‘Our aim is simple
... We want to put
an end to locksnapping - and
believe me we can’
“The first indication of a change
in insurers’ general awareness
of the issue occurred earlier this
year when the RISCAuthority
incorporated an explanation of
lock-snapping, and the importance of TS007 and SS312 in the
fight against it, in its publication
S24: Physical Security for Homes
– Guidance to Occupiers.”
Avocet has seen its TS007
3-star and SS312 Sold Secure
Diamond accredited lock
praised by police forces around
the country and be given the
Police’s ultimate seal of the
approval, Secured by Design
accreditation.
The company works closely
with Neighbourhood and Home
Watch Network to promote
home security and lock-snapping prevention.
“Our aim is simple,” concluded
Clive. “We want to put an end to
lock-snapping - and believe me
we can.”
