Making sure your locks and doors are secure
Home insurance will help replace the contents of your home should you get broken into but what about your peace of mind? Have the reassurance which comes with knowing your home is as secure as it can be by having an expert identify any weaknesses to your security and offer advice to help reduce the risk of your home security being breached by a burglar.
If you have PVCu or composite type doors then you should make sure that they are fitted with locks that will deter opportunist burglars, not present them with easy access to your home. Quite often doors of this type are fitted with locks that are prone to cylinder bumping or snapping techniques that are often used by thieves to enter homes.
Optional and without Obligation
If you wish to opt out of your free home security check, you can do so at any time within 7 days of accepting your home insurance policy. If you buy online, you will be given and option to be immediately removed from this offer at the end of your online purchase.
This service is completely free and there is no obligation to buy any recommended product or service.
What is Cylinder Bumping?
- can leave no sign of forced entry
- can cause problems with insurance claims
One of the locks that could be recommended is the Gege Pextra24 Euro Cylinder which carries the Secured by Design and is approved by the UK police force.
If your doors are fitted with conventional locks which are prone to bumping or snapping, the approved locksmith may recommend that you are fitted with the Gege Pextra24 Euro Cylinder.
This lock carries the seal of approval, meaning that it is approved by the UK police force because it is designed to high security standards and is an effective method of preventing burglaries.
Substandard locks could make your insurance invalid
Cylinder bumping leaves no signs of forced entry and can cause problems with insurance claims should a burglar enter your home in this way. The only way to safeguard your home against this type of forced entry is to make sure that your doors are fitted with locks that are bump and snap resistant.
