Christmas Cheers or Christmas Tears; Keep Your House and Belongings Safe Over the Holiday Season

(PRWEB UK) 30 November 2011

With the holidays fast approaching and homes are filling up with presents IronmongeryDirect urges homeowners to ensure that window and door locks are in good working order and secure.

Home Office statistics show that 71% of burglars target the doors of a property, usually by forcing a lock. Ensuring that door and window locks are in good working order is essential for maximum home security.

The risk of forced entry is significantly reduced by upgrading lock cylinders to the newly-available ‘high security’ ranges from major lock manufacturers. Look for a five-lever mortice lock that is kite marked to at least BS3621. Another benefit to tighter security is reduction in insurance costs. Installing the right lock may reduce your insurance premiums; consult your policyholder for more details.

IronmongeryDirect, the UK’s largest online and mail order trade supplier of ironmongery products, stocks an extensive range of door locks, latches and security devices including high-security door cylinders containing anti-bump, anti-snap, anti-pick and anti-drill features to help secure the home.
Customers can order from GAI (Guild of Architectural Ironmongers) trained staff who can assist with providing any technical support or advice.

Simply place an order by telephone, fax or email, or online up to 7.30pm for fast next day delivery. Order by 11.30am on Sunday, and, as products are kept in stock, Monday delivery can be accomplished with ease. In addition every single product is covered by a no-quibble guarantee, making returns and exchanges fuss free.
