Recent security upgrades following spate of Burglaries

The SheffLOCK locksmith team have recently been upgrading residents security in the Swallownest area of Sheffield (technically covered by Rotherham Police officers) following a spate of burglaries in the area which has resulted in 28 recorded Burglaries having taken place since March 2020 to June 2020. For such a small area this was a real concern for local residents.

Our experience and advice is to ensure that when you become aware of Burglaries taking place in or around your area, that you immediately take the necessary actions to prevent burglary occurring.

ALL BURGLARY METHODS CAN BE PREVENTED.

Concentrate firstly on preventing how the current spate of burglaries are being committed e.g if the criminals are snapping locks, ensure you have police accredited anti snap locks Sheffield and Suited Locks installed.

This resident of Ivanhoe Mews, Swallownest has made the sensible decision to completely eradicate lock snapping burglary from occurring by having supplied & fitted to all of his external doors both the ULTION lock & LOCK LOCK security handles.
