Technology has been going up the ladder. These new technologies help families and employees feel much safer in their workplaces and homes. A new kind of technology lets people unlock a door by just entering a key. Of course this is not the latest of the technologies but still it is a god idea. For the first time when you are trying out one of these security measures this may be a safe option.

This is more convenient in letting people of the house or the employees in much faster as all they need to do is enter a key. This is something that needs to be appreciated than the fact that it can keep intruders out. This means you do not need to think of a place to hide your keys when you are out. You will not need to wait for long outside your door searching for your keys.

There are more additions to it than just the key. There also exists technology that can read cards to unlock. They also have devices that are attached to the key fobs. Fitting in keys into the lock will no longer be a problem you will need to worry about.

For people who own business, there is an added layer of security. This can be a requirement to let the employees in to the building. Pass out cards can be given to all employees with a unique number that can be identified easily at any point of time. There also needs to be a clear record of who entered the building at what time of the day.

Security is also something that is really needed. Security is more of a concern now that what it was much before. The unseen enemies can probably working with you or be right next to you and you will never know in these days. The bad boys do not always dress in black nor do they carry a sign board that proclaims their evil intensions. We will need to protect ourselves form the evils within as much as we are trying to protect them from outside. This device is useful as it helps the owner by letting him or her know of who is entering the building and also when they leave the building.

This kind of technology is available in today?s world. If you check on the prices you will find that the prices are not too much as the rates of the deadbolts and end door locks have also been going up in the recent. It is therefore recommended that you consider putting these systems into your home as well as business to add to the security.

An electronic entry system is something that you will need to look into if you are going to consider upgrading your security at home or even at your business. The benefits of these are far beyond what you will expect. This keeps a record of the people who enter the place and also when they get out of it.

There have been a number of reports in the press and on television recently about a weakness in the locks on UPVC doors. In some areas of the UK, notably West Yorkshire, Police are reporting that this weakness is clearly being exploited by thieves.

This is a growing problem throughout the country. No special tools are needed and a burglar can break these Euro Profile Cylinders in a matter of seconds and although we know the methods used, we will not disclose them in any detail, as a precaution against “copy-cat” burglaries.

This type of lock is commonly known as a Euro Profile Cylinder and is used worldwide on uPVC, PVCu, aluminium and some wooden doors. However secure or elaborate the multi-point locking mechanism is, it is the cylinder that is the vulnerable area. The cylinder is the part which allows key operation. If the cylinder is broken, the multi-point lock can be easily opened in no time at all.

All major Lock Manufacturers are working hard to find solutions to the problem.

At the moment, only two of the major lock manufacturers have come up with a viable a solution. Both Squire and Mul-T-Lock have designed a cylinder that still snaps, but it does so at a predetermined position which leaves the door secure. Mul-T-Lock have called their cylinders ?Break Secure’ and Squire’s range is called ?Snapsafe’

Although these new cylinders are not guaranteed against all methods of attack on uPVC doors, they act as a deterrent by making it much more difficult for burglars to gain access.

Some lock manufacturers, such as Squire and ERA, are approaching the problem by offering cylinder security devices or cylinder enhancers. These metal surrounds are secured to the existing cylinder underneath the door handle. ERA’s solution is particularly beneficial as it sandwiches the door and the cylinder in place, making it almost impossible to remove the broken cylinder.

Using these cylinder enhancers together with a Break Secure or SnapSafe cylinder probably is the most effective solution currently available.

To further reduce the possibility of forced entry, it is also of the utmost importance to ensure that a cylinder is the correct size and properly fitted.

A Euro Profile Cylinder should only protrude 2-3mm beyond the door furniture. Often, when cylinders have been replaced, the wrong size replacement has been used and this makes the door even more vulnerable.

It is a well known fact that burglars will always choose the easiest option!

To avoid becoming a victim of this type of forced entry, check all door cylinders and, if necessary, upgrade to ?Break Secure’ or ?SnapSafe’ ranges.

Always deadlock doors whenever a house is empty, and fit a door chain to the main door to use when you are at home. As an alternative to replacing the cylinders, consider fitting secondary bolts to uPVC doors in other parts of the house.

The most common method of car theft is when burglars break into houses and steal the keys, so make sure that any keys (particularly car keys) are hidden. Other easily removed valuables, such as jewellery, should not be left in exposed areas.

A safe is a useful addition to other methods of security and an ideal place to keep spare keys, passports, jewellery, cameras etc. These items are often not just financially valuable but have a great sentimental value which is irreplaceable.

For advice on all aspects of physical security, contact a reputable locksmith. If a locksmith belongs to the MLA (Master Locksmith Association), he has to have undertaken and passed an independently assessed BLI examination. Every approved Company has to undergo stringent, regular inspections to ensure that these high standards of workmanship and administration are maintained. As well, all MLA members conform to legal requirements and follow a customer charter which means that they are qualified and competent to carry out all aspects of the Locksmith trade.
