A customer in Magor, NP26, rang our Newport Locksmiths as they wanted to upgrade the security on their front composite door.

After an initial inspection, we suggested the customer should have a pair of Brisant 2 star high-security handles fitted. These handles have a good security rating as they are curved on the edges to stop wannabe burglars from getting a good grip on them. Also, they come with a cylinder security curtain to resist a drill being used, and finally, the inside has a unique “Snib*” function to allow the customer to just “Snib” Lock it and not always have to use a key.

If you would like advice on your lock security, please contact Nick, our friendly local locksmith in Newport on 07595 431870.

*Snib – this is a small lever on the door lock that manually operates the lock catch to lock and unlock the door.
