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. www.ultion-lock.co.uk HIGHLIGHTING THE IMPORTANCE OF SECURITY » » SPECTUS TRADE FABRICATOR, Universal Trade Frames has been highlighting the importance of security for some time.
