National Home Security Month (NHSM) is an annual UK awareness campaign held every October. First launched in 2013, it educates homeowners on property protection ahead of the winter months, when darker evenings and the changing clocks trigger a seasonal rise in burglaries.

Campaign Focus and Goals

• Timing: Runs for all 31 days of October, timed to prepare properties before dark winter nights and the peak of burglary claims around Bonfire Night.
• Weekly Themes: The campaign splits the month into four distinct areas—usually covering doors and windows, locks, smart tech/alarms, and general outdoor security.
• Key Partners: Supported by security brands like Yale and ABUS, as well as police-backed initiatives like Secured by Design.

Essential Home Security Tips

• Check Your Locks: Ensure front and back doors use anti-snap high-security cylinders and windows are properly latched.
• Use Timers: Set indoor and outdoor lights on timers to make an empty house look occupied during early dark hours.
• Review Exterior Areas: Keep side gates locked, trim overgrown bushes that hide entry points, and test external security lights or alarms.
You can explore official guides and seasonal advice directly on the National Home Security Month Website.

Don’t get caught out now the dark nights are drawing in. Contact us today and deal direct with Steve on……

Attended a job in Woodseats, S8 to help a customer whose lock had failed on the back door, despite having only been changed less than a year ago by another “locksmith” company.
The lock they had installed was a cheap Versa euro cylinder, which are poorly made and offer very little protection against a forced attack.
When they asked our advice on which type of cylinder to go for to stop this happening again, we recommended and installed the very latest APECS_UK AP 3* anti snap cylinder, backed by……

❌ “49ers” strike in Millhouses ❌
We were called to help a customer in Millhouses, S7 who had sadly been the victim of the dreaded 49ers on Sunday night.
They had just got back home after a long flight, and the locking mechanism had failed on their door. Even though they had the key, the door wouldn’t open.
They believed they were calling a local locksmith, but instead rang a national company who sent out an inexperienced engineer, who struggled for hours to force open the door. They snapped the cylinder lock, drilled off the handles, and mashed up the lock case, but due to the nature of the fault, they still couldn’t get in, without crow-barring the door and forcing it open.
They left the door unsecure, claiming they had no spare parts, leaving the customer vulnerable and with a large bill for their time!
We were recommended by several neighbours on their street WhatsApp group, who we had previously done work for, and arranged to go out ASAP to repair and replace all the damaged parts.
✅New Yale Platinum 2⭐️ security handles
✅Yale Superior 1⭐️ anti snap cylinder
✅ Full length Wink Haus composite door locking mechanism
✅ 2 x new genuine Wink Haus hook striker plates installed.
✅ Door realigned and everything adjusted to getting it working and looking like it did before the 49ers destroyed it!

If you ever find yourself locked out and in a vulnerable position, don’t panic and phone the first number that appears at the top of Google searches.
✅ Always look to check where the company is based…. If there is no contact address, AVOID! 🛑🛑🛑
✅ Always ask for a price…. While it might be difficult to give an exact quote without seeing the door/issue, a genuine locksmith will always be upfront about an hourly rate and give a rough guide to prices of parts that could be required.
✅ Always try to ask for recommendations from street groups/friends who have previously had work done, and save a couple of numbers to your phone…. You may never need to use them, but you’ll be very glad you did in case of an emergency! 🚨

Called out to help a customer in Greystones, S11, whose rear door had become difficult to operate, even with the door open.
This usually indicates an issue with the locking mechanism or gearbox.
Unfortunately, these Mila Prolinea full locking mechanisms are now obsolete, but the central gearboxes are still available.
We replaced the gearbox, realigned the door and hinges, and got it working better than the day it was installed over 10 years ago!

30 yr old Ferco locking mechanism, cylinder and handles replaced for a customer in Woodhouse, S13.
They contacted us after their back door lock jammed and they couldn’t open it.
It turned out that the latch had sheared off from the connecting plate, meaning that it wouldn’t retract when the handle was pushed down.
New mechanism installed, along with a pair of Hoppe Frankfurt handles and an Ultion 1* Plus cylinder.
Good to go again for another 30 years! 😁👍

Tricky one to finish the working week off with.
This Steel Line roller shutter garage door had jammed after the locking mechanisms failed after 25 years of faithful service!
There was no other door to access the garage, and the customer needed to access the charge point for their electric car.
We manipulated the locking rods open, replaced the central locking mechanism, and got the door back in service ready for the weekend.

Whenever you decide to get a locksmith in to carry out work in your home, we always recommend that you ask the following questions before proceeding with any works…..

Is there a call out charge?
How much roughly will the work cost?
Do you need me to send any photos of the existing locks?
What type of lock will you be fitting? (All locks are certainly NOT made equal!)
Are you using genuine parts?
Is there any guarantee with the parts used?

Any genuine Locksmith will be glad you’ve asked all of the above questions, and will happily answer them, along with showing proof of insurance, DBS clearance, and membership of an approved organisation.

Don’t take unnecessary risks with your home security.
