How you can keep your home safe

Worried about home security? You’re not alone. Homeowners today are more concerned than ever about the safety of their homes, and it’s no wonder—76% of all burglaries occur through a poorly secured door, and 31% happen by forcing a lock. So, how can you protect your home and give yourself peace of mind? At Select Windows, we’re here to help you secure your home with the latest in high-quality locks and security features.

The Importance of a Secure Lock

Your door is your home’s first line of defence, and having a strong, secure lock is essential. At Select Windows, we recommend the British Standard 3-Star Maximum Cylinder Security Lock from ERA. This lock is independently tested to meet the latest industry security standards, offering you maximum protection against potential intruders.

What Makes This Lock So Secure?

Six Hardened High-Security Pins: These provide robust protection against common break-in methods like snapping, bumping, and picking. By securing the inner workings of the lock, this lock prevents intruders from tampering with the mechanism.
Anti-Snap Protection: The lock contains two sacrificial sections designed to break off if someone tries to snap the cylinder, leaving the inner parts inaccessible and keeping your home secure.
Anti-Pick and Anti-Bump Protection: With six trap pins and over 98,000 differs (unique key combinations), this lock makes bumping or picking practically impossible. Any attempts would take far too long to succeed, making it a strong deterrent for burglars.
Anti-Drill Protection: The use of hardened pins ensures that drilling through the keyhole becomes extremely difficult. The pins block a drill bit from penetrating the lock, providing another layer of maximum protection.

At Select Windows, we know that security doesn’t stop with just a lock. That’s why we offer additional security features to enhance the protection of your home:

Reinforced Hinges: Strengthened hinges prevent doors from being forced open, adding durability and protection.
