BBC Yorkshire & Lincolnshire's Inside Out programme last night (20 February 2012) investigated just how easy it is for burglars to gain entry into homes fitted with doors normally featuring a euro cylinder style lock.
The programme demonstrated a technique that allows entry - usually through uPVC and other double glazed doors - in as little as 15 seconds by applying force and snapping the lock cylinder!
With a rise in this type of burglary since 2009, the statistics have raised concern, and West Yorkshire Police have urged people to seek crime prevention advice if they are worried about their own property.
In light of this should you decide to upgrade your existing doors or windows, then please get in touch with us. You can be assured that we only use high security locks in all our products - and have done since 2005.
Our multi-point locking systems have been tested to the highest grade of BS EN 1303 for security, achieving the maximum resistance to physical attack.
