is a key safe? A key safe is a small locked box that contains a key, the key is accessible by entering the correct code to unlock the box. A key safe box is generally fitted to a brick wall using strong screws, making it difficult for a thief to remove. Key safes give fast access to a home for carers, family or emergency services - as long as someone has been given the access code, they have access to the key inside. The code can be changed at any time if you wish, giving you control over who has access. So if you need a key safe in Halstead, call me today on 01787 321569. What are the benefits of having a key safe? The main benefit that a Key Safe offers is ease of access. Key safes provide access to those who would ordinarily need or require a spare key to unlock your door.

Tips For Choosing a Locksmith in Halstead

There are many factors to consider when choosing a locksmith in Halstead.  Our checklist below should help you when making a decision.

  • Check the locksmith is DBS (CRB) checked.  This will reveal whether they have a hidden criminal past.  You need someone you can trust working with your home security, so if they do not have a clean DBS (CRB) check walk away.
  • Check the price quoted is what you will pay.  Many locksmiths will quote one price on the phone only to bump the price up dramatically once the work has been undertaken.  Make sure you know what you will be paying before work commences and sign something agreeing to the charges.
  • Make sure you are happy with what the locksmith says regarding your home security and don't be pressurised into an expensive upsell.  Not all locks are equal, and some cheaper locks do not provide adequate security for home insurance purposes so make sure if you're having new locks installed they are right for you.
  • Always use a trusted locksmith with a decent reputation and accountability.  There are many rogue traders who just want to rip customers off.  Check their websites for testimonials and guarantees.  If anything looks or feels dodgy, walk away and find another locksmith.
  • Call their advertised number and see how long it takes them to answer.  If calls are left ringing with no answer or diverts to voicemail numerous times it could indicate they will be difficult to get hold of if there is a problem with their work.  Use a locksmith who answers their phone!

Hopefully this checklist will help you to choose the best Halstead locksmith for your needs. All LockRite locksmiths are DBS (CRB) checked and will always confirm the price you will pay before commencing any work. Call 01787 321569 now for a free, no obligation quote.

Home Security in Autumn

As autumn approaches and the temperatures start to drop the nights start closing in.  Unfortunately darker evenings mean more opportunities for burglars so it's essential to look at your home security and make sure it's up to the job.  Anti snap locks, deadbolts and window locks will help to prevent most opportunist thieves and security lighting will deter intruders. If you are unsure how secure your home is, call your local LockRite Halstead locksmith today on 01787 321569 to arrange a home security survey.

Home Security in the Summer Months

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 Halstead locksmith on 01787 321569 today to discuss your home security needs.

  • Are your locksmiths local?
    Yes! Our locksmiths actually live within the locality they serve or close enough for a short commute. Not only does this mean they can be with you quickly (usually within 30-60 minutes) but it also means you are helping to support a local business rather than a company which has no interest in your community.

  • What should I do while waiting for the locksmith to arrive?
    Please make sure we have a valid contact number for you (mobile/neighbours landline, etc) and that you are able to answer the phone in case the locksmith has problems locating you. Please don't tamper with the lock yourself as you could cause additional damage which may prove expensive to repair.
  • How long will it take for the locksmith to gain entry?
    If the lock is a standard rim cylinder type (Yale/Euro Cylinder) then in most instances entry can be gained quickly, sometimes within a matter of minutes. More complex locks such as five lever mortice deadlocks will take longer due to their inherently secure nature.
