On-the-go Locksmith Tips

Kyox Locksmiths of Wakefield Recommend

Our experienced local experts have selected and carefully checked vital pieces of advice for you on how to protect your home or office and make it a safer place.

We are pleased to be able to offer you some other brilliantly simple ideas from Kyox Locksmiths of Wakefield, your trusty locksmith in Wakefield, that can make a huge difference to your security and safety in general:

• The use of electrical timers that function as independent switches that can, once programmed, turn indoor lights on and off, even when you are not in your home.
• Why not add some crunchy gravel around your home? It is a great deterrent, unless you live in a flat, since a burglar can no longer use the art of stealth to approach silently thus alerting you to their whereabouts.
• Plant spiky shrubbery so that would-be thieves cannot lurk in or behind them.
• While it's commendable to recycle, are you inadvertently advertising expensive wares recently purchased? Make sure when you dispose of the packing from luxury items that you don't leave them outside for long periods of time, either wait until collection time or take them to a recycling centre yourself.
• By simply fitting a chain or latch to your door Kyox Locksmiths of Wakefield can enable you to check who your visitor is before letting them in. Another great idea is to ask us to add a small viewer as well so you can establish a visual of your potential house guest.
• It's curtain time! Regardless of whether you're in or not, don't allow that potential burglar to see right into your home, especially after dusk, when you have turned the lights on and the outside, is dark. Why not simply add some form of window dressing for extra privacy and obscure potential loot!
