When working with a tradesman, it is always advisable to work with a 24/7 emergency locksmith that has a good reputation. One way of checking a locksmith's reputation is to check for reviews online and find out what other customers are saying about the locksmith. If good reviews are consistently being left, then you can be confident that you are working with a trustworthy locksmith.

Given that a locksmith will be working on your home or office / commercial building security, you may want to consider a CRB Check or a DBS Check. These are background checks which check if someone has a criminal record. If a rapid response locksmith has a criminal record you may want to reconsider whether you work with them. It is also important that you work with a 24-hour emergency locksmith that has the skills and is trained to carry out the work to a high standard. Therefore, look for a locksmith that has accreditation or training as a locksmith. One final point to look for is, does the locksmith offer a guarantee? They should if they are installing new security equipment or repairing existing locks. A 12-month guarantee is considered a standard guarantee.

Have you just moved home and are mindful of your home's security? A professional locksmithing service will offer a home movers lock package. This is a service designed especially for home movers who want to ensure the safety and security of their new home.

Most locksmith services will primarily include repairing and changing the existing locks in your home, including doors and windows. Locksmiths will offer a security audit that will review your home's current security measures. An experienced locksmith will identify a security risk and give advice on what measure you can take to enhance the security of your home. This may include additional locks on windows and doors, heavy duty locks, chains installed on doors, and surveillance equipment etc.

If you have just moved home, it is unlikely that you will know a great deal about the previous occupants, or who has a key to the home. This poses a potential security risk, where there is a possibility of a burglary or a break-in by someone who has a duplicate key or is familiar with the home's security system. If you have moved into a new home or flat, the Home Office has statistics that indicate you are twice as likely to have your home broken into within the first 12 months. We suggest you give us a call immediately.

Locksmiths will recommend that you change the locks as soon as you move into your new home and conduct a security audit of your home to identify potential security risks. If you do not change the locks and make your home's security a priority you could be putting your home and your family at risk. If there is a break-in or a burglary, it is important to review your home insurance terms and conditions. Some insurance companies require you to have the locks changed when you move into a new home, therefore if you haven't and there is a burglary your insurance may not cover you for damages or stolen property.

Home security acts as a deterrent. Having high levels of security such as locks on all the doors and windows acts as a great barrier to prevent your home from a break-in and burglary. However, having a high standard of locking systems in your home also acts as a deterrent. Criminals and burglars will often conduct surveillance on properties before a break-in. They are much more likely to target a property where the security systems are weak and are easier to bypass without getting disturbed by the occupants or the authorities. Therefore, if you prioritise having a high standard of home security, the chances of you having a security breach by a burglar will be greatly minimised.

There are many reasons to buy a home movers lock package from a locksmith such as Lockey Locks. A professional locksmithing company will enhance the security of your residential or commercial property. They have the tools and experience to identify security risks and advise on what the best steps are to take in order to protect your building.

On-site security appraisals (security surveys) are carried out by security experts who have experience with security systems and locking systems. They are designed to evaluate the standard of a building or property's security measures. Once an appraisal is complete, a report will be produced detailing the security status of the building or property, and it will highlight potential security risks as well what measures can be taken to enhance the building or property's security.

Anyone who is concerned about security risks at their home or property would benefit from having an on-site security appraisal. A professional security company (including expert locksmiths) will use their years of experience and offer expert advice on the current security status and what steps need to be taken. An on-site security appraisal provides valuable information if you are considering buying a property. For example, if you are buying new business premises an on-site security appraisal would allow you to determine the standard of the security at the property as well as evaluate the risk. If the security is considered to be too high risk, then it makes the property unviable to purchase for your business. Equally so, if decided to move ahead with the purchase, an on-site security appraisal would allow you to evaluate the cost of upgrading the property's security.

An on-site security appraisal is often conducted after a security breach has occurred. This is because most people are not planning for a security breach until they do happen. Once a property has been burgled or broken into, suddenly security becomes an issue - people begin to take security a lot more serious. In this situation, an on-site security appraisal can identify where the security breach happens and help the police in their investigations should they need to. From there appropriate security countermeasures can be identified and put into place. Here at Lockey Locks we do it all, and will happily help you feel safe and secure in your home.

An on-site security appraisal will involve a risk assessment. A successful security risk assessment should cover the 4 following areas:

1) Identification: All areas and locations are identified, that pose a security risk.
2) Assessment: All areas and locations that have been identified as a security risk, are then assessed to determine the level of risk they pose to a building's security.
3) Mitigation: Security controls are identified that would either control or minimise the risks identified, for example, a recommendation could be to install new locks on all windows.
4) Prevention: Processes and controls systems should be implemented to act as a deterrent, and also minimise the risk of a security breach from happening again in the future.

Recommendations will vary depending on the level of security risk, and the degree to which security measures have been implemented already. Security measures will also differ depending on the type of property. Residential customers will take different security measures compared to commercial customers, and the technologies and equipment will vary greatly between residential and commercial sites also. Therefore, it is important to consult a professional when conducting an on-site security appraisal. Lockey Locks are happy to help any on-site security appraisal in Harlow.
