Make sure you have good quality locks installed and they work as intended. Statistics show that it takes 75% of burglars less than 5 minutes to enter a property and around 4.4 % of homes in Western Australia will have a break and enter at some point. A cheap door lock from the hardware store is simply not enough security for your home or business to protect your loved ones and hard earned possessions, You need to ensure you have good quality deadbolts installed on all external doors this includes your garage to house. Always get your locks installed and checked by a qualified and licensed locksmith.

A home safe is one of the best investments a home owner or tenant can make for many reasons. For e.g Identity fraud, passports are not cheap, precious and sentimental items, a good quality safe is designed to be heavy and almost impossible to open. Safes can be used to store the following Passports, Cash, Jewellery, flash drives, cameras. For added security you can also get a fire safe to keep your documents and laptops in the case of a fire.

In most cases it is true you get what you pay for. Especially when it comes to locks and safes. When you purchase a home for 400k-600k, is your best choice to lock it with a $10 cheap lock? Would you be surprised if that $10 cheap lock didn’t withstand a burglar trying to break in? Locks are more affordable than ever, but what have they cut back on, in order to make the prices so low. Well the answer is quality for a lot of manufacturer’s. So you may as well throw your money away if you are going to buy a cheap lock and sacrifice quality and security for your home.

Us locksmiths have to gain entry to homes with cheap locks on them bought from the hardware store on a daily basis and yes they’re usually the easiest ones to open as there’s much more tolerances in them and the mechanics are loose. And as for the cheap hardware store deadbolts instead of being a solid brass bolt and solid components they’re often made with plastic and Die-Cast materials which is just not enough to stop a burglar from forcing your door open.

So we recommend getting your locks from your local locksmith as we only sell quality engineered locks that have been throughly designed and tested. Locksmiths won’t sell and warranty the cheap hardware store locks as we are the lock professionals and know they simply are not good enough for your security and safety.
