Securing and Protecting your home in Middlesbrough

Middlesbrough is a diverse, bustling urban centre with a population of around 100,000 people. One of Teesside's most pleasant townships, the city is home to families, young professionals, and retirees - all of whom live in a variety of different accommodation options.

With a long heritage and Victorian history, much of the accommodation in Middlesbrough is dated and thus vulnerable to break-ins and burglaries.

With a crime rate comparable to other cities in the Northeast, it should be a top priority of Middlesbrough residents to secure the doors and windows of their homes from potential break-ins.

Avoiding Burglaries

A burglar is always going to search for weak spots in your home's doors and windows for their break-in. To help deter would-be burglars, and those who might break into your home, it's important to fit high and tight security on all of your doors and windows.

The rate of burglaries in Middlesbrough hovers around 100 per month, with many of these taking place in residential areas famed for their ageing housing and substandard security.

Homes in Marton Grove and Grove Hill are some of the hardest-hit by break-ins, with homes in Beechwood likewise vulnerable to break-ins. To deter would-be criminals, secure entries are incredibly important.

Securing Your Home

The most efficient way to secure your home - whether you're in the Grove Hill district or the less crime-hit Hemlington area - is by installing new locks on your windows and doors.

Over time, the mechanisms on the locks of your windows and doors can deteriorate, making a forced entry far easier for would-be criminals who might target your home. This is especially true of the Victorian-era estates and terraced housing in the suburbs of Middlesbrough, where crime rates are highest.

Replacing these with high-quality, reliable locks and door fittings can help to give you the peace of mind that your home is safeguarded from break-ins, with vulnerable areas addressed by our team of expert locksmiths and home security specialists.

Investing in Your Home

A recent survey of districts around the UK found that Middlesbrough’s Thorntree Park ranked as the ninth most-deprived area of nearly 33,000 residential neighbourhoods in the country.

Homes in Thorntree Park and its adjacent residential neighbourhoods are often in need of repair and attention - and our team of locksmiths can fit effective locks to properties most at-risk of crime.

Why You Should Choose LockRite When Looking For a Locksmith in Middlesbrough

  • LockRite is a national and trusted brand but all our locksmiths are self employed individuals who live within, or close to, your area.  By choosing LockRite you are choosing to support local business, keeping money within your local economy.

Tips For Choosing a Locksmith in Middlesbrough

There are many factors to consider when choosing a locksmith in Middlesbrough.  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 Middlesbrough 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 01642 931508 now for a free, no obligation quote.

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.

Lock Snapping on 'The One Show'

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 Middlesbrough 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 01642 931508 for a free, no obligation quote.
