As part of Neighbourhood Watch we received a free ERA sponsored security appraisal for our house.
Door locks are the primary deterrent and we had basic locks. To replace them we were quoted about £80+ per lock, fitted.
After lengthy research, we learnt how easy it was to break into a door with a lock that wasn't TS007 3* rated and it made us feel very vulnerable.
To remove your old lock and replace it with a new TS003 3* rated lock takes a few minutes. Any diyer with limited experience should find it easy to do and a simple search online will get you a video on how to do it.
The saving you make by doing it yourself makes this a home improvement that everyone should consider.
With keyed alike, you can replace your own and say a family members locks and you don't have to worry about carrying multiple keys all the time.
