It’s all very well wanting to get the cheapest possible house insurance but are you sufficiently covered?
For those of you renewing your home insurance do you know that having all accessible windows and exit doors correctly fitted with the appropriate locks is an essential requirement?
You could fall foul of the small print when it comes to a claim if you do not have a five-lever mortice lock conforming to BS3621 on all exit doors and key-operated locks on all ground floor and accessible windows.
Many home owners are unaware of the type of multi point door locks they have fitted to many of their doors. They presume they conform so as a consequence they skirt over the question. Unless the householder is living in a newly built premise where the locks have been stipulated by the developer as being compliant with British Safety standards at the outset, it is likely you do not conform.
To ensure you do not encounter problems with any claim it would be advisable to check your locks to ensure they are compliant. UK Locks and Alarms are a 24 hour locksmith, Manchester based and can advise you on providing good home security services and will gladly assess your locks and either add to an existing locking system or replace them ensuring you are fully covered, tailoring them to your individual requirements.
Having a burglar alarm is not sufficient these days either, it needs to be regularly maintained and on a service agreement! If your alarm links to a security company or the police possible discounts are to be had!
