Got an exciting holiday coming up? Keeping your home safe and secure while you're away is key to relaxing and enjoying your time off with peace of mind. Dr Lock It is here to help! Following these locksmith tips will help secure your home whilst on holiday. 


Home Security Tips

Lock all windows and doors


This may seem obvious but can easily be forgotten with the rush and excitement of going on holiday. Double-check that all doors and windows are locked before leaving. An extra measure to take is getting a second person to also check that everything is locked up. For any last-minute problems, we offer a 24/7 emergency call-out system. 


Upgrade your locks


Before going on holiday, check that all windows and doors are in good condition, including both windows and door mechanisms. Mechanisms include handles, locks, hinges, and other components that ensure smooth operation and effective locking. Dr Lock It can help replace any door and window mechanisms when they become worn or broken. 


You may also consider installing high-security locks for an extra layer of protection; the security of your home starts with reliable locks.  


Secure your valuables


Store all your valuables in a hidden and secure place, avoiding any exposure through windows to deter burglars. If your home is presented nicely with valuable objects visible through windows, your property will become a valuable target for burglars and invaders. We can help with any lock installations to help improve safety in your home. 


Don't advertise your absence 


Avoid posting your holiday online for everyone to see; wait until you return home to post all your holiday pictures. Avoid telling everyone about your absence, you don't want your home to appear empty.  


Alarms & CCTV


Home security systems are an excellent way to protect your home and deter burglars. Many systems are fully equipped with cameras, lighting, alarms, motion sensors and 24/7 surveillance. CCTV is a great way to keep a close eye on your property from anywhere in the world.
