Signs You Should Call Your Local Locksmith For Lock Replace Leeds

When it comes to home security the first line of defence you have against potential burglars is your external doors. This is why it is so important to keep them in good working order to allow your property to remain as secure as it can be. Fortunately, Easy Pickings Locksmiths are always here to help anyone in Leeds, or the surrounding areas keep their homes secure.

Here are a few signs that you should look out for that is a good indication that your locks are in need of an upgrade!

Check your locks in Leeds every now and then to make sure there are no obvious signs of wear such as rust, if you do find rust on your lock then it would be worth contacting your local locksmith in Leeds to come and change or even upgrade locks as rust indicates the lock is becoming weak, and will one day fail to leave your home vulnerable to a break in.

Stiff handles are another sign that you may need to show your door some TLC. When your handles get stiff you should never try to force them as this could create further problems, instead call out your local locksmith in Leeds who will be able to make the necessary repairs, this could involve changing the handles with brand new locks already integrated into them, or it could just be that some adjustments are needed to the door and frame in order to get them back in working order.

Multi Point Locking Systems

Recently moved to a new house. Now, this may seem pointless to some, especially if the locks on their new property are in perfect working condition, however, It is strongly advised that whenever you move into a new home one of the first things you do is change the locks. This is because we brits often hand over a spare key to friends or relatives in case of emergencies, you may have been given a key, or even a couple of keys when you moved in but you can’t be sure that they are the only keys to your property, more often than not there is at least one or more keys still in circulation that you could never know about!

 Home Security – Moving Home with Easy Pickings Locksmiths Leeds

Lock changes and home security measures are often overlooked when moving into a new home. There are a number of essential practices that you must carry out all of which Easy Pickings Locksmiths can do for you, these include:

  • – Full home security check to ensure the property is properly secure including any outbuildings and garage locks

  • – Lock changes on all the locks on the property. The previous tenants to the property may still have keys to the property and to the outbuildings so it’s important to have all the locks changed or even upgraded. We recommend having snap-safe Ultion locks installed which are not only high-security British Standard BS3621 locks, but also act as a deterrent for potential burglars too.

  • – Windows are a common point of entry for most burglars so it’s important to establish that your windows have high-security window locks on them to improve the security of your home.

  • – Security light installation is another good idea if the property you are moving into does not have any. Security lights are a fantastic deterrent to stop would-be burglars from even attempting to break into your property.

Professional Locksmith Leeds For Broken Locks

We’ve all heard of insurance-approved locks but what are they? To put it simply, if you have insurance-approved locks installed on your property, then in the event of a burglary the insurance company will pay out for any damage and loss of goods. However, if your property is not secured with insurance-approved locks, you may find they will not pay out on a claim for damage or loss of goods.

Unfortunately, there are still millions of properties within the UK that do not have insurance-approved locks installed on their properties so it’s essential that if you have home insurance, but are not aware whether or not you have insurance-approved locks or not that you contact us so we can come and check for you. We offer a range of different types of insurance-approved locks for you to choose from ranging from different prices. Our Leeds-based locksmiths are fully insured and accredited and all our locks are fully guaranteed for 12 months.

Our team at Easy Pickings Locksmiths have been receiving an increasing number of calls from customers who need to upgrade their locks in the Leeds area in order to get home insurance. This is why we felt it necessary to share a bit of information about insurance grade locks, what they are and why insurers require you to have them in order for your policy to be valid.

Lock manufacturers, along with the police, local authorities, government and architects have all come together to set a minimum standard that a lock should be to ensure your home or business is properly secure.

Looking For A New Lock?

If you have a wooden door then you should look for the Kitemark displaying BS3621. This can be found on the front barrel or the face plate of the lock. The minimum standard for uPVC doors is TS007 which can also be found displayed on the Kitemark. If you find that your locks are below standard and do not display either of these Kitemarks then you should definitely consider contacting your local locksmith Leeds and upgrading your locks, not only is your home not as secure as it could be, but you may also find that should you ever fall victim to a break in your insurance policy may be void.

It’s not only your door locks that need to be secure, window locks also meet to meet insurer requirements. If your window locks can be opened from inside your property without the use of a tool or a key, then you should consider having your window lock handles upgraded.

The reason insurers are so strict with their minimum requirements of locks in order for you to either get cover or be paid out on any claims is because not only do they want to know that you have taken steps to ensure that your home is secure but also to be sure that potential intruders will not only have difficulty getting into your property but also once inside they don’t have an easy escape route either.

If your insurance requires you to upgrade your locks, or you would just like your locks upgraded for the extra peace of mind that your home will be more secure then contact Easy Pickings Locksmiths Leeds today on 0113 805 0761 and one of our team will help you choose the best lock for you and supply and fit it at your convenience.

What is Lock Snapping?

To better understand what a snap-safe lock is, it is first important to understand what lock snapping is and how it is a common, quick and easy method of gaining access into our homes by burglars.

Lock snapping is a technique used by burglars to break into our homes and businesses in Leeds. This technique involves snapping a lock cylinder that is commonly used in uPVC, composite and aluminium doors.

By applying force the burglar can snap the locking cylinder in two and remove the outside of the lock to expose the locking mechanism. Exposing the locking mechanism allows the door to be unlocked either manually or by using a tool. Burglars can use any tool such as a hammer or screwdriver to snap and dismantle a non-snap safe lock and can have access to our home in seconds. As it is, brute force is used to break a lock and no other special skills are needed, this form of lock snapping has become the preferred method of burglars and lock snapping burglaries have increased, according to recent research.

Lock snapping to access our properties is on the increase and is a growing concern according to recent research. It is regarded as a real threat to our homes and businesses in and around Leeds. However, there is a solution and that solution is to upgrade your existing lock cylinder to a snap-safe lock that can prevent this risk of lock snapping. The different types of snap-safe locks and advice about what kind of lock you would require for your security needs can be discussed with our team here at Easy Pickings Locksmiths.

Installing Snap-safe Locks in Leeds

Snap-safe locks can now be graded and tested for their snap ability. So, if you are going to upgrade your lock to a snap-safe lock for added security then it is recommended that you have your lock cylinder upgraded to one that has the kite mark 3-star standard that is designed to prevent lock snapping, or, a snap-safe lock that has the Sold Secure (SS312) Diamond Standard Approval.
