to 75 % less likely to be burgled and exhibit a reduction of 25 % in criminal damage i .

Innovative security features

The new letterplate boasts several innovative features that equip it to withstand attacks from burglars . Among these is its Barrier Protection system , which features dual side plate shields that automatically extend when the internal flap is opened , offering additional security by blocking external access to the thumb-turn or key .

CombShield defence technology adds an additional layer of security . Obstructing the view through the letterplate , it prevents attackers from visually gauging the position of items inside the home . This clever technology works by incorporating comb-like teeth that act as barriers , reducing the ability for a fishing

road to move side-toside and potentially preventing the retrieval of items like keys or small valuables .

Brett Evans , Technical Director at Yale , comments : “ The latest ONS statistics show that front door security is more important than ever . With entry through an unlocked door dropping from 15 % to 10 % ii , more homeowners appear to be locking their doors . However , 62 % of burglars still enter through the front of the house iii . This suggests burglars are increasingly finding new ways of entering homes without going through an unlocked door – such as fishing for keys through the letterplate .

“ Our new Postmaster Professional TS008 Slim Letterplate provides the perfect answer . One of the slimmest letterplates on the market , it is not only sleek and stylish , but fearsomely robust as well .

“ To provide even more peace of mind , it also comes with a 10-year Mechanical Guarantee and a 25-year Surface Finish Guarantee , so our customers can have added confidence in its performance and durability .”
