Lockforce Locksmiths in Grimsby not only offer locksmith services such as lock changes we also offer several other security services to make sure you remain safe and secure in your home and business.




We were called to a property on 29/12/2021 to attend a building following a break-in on inspection it was clear to see they had smashed the window to use the keys that were left in the inside of the door to open the door and gain entry.

We set to work cleaning up the broken glass and replacing the Euro cylinder lock with a new one as they took the keys with them and even locked the door as they left. Then the window was boarded up till replacement glass could be delivered to be refitted to the door.

We were called to a commercial building to install some smart locks to control access to a building. They asked that for a system where only certain staff could access certain areas of the building, so we went with the Ultion Smart lock.

 

 


This system is controlled remotely, and users can be added and removed by admin at anytime even allowing certain times of entry when needed.

 

The smart lock also comes with the high security of the Ultion TS007 3-star lock providing the high level of security.

Ultion Smart Lock

Ultion Smart Lock




Ultion Smart Lock


LockForce locksmiths in grimsbySmart lockSmart locks are a high tech lock allowing the need for keys to be removed. The Ultion Smart Lock is the best reviewed smart lock currently on the market this lock works with Bluetooth, Alexa, Apple Home, smart things, IFTTT, zigbee and android. 

This allows you to with the press of a button or using your voice unlock your door. There is also distance technology that as you approach your home it will automatically unlock the door and re lock the door as you leave home. 

You can remotely give people access to the door and remove there access as required. You can text or email the person whom is at your home and allow them to lock and unlock the high security lock as required. As a locksmith who as worked with smart locks for the past few years this is one I actually have on my own home. 



Great additions to the security of this lock is the ability to check your door is locked when out. Also even add a key pad so people can enter using a code like that on commercial buildings. 


Because this is Ultion it is the best in its class allowing a Key override should the battery’s die (unlikely as it keeps you aware of your battery levels) But as we all know some times we wait to long. The Ultion lock is the High Security WXM TS007 3 star lock with diamond standard. 

Some of the features available are: 
Auto lock
Twist Assist
Hold back Latch
Phone proximity unlock / lock

The Ultion smart lock battery’s are designed to last 1.5 year and are 4 simple battery’s to change by the user. 

Air B&B’s are having these fitted now to allow the guest access remotely and remove there access to the home / hotel as require with the press of a button. So no waiting up on a night for your guest to arrive as you can send them the key at a time to suit your self.

The key point that set this out from the rest for me are:

Option for key override
Long Battery life
Apple compatible
Proximity Unlock and Lock

Ultion Smart lock

Ultion Smart lock

Ultion Smart Locks what is all about ?


Lockforce Locksmiths Leeds have seen a huge increase in demand for smart locks, from Smart fitting and questions and enquiries into what they do and how this new technology works.



Many manufacturers have attempted to create smart locks however many have had reliability issues and many have sacrificed technology over security and insurance standards. The Ultion smart lock may have just ticked all the boxes.

Firstly the Smart lock is protected on the outside of the door by a Police Approved 3 star lock which has been tried and tested and features a secure lock down mode should the lock be attacked. The Smart Lock can of course be operated like the conventional way using the key to open your front door, this was a big factor as other systems such as the Yale Conexis do not have a key override and should the technology fail or batteries fail you are rather stuck and stranded outside of your home, not want you want on a cold winters night. The Ultion smart locks batteries are reported to give 1.5 years use and a battery indictor is displayed on your app so the fear of battery failure and the back up of a key does set the Ultion Smart in a league of its own.

The major big attraction to the Ultion Smart technology is that is compatible with the main platforms such as Apple and Amazon.

If your door has handles the smart kit comes with very slick design brushed metal handles in 5 colours such as white, chrome and brass. The Handles are curved in design and have added security with reinforced screw bolts. The technology is all housed in the inside handle. If your door has a escutcheon format in other words it does not have a handle the Ultion smart kit for the Escutcheon model has a very attractive escutcheon that is both secure and stylish and sleek.

So how do you operate this system without a key? We all now use smart phones and the app can be downloaded in minutes and it is very easy to use. The app is very bold and designed for ease of use, setting the door system as you see fit, the majority of customers we have fitted the Ultion Smart lock for have used the system to open and unlock the door at a touch of a button on their phone, others have it set up to open as they approach the door even without touching their phone, very handy with a bag full of shopping.

Other amazing uses are twist assist this is very good for people with mobility issues in their hands or the elderly, remote access from afar, unlimited users and fantastic add on such as keyboard entry that talks to the smart technology excellent for care homes, business users and codes can be easily changed on the App.

The support by Ultion is very good and  instructions and on line support is clear and easily assessable should you wish to fit the system yourself.

