Security specialist , Mul-T-Lock is proud to announce that it will be supporting this year ’ s National Home Security Month ( NHSM ), bringing attention to the importance of home security amongst homeowners and driving business for local locksmiths across the UK .
The annual campaign , which this year is themed “ Protect what matters most ”, runs throughout October and works to offer advice , break down technical jargon , and debunk security myths for UK homeowners , all whilst helping to drive demand for security products and locksmith services nationwide .
Recent statistics have shown that around 92 % of domestic burglaries are made via a door , with a forced lock and an unlocked door being the top two most common methods of door entry . The most recent burglary report from the Office of National Statistics proves that there is much more to be done to educate consumers on home security , particularly when it comes to properly securing external doors of a property .
Experts at Mul-T-Lock are advising that to prevent unwanted access , homeowners should change locks every five years for added peace of mind , or as soon as possible after moving into a new home .
Highlighting the cost and time saving benefits , as well as the unrivalled advice homeowners can get from an approved locksmith ’ s extensive knowledge and experience , Mul-T-Lock is putting a big focus on consumers getting in touch with their local locksmith each time they want to change their locks .
Mul-T-Lock hopes to use the NHSM campaign to keep homeowners informed on the best security products and practices , and when it comes to choosing which door cylinder to opt for , Mul-T-Lock offers the original and the best . The brand is promoting its coveted Break Secure ® 3DS anti-snap cylinder , specifically designed to help locksmiths meet consumer demand for high security locks .
“ National Home Security Month has become such an important event in the calendar , due to the good it does for homeowners and the security industry as a whole . Figures show that burglaries spike by as much as 25 % in the autumn and winter months , which is why we want to encourage homeowners to reach out to their local locksmiths and act now .
“ Mul-T-Lock ’ s Break Secure ® 3DS cylinder offers locksmiths a key weapon in the battle against domestic break-ins . In fact , we are so confident that this product will provide maximum protection to a home , that we ’ re offering a full ten-year guarantee .”
