Out With the Old, In With the New: A Harrogate Home Security Upgrade

Why Security Matters

At Lock Smithy Ltd Harrogate, we believe that feeling safe in your home is non-negotiable. Recently, we responded quickly to a customer who had an unsettling experience. Their Ring camera, an excellent tool for surveillance, caught footage of suspicious activity near their property in the early hours. This incident prompted a much-needed security overhaul.

The Job: Out With the Old, In With the New

Today's job was a classic "out with the old, in with the new" scenario. We removed outdated door hardware and replaced it with a complete, modern security suite.

The Ultimate Door Makeover: Black and Gold

The customer chose a beautiful and sophisticated combination of black and gold for their new door furniture. We fitted Brisant Secure Ultion TS007 2* Lever Lever UPVC Multipoint Door Handles in a stunning gold finish. Paired with a black door, this creates a high-end, elegant look that instantly elevates the home's curb appeal.

This choice wasn't just about aesthetics. The handles are a key part of the security system, designed to protect the Ultion lock cylinder and withstand tampering. To complete the look (and the security), we also installed the Ultion Sweet Multi-Layer Insulated Squared 12" Letter Box Letterplate, also in a matching gold finish. This robust letterbox not only looks fantastic but also prevents "letterbox fishing" and helps keep draughts out, making the home more secure and energy-efficient.

The Heart of the System: TS007 3* Cylinders

While the handles and letterbox are the first line of defence, the real security lies in the cylinder. We upgraded the customer's lock to the new ALPS Technology Euro Double Cylinder, which is British Standard Kitemarked and carries the maximum TS007 3* rating. This rating is a testament to the cylinder's ability to resist a full range of attack methods, including snapping, drilling, and picking.

By combining the 2 rated handles with a 3 rated cylinder, we created a formidable barrier that is a true deterrent to would-be intruders.

The Importance of Regular Security Checks

It's essential to regularly assess your home's security. Many people overlook the condition of their locks and door hardware. Over time, wear and tear can compromise your security. Regular checks can help identify vulnerabilities before they become a problem.

Consider scheduling a security audit with us. We can evaluate your current setup and recommend upgrades tailored to your needs.
