Don’t Let Burglars In: Lock Up Tight!

Hide Your Keys, Hide Your Worries

Never leave your keys lying about in plain sight. Stash them somewhere safe and far from doors and windows – out of reach for any sneaky burglars.

Secure Your UPVC Doors Properly

Make sure internal hand-operated locks on UPVC doors are fully locked with a key. And importantly, let everyone in your household know where the keys are in case of an emergency escape.

Lock Up When You Head Out

  • Double-check all windows and doors are locked tight with top-quality locks.
  • Use timer switches on your lights to make your home look lived-in, even when you’re not.
  • Fit a letterbox cage or restrictor to stop crooks fishing for your door handles or latches.
