Following the assessment, we can suggest additional security measures to strengthen the entrances and exits of your home’s uPVC features.

Choosing the Right uPVC Lock:

Selecting the right uPVC lock is crucial for maximum security. We offer a variety of options to suit your specific needs and door/window type:

• Multi-Point Locking Systems: Highly recommended for uPVC doors, these systems engage multiple locking points along the door frame, significantly increasing resistance against forced entry attempts.
• Euro Profile Cylinders: These cylinders are a popular choice for uPVC doors. They offer enhanced pick resistance compared to traditional keyhole locks and come in various security grades.
• Sash Jammers and Restrictors: For uPVC windows, sash jammers and restrictors provide an additional layer of security by limiting how far a window can be opened. They’re particularly useful for ground floor windows and can be easily installed.

Beyond Locks: Enhancing uPVC Security

While locks are crucial, securing your uPVC doors and windows necessitates a multi-faceted strategy. Here are additional measures Ilford Locksmith recommends:

• Reinforced Door Frames: Flimsy door frames can be easily compromised. We can assess your door frame and recommend reinforcement options. This could involve installing metal security plates around the locking mechanism or reinforcing the door frame itself to deter forced entry.
• Security Hinges: Standard hinges can be a weak point. Consider upgrading to security hinges with anti-jemmy features designed to resist forced entry attempts.
• Security Film: Apply a layer of security film to your uPVC window glass. This specialized film increases the difficulty of breaking the glass and can discourage potential intruders.
• Visible Security Measures:Using security signage and strategically positioning security cameras can deter potential burglars.
