Home Security Tips
Here are a few Tips to help you stay safe and secure. Always close and lock your doors and windows when you go out. Don’t leave gardening tools lying around, lock them up in a shed or garage. If you have a garden gate it is advisable to have some kind of locking fitted, make sure the gate is locked when you are away from the property. Combination key safes are ideal when you need to leave a key for a tradesman or visitor. The combinations can be changed regularly and these are safer than leaving a key under a mat or plant pot. Don’t leave car keys on tables or hooks which are visible through your letterbox, It is also a good idea to fit letterbox guards.

The Locksmith Files! 17 – Ants in your Safe!
Today I opened a safe for a client, who had the key but could not unlock it. After spending some time working on the lock, I managed to open it with the key. The door was jammed solid and took some effort to open, When I finally opened the door of the safe, which was built into the wall, I found it was home to an Ants Nest! Time to make a call to the exterminator!

Busy day on the road helping customers locked out of their houses. Don’t leave your keys in the lock on the inside of your UPVC Door. This can prevent you from getting back into your house, because you will not be able to get the key into the lock (Cylinder) all the way on the outside. The key stuck in the inside will prevent you.
