How To Keep Your Home Secure This Winter

Now summer is well and truly over, it’s time to dust off your winter coats and switch on the fire. 

Other than what you’re wearing, what else should you change when the colder weather starts to make an appearance?

As the days become shorter, it’s important you keep an eye on your security measures - making sure they’re working to their potential over the winter, to keep you, your home, and everything inside it safe. 

LockShop Direct are here to tell you how installing new security measures will keep you safe this winter. 

Stay safe 

Safes are often seen in hotel rooms and behind reception desks to keep valuables safe and out of prying hands. 

However, they are a great addition to any home to make sure heirlooms, confidential letters, and high-value investments are hidden at all times and away from potential damage. 

A safe is not only durable but also available in a variety of sizes and styles to suit your home. Whether you prefer an underfloor or wall safe, or a decoy option, you’re guaranteed to find the right safe for you here at LockShop Direct. 

Modernise your home security

Whilst smart security is still a relatively new concept, it is becoming increasingly popular with homeowners. Smart security products are easy to use, can be operated from your smartphone, and are available in a variety of packages to suit your needs. 

Here at LockShop Direct, we have a range of security cameras, video doorbells, smart alarms, and CCTV kits to keep you safe. With incorporated night vision, you’re all set, and don’t have to worry about missed attempted break-ins.

Smart security - as well as more traditional choices - also act as deterrents to burglars. If they see external measures in place, it can hint to other locks and supporting systems, making break-ins less likely. 

Are your door and window locks in check?

Having quality door locks and window locks installed is all well and good, but it’s vital you regularly check that they’re in working condition - otherwise, they won’t keep you as safe as they should. 

Check for rust, cracks and breakages, or enlist the help of a professional to take a look for you. We supply a wide range of quality solutions that are guaranteed to stand the test of time. 

Weather-appropriate security 

If you use timed lights in or around your home, make sure to alter them to turn them on sooner, with dark nights starting earlier than in the summer months. 

Again, this will act as a deterrent to intruders. Even though they’re common in many homes, they’re less likely to attempt to break in if it looks like someone is in the house. 

Update your security measures with LockShop Direct 

Are your door locks, padlocks, or CCTV cameras looking a bit worse for wear? 

It’s time to give your home security a refresh. 

Here at LockShop Direct, we have a wide range of security measures for you to choose from, including traditional methods and more modern solutions to suit your requirements.
