Having our homes broken into is something that we all worry about. Figures from the Government’s Crime Reduction team highlight the likelihood that burglars will enter a property via a door. "Burglars are most likely to target doors" (71%), usually by forcing a lock (28%). Breaking door panels is also a relatively common method of entry."* It can take just a few seconds to force a front, back or patio door not equipped with the necessary security."

The BBC’s recent Cracking Crime night highlighted this as a major concern with a staged break-in on the programme taking just 40 seconds, via the back door. However, there is no need to live in a fortress. A-Z Locksmiths 'Menu' section below will tell you about many simple measures you can take to help you feel safe and sound without feeling like a prisoner in your own home.
