Heat wave in July, stop the burglars and lock your windows.
We are in a July heatwave and once again we are seeing a rise in burglaries local to the Chepstow and Caldicot areas.
Why ?
Because you are all leaving your windows open and the thieves are capitalizing on this summer weather.
Did you know that most burglaries occur between the hours of 9.00am and 4.30pm weekdays ?
And that shockingly nearly half of burglaries committed are spur of the moment and are opportunistic.
In over 25% of cases someone is at home when they enter your house during the day.
Mort burglaries happen in a matter of a few minutes, they simply enter check the obvious locations for personal belongings and jewellery and are gone.
They will be in and out within 5 to 10 minutes, long gone are the days when big ticket items like televisions and dvd players were being stolen they are after credit card,s car keys, jewellery etc.
What can you do to prevent this ?
Lock your larger downstairs windows, with the correct handles fitted you should have a key to lock them and just use the smaller opening casements.
By locking the window handles it prevents a potential thief from leaning through a smaller window and opening the larger one to gain access.
Use the upstairs windows to get air flowing through, of course you need to chain up ladders securely or keep them locked away.
If you want to leave front and back door's open then fit security chains this will allow you to leave the door slightly open but prevent access by intruders.
This will allow cooler air to flow through and still be secure from unlawful entry.
Paul Easton Locksmiths can replace window handles that you don't have keys for and fit security chains, if you go to our page index and look for www.pauleastonlocksmiths.com/door-and-window-handles where you will find all the information on replacement window handles.
Typically window handles are around £12.00 each to buy and we would charge between £45.00 to £65.00 for fitting in the Chepstow and Caldicot areas for up to 6 handles.
Which means you could have all the downstairs ones replaced with new locking handles for £65.00 plus however many handles are required.
Security chains are relatively cheap considering the extra security they provide retailing at around £6.00 to £10.00 each plus fitting,
you could have front and back door chains supplied and fitted for £85.00, this includes supplying and fitting them.
