As the warm weather rolls in and we all start planning BBQs, weekends away, and school holidays, it's easy to forget one important thing—your home security.
Unfortunately, summer can be a prime time for opportunistic thieves. Whether you're nipping out for the day or heading off on a two-week break, a few simple steps can help protect your home, business, or rental property.
🏠 Top Summer Security Tips from Home Secure Locksmiths
1. Double-Check Your LocksBefore you jet off or head to the park, take a moment to check that all doors and windows are locked. It’s a simple habit that can make all the difference.
2. Upgrade Old or Faulty LocksIf your locks are stiff, loose, or simply out of date, now is the time to upgrade. We recommend anti-snap and 3-star euro cylinders for better protection against forced entry.
3. Don’t Advertise Your AbsenceAvoid posting holiday plans on social media until you're back. It might be tempting to share those poolside snaps, but it's also an open invite to burglars.
4. Keep the Front of Your Property TidyAn overflowing postbox or bin left out for days can be a sign no one's home. Ask a neighbour to keep an eye on things, or consider using timers for lights to give the appearance that someone’s in.
5. Book a Lock MOTJust like your car needs a check-up, so do your locks. Our Lock MOT service is perfect for landlords, businesses, and homeowners alike. We’ll inspect your current locks, identify any weaknesses, and offer solutions—all without pressure.
