London, UK, OCT 3, 2015 – A BBC news article dated 13 August 2014, reported that a 55-year-old Wimbledon resident learned the desperation of thieves when he found himself on the receiving end of a brutal burglary. Fortunately for him, Wimbledon police responded quickly to the scene apprehending two of the three intruders. In order to help London residents out with this, Locked-out LockSmiths (www.lockedout-locksmiths.co.uk) has just published a new blog post authored by Brendan Connolly entitled 'Door or No Door, Expert London Locksmith Reiterates Home Security'.
According to the article, 'Property protection falls in the hands of the owner himself. Even when he loses the front door to a previous forced entry, he must take the proper steps to thwart future burglary attempts.'
“Boarding up the door is the best quick solution,” states Connolly. “Plywood is the ideal material for boarding up due to its high impact strength. Despite being a series of layered thin sheets of wood and glue, plywood finds strength in its flexibility. It flexes to help absorb much of the energy from a burglar forcing his way in, either by kicking or throwing his weight.”
The article relates that 'An expert London locksmith, upon request, can turn plywood boards into temporary, working doors. Installing hinges and locks are part of the plan, giving added protection to the temporary door while you sleep through the night.’
“It may seem like it's obvious,” stated Connolly further, “but it pays to know basic home security measures. Peepholes are an important part of the door since it allows homeowners to look at people on their front door from the other side. If it’s someone you don’t know, you have the option not to open for them.”
