External Door Security
External door security is definitely the most important aspect of your house, which needs to be protected at its utmost. It is recommended by Islington Locksmith that your external doors are fitted with, at the bare minimum, a 5 lever mechanism lock. You must also make sure that your door is in top condition or the quality of your lock will be irrelevant. You must ensure that any rotten woodwork is replaced, and that the frame is well fitted. Make sure the hinges aren’t going rusty, and if they are perhaps invest in some manufactured from higher quality metal.
Islington Locksmith N1 also suggests that you must use good long screws on your hinges, and hinge bolts so that forcing down your front door is harder to achieve. Our Locksmith in Islington, N1 finds its best not to use glazed panels on your doors, instead opt for toughened glass or laminated glass panels.

Window Security
Statistics have shown that a third or burglars will access a house through a back window. This is why it is important that you make sure your windows are secure and key operated, as recommended by our Locksmith in Islington. It’s highly suggested that you restrict your window opening to 6 inches, by investing in window restrictors, stops or stays – all of which are available from Islington Locksmiths, N1.
