around. Leading suppliers
such as Securikey expand
the possibilities and allow
homeowners to open a variety
of security devices with the
same key. This is possible due
to the Euro Profile Cylinder,
which can be installed in
various security products
including cash safes, high
security post boxes, emergency
key holding boxes and key
cabinet ranges, solving the
issue of numerous individual
keys potentially being lost
whilst providing the owner
with easy, convenient access to
their valuables.
SAFEGUARDING CASH
& JEWELLERY
Cash safes are available
that are specially designed
for home use in terms of
size and cost, while still
being manufactured to the
same build quality as those
designed for the commercial
market. Customers should
always look for products
that are badged to show they
have been independently
tested as testament to their
durability. The Euro Vault
by Securikey, for instance,
can offer increased security
for valuables in the home
such as jewellery, passports,
electronics and cash while
offering ease of access for the
owner when part of the one
key solution. Manufactured
with a 2mm body and 20mm
hardened steel locking bolts,
valuables are kept safe from
prying hands.
HARDWARE&SECURITY
Another security solution
that can be easily integrated
with the Euro Profile Cylinder
is the high security post box,
which prevents thieves from
accessing private mail that
could enable them to commit
identity theft. Suitable for
mounting to any flat surface,
the tough structure of high
security post boxes protects
from unauthorised access,
while offering easy access
to the postbox owner when
needed.
If other devices are
desired by the homeowner,
such as strongboxes and
under-floorboard safes,
leading suppliers of security
hardware can offer robust,
high quality options that are
all capable of incorporating
the Euro Profile Cylinder
for a convenient ‘one key’
solution.
EASILY FITTED, NOT
EASILY REPLICATED
This effective ‘master key’
system also minimises the
risk of key duplication. When
moving into a new home,
homeowners and tenants
can face the risk of strangers
accessing their house via key
copies as conventional keys
are easy to duplicate.
With the one key solution,
a robust, high quality lock is
delivered in every instance, as
the Euro Profile Cylinder Lock
is manufactured to extremely
high standards and can only
be duplicated by approved
dealers, offering a high

that is also straightforward
to install in the hands of a
professional locksmith.
BUILDING CUSTOMER TRUST
In addition to recommending
low cost, high quality
products that deliver
enhanced security, there are
other burglary-prevention
measures locksmiths can
advise their customers to
take. This advice will also
help them build trust and a
longstanding relationship
with their customers. Good
commonsense tips include:
• Marking or etching property
with the postcode, house or
flat number or the first three
letters of the house name.
Burglars get discouraged if
the house is easily identified
by the police.
• Not leaving car keys or ID
documents near doors,
letterbox or windows.
• Leaving some lights on if it
will be dark before you get
home.
• Always checking who’s at the
door and not opening it if you
feel anxious
• Closing and locking all your
doors and windows, even if
you are only going out for a
few minutes.
• Not leaving notes for service
people or family members
on the door. These act as a
welcome mat for a burglar.
Often people are simply
not aware of security flaws
in their homes, and they will
generally appreciate the advice
