Security Essentials for the New Term From Burg-Wächter
» WITH THE NEW ACADEMIC YEAR already underway, both school pupils and college or university students alike are busy gathering the essential kit for their studies – laptops, tablets and bikes to name but a few. However, alongside the tech and textbooks, security should also be high on the checklist, especially when living communally for the first time or commuting daily, to help protect often expensive items.
With a reputation for quality and reliability, Burg-Wächter offers convenient security solutions designed to protect a host of essential valuables- and are ideal for student living.
Top marks for bike security With bike theft on the rise, for those cycling to and from campus, a robust bike lock is a must-have. David Todd, Sales Director at Burg-Wächter explained,“ Cycling UK advise that the best way to secure a bike when out and about is to use good quality locks, ideally those that are Sold Secure approved, utilising two different locks if at all possible to help hinder an attempted theft.”
With a host of locks, chains and cables to suit individual needs, from Sold Secure D-Locks and U-Locks, as well as hardened steel square chains, Burg-Wächter makes securing a bike easy. In addition, for those wanting a lightweight yet just as robust solution there is also an extensive range of strong bicycle locks, with either key or combination lock operation, giving even more choice.
David continued,“ Don’ t forget however that bikes need securing at home too- and that’ s where our innovative Bicycle Security Kit really scores top marks. Designed for ease and convenience, the kit comes with everything needed to secure a bicycle all in one box. With a solid plate steel extra strong wall / ground anchor, extra long 1.5 m heavy duty chain and sturdy U-bolt, all products in this essential kit are Sold Secure Tested and Approved and meet the Secured by Design specification.”
Room for security
But what about in their digs? Halls of residence and shared houses all provide opportunities for would-be thieves so simple protection is a must. Thank fully, Burg-Wächter’ s clever security products can help make real difference.
Hiding in plain sight Designed to be an exact replica of the famous Heinz products – beans, spaghetti or tomato soup- Burg-Wächter’ s SafeCan is a simple but ingenious way to protect small valuables from cash and cards to USB sticks and jewellery. The base is simply removed to reveal a hidden compartment where items can be safely, and conveniently, stored- all in plain sight! There’ s even a SafeCan Dictionary, exactly the same as a Collins English Dictionary, for those wanting to utilise a bookshelf.
In addition, Burg-Wächter’ s SafeCan BLOCK, featuring the three Heinz designs, but equipped with wireless signal blocking technology, functions in exactly the same way as a Faraday Box, blocking the signal for car keys to prevent keyless car theft.
A safe move David said,“ If a student has expensive equipment, such as laptops and tablets, a safe may be worth considering to give extra peace of mind. Our modern and elegant PureSafe range is rated £ 1000 for cash and £ 10,000 for valuables and offers the ultimate in convenience. There’ s an easy to operate electronic locking feature, easy to read LCD display, touch sensitive keys and even an optional capacitive touch fingerprint reader. With a solid singlewalled body and a double-walled door and automatic bolts on the electronic models, the Pure-Safe range is available in four different sizes and comes prepared for wall and floor mounting with two back wall and two floor drill holes plus fixings included.
“ In a world where it pays to be vigilant, students are looking to protect their property in the most cost-effective, leasthassled way. Burg-Wächter’ s wide range of security products- such as the Bicycle Security Kits, SafeCan range and PureSafe- can help locksmiths meet their security needs and deliver the reassurance they demand.”
