Use all of the tips provided below to have perfectly working locks and keys
As a responsible property owner, you want to keep all of your assets as secure as possible. The following tips in the locksmith field are designed to help you with this. They cover a variety of topics related to locks and keys and other widely used security devices.

Assess a multi-point lock’s resistance to forceful attacks
For this, you should pay close attention to the locking points. The bigger and thicker they are, the better. Their number is also quite important. A double bolt lockset will certainly give you greater security compared to a model with a single bolt. Both the lock and the strike receiver must be made of heavy-duty metal. Remember that brass and steel are the best options.

Clean your UPVC door locks at least once a year
Use a cleaner safe for metal or a bit of lemon juice to scrub the area around the cylinder. The handle and strike receiver require cleaning too. Remove any dust, lint and debris stuck inside the receiver’s hole.

Don’t Leave Keys in the Door
Some people have this habit of placing their keys in the door locks or near the window. Avoid doing this because burglars could easily reach them and have access to your place. Put your keys somewhere safe so only you have access to them.
