It is determined by the type of lock you have. Most locks can be unlocked within 20 minutes, however, 5-level mortice deadlocks usually require a longer time.

Lock Snapping

The terms “cylinder snapping” and “lock snapping” may be familiar. The technique of Lock snapping, which takes ZERO skill on the part of the thief, is a prevalent technique. It’s used by burglars to enter a building with a Euro cylinder lock. Almost all domestic homes with UPVC doors have Euro lock cylinders that are prone to lock snapping. Nevertheless, a sizable proportion of composite and aluminium doors also have them, frequently employed in both commercial and residential settings.

uPVC Doors and Window Locks

Lock snapping is the process of opening a lock by first breaking the cylinder. While you may believe that your door is secure because it has multiple locking points. It’s crucial to remember that each one is controlled by the cylinder, which is also its weakest link. If the cylinder is broken, all the locking points become inoperable. A criminal only needs 5–10 seconds to break the lock. Numerous videos are on YouTube demonstrating how to snap a lock without any special equipment and with little to no knowledge. It’s crucial to know what kind of locks are installed on your property and to replace them if necessary.

You would usually be asked what kind of locks you have installed on your outside doors and windows when applying for home insurance. If your house doesn’t have the proper locks installed, you risk paying a higher insurance price. Below are the requirements for door locks in terms of insurance. Door locks that are most likely to be accepted by insurance companies?

The Five Lever Mortice Deadlock –

Despite what the name might imply, the five-lever mortice deadlock is a typical door lock style that you’ve probably seen before. If you’re unsure whether the door lock on your door is of this sort, look for a mortice (a type of hole) cut into the wall or door where the lock will be installed. Mortice locks are different from deadlocks in that they are built into the actual wall and can only be opened with a key. Just a keyhole and a bolt make up a deadlock. One of the greatest lock types for insurance purposes is the five-lever mortice deadlock since the more levers a mortice deadlock has, the safer it is.

Key-operated Multi-Point Locking System –

The key-operated multi-point locking system bolts the door into the frame and locks at many points with the turn of a key. Providing a high level of security, offering an even better level of security than the five-lever mortice deadlock. They are frequently found on uPVC doors, chances are good that you already have a multi-point locking system installed if you have one. These locks often feature three locking points, which means that when you turn the key, they all lock at once.

Night Latches –

Most insurance companies prefer night latches to be used in addition to one of the other door lock types as an additional security measure when it comes to lock types. These are much less secure than a five-lever mortice deadlock or multi-point locking system since they are positioned on the front door rather than morticed into the wall.

We’ll start with some essential home security advice that we’ve all heard but may have become a little complacent about because it hasn’t happened to us yet. It may sound obvious, but with a hectic family and work life, these items are often ignored.

Making sure you always lock all doors and windows when you leave the house, never leaving windows open, and not leaving valuables in plain sight for burglars to be tempted are the core safety tips. Still, we will go over many more to ensure your house is the safest in the neighbourhood, these small things that we all know but sometimes forget.

One of the greatest suggestions we can provide you with –

Keeping valuables out of sight is to put only low-value items in lockups, sheds, and other outbuildings. If you have an expensive toolset, keep it beneath the stairs and move some unwanted boxes into the shed. Christmas decorations, old toys, clothes, and items you rarely use are all ideal for storing outside the home.

Keep the possessions that you value the most in the building that is the most difficult to gain access to, and if they are valuable, do not display them in pride of place in your home. Keeping them under the stairs, in cupboards and out of sight of the window is the greatest approach to limit the danger of home intrusion. Being a victim of a burglary is awful, and we want to make sure that if a thief looks through your windows, they don’t see any valuable objects laying about.
