NATIONAL HOME SECURITY MONTH
Maximise Door Security This Home Security Month
» NATIONAL HOME SECURITY MONTH and the nights getting longer and longer , both provide the perfect time for locksmiths to focus on the importance of door security in protecting homes and businesses . Despite some positive trends , burglaries still pose a major risk across the UK , making strong , reliable locks essential for peace of mind .
The Burglary Landscape in the UK
Although burglary rates have dropped in recent years , they remain a significant threat . Let ’ s look at some recent data from the Crime Survey for England and Wales :
• 76 % of burglars enter through a door , often by exploiting weak or poorly secured locks .
• One in three burglars gain entry by forcing the door lock .
• The median cost to repair damage from a break-in is £ 300 , while the median value of stolen items in home burglaries is £ 600 .
• 80 % of victims report emotional distress after a burglary , whether it was successful or not .
These statistics show just how crucial door security is . Locksmiths like you help prevent burglaries by recommending and installing high-security cylinders , making homes and businesses harder targets for criminals .