Alternately Lockforce Locksmiths Leeds are authorised installers of the Ultion Smart and happy to help you make a inform decision

What are "Insurance Approved and British Standard locks" and why do you need them?

What are "Insurance Approved and British Standard locks" and why do you need them?




Okay this is a big one for two reasons!



Firstly - When taking out home insurance, most insurance companies will have in the small print that your locks must meet a minimum security standard. If you are not meeting this criteria you could invalidate your insurance in the event of a break-in. 

Secondly - British standard locks are much safer and secure than a standard factory fitted lock. They are tested to replicate wear and tear over time and also against the most common methods of break ins. Unfortunately most new build houses and new front or patio doors are fitted with none British standard or factory fitted locks which makes it so much easier for criminals!

How to tell if you have a British standard lock?

Check for a Kite mark (which looks like a heart) on your lock.



If you are still in doubt, contact us and not only will we check your locks for free, we'll also carry out a FREE home security survey! You can't say fairer than that. 

Alternatively give us a ring or message us through Facebook.

Don't make it easy for them!

Why risk your family and possessions with cheap locks and bad security?

Why risk your family and possessions with cheap locks and bad security?



Between April 2017 and March 2018, Manchester had almost 30,000 burglaries, which I find just staggering and shows crime seems to be forever on the rise. Fortunately many of us have not experienced a break in and hopefully never will but why take the chance, safeguard against it for the future and prevent being a number in next years statistics. 

Here at Lockforce Locksmiths we take security extremely seriously and are here to help educate and protect you. 

We only provide British Standard (insurance approved), anti snap locks for all your UPVC doors. You would be surprised at how easy the common lock is to snap for criminals, taking them no more than 20 seconds to gain entry to your home, (don't believe us...? Just google lock snapping on you tube). 



Above is a picture of a common Euro cylinder found in most UPVC doors and you can see how it was snapped in half to gain entry. 

At Lockforce we will visit your property for a FREE, NO OBLIGATION SECURITY SURVEY and check the quality of your locks and advise on the best ways to upgrade the safety of your home, family and possessions

Do people look at Reviews?

We personally at Lockforce Locksmiths Leeds also read reviews for any service we book from Hotel stays to restaurants and services such as building works. If we are looking to have works completed on our house we would firstly Google the business name to view what platforms they are on and make sure they are not “here today and gone tomorrow” company and that they have a established business, then look  at the reviews and check that they have them on many different platforms and websites and that they have a good a mix and quantity of customer's. Also we would check review dates, are the dates spread over years and are posted frequently and not in batch of a few months but nothing before and nothing after. Are they part of a 3rd party organisation like Checkatrader that checks that their Insurance and public liability is true and correct and that Police DBS is up to date and checked to be genuine, and they have certification that they skilled to carry out any works you have requested.

 
Not reviewed and checked

Sadly at Lockforce Locksmiths Leeds we are often called after a customer has previously had a bad experience of a Locksmith company, the Locksmith company they called upon was not checked and reviewed and as well as the cost very expensive and over charged the work was substandard and often they have  refused to call back and rectify a lock problem they have fitted.  Lockforce Locksmiths are appalled by the lack of customer service and the workmanship and quality of locks that are often fitted incorrectly.

Peace of Mind and Guarantees

At Lockforce Locksmiths Leeds we will always give 12 months warranty on all parts we have fitted along with a relevant invoice for the works completed. Lockforce Locksmiths Leeds will always offer the customer a choice of locks and fully explain the differences and be rest assured we always fit locks that are British standard and insurance approved when it is applicable.

Upvc Doors Suddenly wont lock, open or shut

Upvc Doors Suddenly wont lock, open or shut

Upvc Doors Suddenly wont lock, open or shut


With the warmer weather upon us one of the most common calls I receive is one mentioning the above issues.

I recently completed a multi-point locking system replacement for a customer who called Lockforce Locksmiths Southampton and after one week when the warmer weather struck I had a call back mentioning the door struggled to open freely.
I reassured the customer that all work carried out by Lockforce locksmiths in Southampton carries a one-year warranty, however I also mentioned that the issue would not be down to the new locking system I installed but it was the sudden change of temperature expanding the Upvc doors themselves.
I arranged to pop around that morning free of charge (as it’s part of the service when you choose Lockforce Southampton). I then adjusted all the multipoint locking rebates, so the door closes freely.
As part of the service being your local community locksmith, I showed the customer how to adjust the rebates so later, when the weather changes for the colder, he can adjust the system back to its original state.

All part of the locksmith service in Southampton, so choose Richard at Lockforce Southampton, your local community locksmith and call me on 07542 513 739 or visit https://www.lockforce.co.uk/locksmith/Southampton/ https://www.checkatrade.com/LockforceSouthampton/
