Quite often outbuildings including garages and sheds are over looked from a security point of view, also when we move into a new home we often receive spare keys for the house but frequently not the external buildings.
We are frequently called to change the locks of a property by a new owner who has been advised to do so as it is unknown who still has a key to the property. If this does not include the outbuildings we will always enquire regarding the secuirty status of any other buildings on the property.
This is not because we are after extra work! This is because we know many people keep valuable items in their garages, sheds and outbuildings and we are aware intruders taget these vunerable areas during the winter months under the cover of darkness where they are unlikely to be disturbed or noticed.
If keys are left by the previous owners, we have often found there has been a deterioation of the lock. We can repair, change or upgrade the lock accordingly. If we feel your situation would benefit from having CCTV added we will say so and you can decide whether you would like us to add this too.
We changed another garage door lock in Warrington last week, followed by two separate jobs in Preston where we secured a side gate and a shed. We finished off in Northwich where we replaced a faulty lock to an outbuilding.
