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!

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/

Know your lock mechanism...

Lock mechanism care...

A common problem we come across at Lockforce Liverpool is a customer not being able to lock or open their UPVC & Composite doors because of failed mechanisms.

Firstly what is a mechanism? It's the strip of metal you see within the door that the bolt and hook comes out of, integral to keeping you safe and secure.

There’s a number of causes to a mechanism failing but by far the most common is people continuing to force the handle up to engage the bolt and hooks. This occurs because the door has misaligned by dropping and therefore the door and frame no longer line up as they should and making it harder to engage everything.

With this you’re then putting undue pressure on the gear box (brains of the mechanism) within the mechanism and this leads to parts in the gear box either snapping off or bending with the force and this leads to it failing. Sod’s law will tell you that it will fail when trying to lock it late at night, leaving you with the decision of either leaving your door unlocked overnight (not wise) and paying for a locksmith to come and repair it out of hours which can be more costly. Or it will fail to open from the locked position just as you’re getting ready to leave for work, making you late whilst you call for a locksmith to come out and gain entry and repair the problem.

Either situation is of great inconvenience and could leave you exposed. Your safety is our main concern here so please consider our recommendations at Lockforce Liverpool, if you’re finding it more difficult to lift the handle and turn the key then don’t delay, call your local, trusted Locksmith.

We would prefer to come round and adjust your doors by the hinge or toe/heeling method at a lesser cost to you rather than the eventual mechanism fail at a greater expense and exposed safety.

Lockforce Locksmiths Scunthorpe Working over the Festive Period

Lockforce Locksmiths are all ways working

Over this festive period, we have been busy, getting people back into their home, dealing with faulty / broken doors and making homes safe again after burglary’s

A few ways to keep your home safe

Lock all doors and windows every time you leave the house even if nipping to the shop we see most burglary’s last about 4 minutes in that time they have everything they need and are gone again.

Lock doors even when you are at home.

The sad fact now is that burglars don’t care if your home or not recent the amount of burglary’s during the day has gone up considerably they open doors grab bags and keys and leave again either with your bag or even your car.

It’s best to just lock your door as you are not insured if your door is not locked anyway. You can leave the key in the door, so you can get in and out easily but just

Make sure your door is lock and remove keys on a night.
