HARDWARE& SECURITY
Homeowner turns to
Lock Lock reassurance
» » WHEN HOMEOWNER TIM
Morgan realised that multiple
houses on his estate were being
primed by unwanted intruders, he
turned to Lock Lock to secure his
home and more importantly, his
young family.
There is little to add to his
comment on Facebook: ‘What an
amazing product. Decided to install
these after multiple houses on our
estate were being tried for entrance.
Last night a neighbour had to chase
a burglar out of his house too.
Delivery was very fast (next day)
and they were easy to install (about
10mins each) and only needed a
screw driver. Feel extremely safe
now they are in place. Can sleep at
night again without worry.’
An increasing number of
door manufacturers are looking
towards Lock Lock, not only
for its unrivalled security
credentials, but also for the fact
that it has now reached 6,000
hours in a salt spray chamber
against the industry 240/480
standard. Leading locksmiths are
also carrying Lock Lock as the
ultimate security upgrade.
