Holidays Are Burglar Days, Says New Blog Post From Locked-Out Locksmiths

London, UK, NOV 29, 2015 – In order to educate London residents who may be owners of these properties, Locked-out Locksmiths (www.lockedout-locksmiths.co.uk) has just published a new blog post authored by Brendan Connolly entitled 'Seeking Locksmiths in London and Other Tips to Be Safer from Burglars’.

The article states that 'there was a string of break-ins in the Chingford area during the latter part of last year, and homes in Inks Green, Ropers Avenue, and Ainslie Wood Road were the targets. There was also an attempted burglary in Templeton Avenue less than a fortnight before Christmas.'

“There’s still many precautions that residents ought to take to protect their home and its contents,” states Connolly. “Sure, you can count on local law enforcers who ardently try to keep the suburbs safe. Nonetheless, you can also add layers of protection to your home.”

The article relates ‘tips – which locksmiths in London can help people with – for keeping their homes safer this year, especially when they’ll be going on a long vacation.’ For instance, the front door. 'The front door should be a priority since it would be the easiest entry to a home. Make sure that its lock/s are functional and durable enough not to be tampered with easily by perpetrators.' They also suggest that windows 'close properly (and that one close them every time they leave the house or when not in the room where that window is), making sure that the glass is durable, too. If not, one should invest on replacements or glazing services and even indoor shutters that can be locked.'

“Repair and locksmith professionals get a bad rap because of burglars disguising themselves as such,” stated Connolly further, “so you have to do background checks on anyone you employ.”
