Professional Locksmiths in Crawley

Knowing your property is secure is important for peace of mind. Here are our top tips on protecting the valuables in your home that may be at risk from burglars if you do not take steps to keep them safe. The most stolen items in domestic burglaries are laptops, mobile phones, cash, small electrical goods, watches and jewellery. This is down to the fact that they are small and relatively easy to sell on. Here are our tips to keep valuables safe: 1) Keep valuables out of sight of all windows and doors– don’t leave anything on display that may tempt a thief to break in. Don’t just hide your valuables in the sock drawer either! Don’t forget burglars know where to look. For extra piece of mind, valuable items such as jewellery and cash can be stored in a safe. 2) Door viewers, door cameras and door chains are a good way to check who is at the door before opening or without having to open the door fully. 3) Keep window keys out of sight to anyone peering in, but somewhere easy to reach in case of an emergency. 4) Garages and sheds often contain expensive tools – some of which a burglar could use to break into your home. Make sure that doors are solid and fitted with good locks. 5) Padlock any side gates. You may want to consider installing metal bar gates as they make it easy to see someone approaching.
