π LOCKSMITH ADVICE FOR NORTH & WEST LONDON HOMEOWNERS π
As a local locksmith working daily across Acton, Harlesden, Wembley, Kilburn, and NW10, I see a lot of doors with weak or faulty locks. Sadly, break-ins are still happening in our area because of poor-quality locks and simple mistakes.
Here are a few tips to help keep your home secure:
β
Check your locks: If your door has an old euro cylinder (no anti-snap protection), it can be broken in seconds.
β
Lock your doors properly: On UPVC doors, always lift the handle and turn the key β just shutting the door is not enough.
β
Service your locks: A stiff or sticky lock can fail when you least expect it. Regular servicing keeps your locks working smoothly.
β
Donβt hide keys outside: Thieves know where to look. If you need spare keys, give them to someone you trust.
If you're unsure whether your locks are secure, Iβm happy to offer free advice or a security check in your area.
Stay safe and secure!
