Warning for all home owners.
Brisbane residents urged to ensure their homes are properly secured with a deadlock this holiday season
Brisbane locksmith , Access Locksmiths, are keen to remind residents of inner-city Brisbane to fit deadlocks to prevent thieves from breaking into their homes during the holidays.
The Christmas period is a popular time for many Brisbane residents to travel and see family. This, however, makes it a popular time for opportunists and thieves to attempt entry into properties they believe are empty.
The holiday season frequently sees rates in crime spike due to the high chance of expensive gifts being stored in homes and the increased likelihood of families being away for the season, leaving an empty household behind.
A company spokesperson for Access Locksmiths said: "Every year we see a huge increase in home invasions during the Christmas break. An incident of this nature occurring at Christmas does not only ruin festive plans but can cause great financial loss for the victim."
Homes in Ascot, Newstead and Paddington are considered easy pickings for criminals if they do not have a deadlock. Homeowners should consider contacting a locksmith Brisbane-based, such as Access Locksmiths, to check the efficiency of their current lock whether they plan to be away for the holidays or not.
Before going away for the holidays, homeowners should secure their household. Access Locksmiths offer emergency locksmith services and can change locks at a short notice. Other safety precautions to implement include limiting who has access to any spare keys, locking all windows and using timed lighting to create the appearance of an inhabited house.
Residents who have already experienced a break in should have their locks changed as soon as possible. To prevent an intruder from entering their home again, victims of such a crime should get their locks changed in Brisbane by a reputable locksmith.
The company spokesperson added: "Modern houses are not guaranteed to have efficient locking systems. Locks that appear new and sturdy can be easily picked by advanced criminals. The only true way to ensure a house is safe and secure this Christmas is by contacting a reliable locksmith. A safe home is the best gift to give this year."
