Mul-T-Lock announces that it will be sponsoring the year 2020’s National Home Security Month (NHSM), to help raise awareness of home security amongst homeowners in order to drive business for local locksmiths across the country. NHSM is an annual campaign that runs throughout October and the year 2020 is themed: ‘You call it home, we keep it secure’. The campaign offers advice, breaks down technical jargon, and debunks security myths for consumers across the UK, all whilst helping to drive demand for security products and locksmith services nationwide.
Week one of the NHSM campaign is entitled: ‘You call it home, we keep it locked’, and focuses on the importance of locking solutions; educating consumers on how to stay up-to-date with relevant security standards. Recent statistics have shown that around 76% of domestic burglaries are made via a door, with a forced lock and an unlocked door being the top two most common methods of door entry1. This alone proves that there is more to be done to educate consumers on home security, especially when it comes to properly securing external doors of a property.
Experts at Mul-T-Lock are advising that to prevent unwanted access, homeowners should change locks as soon as possible after moving into a new home, and then again every five years, for added peace of mind. Mul-T-Lock is putting a big focus on consumers getting in touch with their local locksmith each time they want to change their locks – highlighting the cost and time saving benefits involved, as well as the unrivalled advice they would get from an approved locksmith’s extensive knowledge and experience.
Mul-T-Lock hope to use the NHSM campaign to keep homeowners informed on the best security products and practices, and when it comes to choosing which door cylinder to opt for, Mul-T-Lock offers the original, and the best. The brand is promoting its coveted Break Secure® 3DS anti-snap cylinder, specifically designed to help locksmiths meet consumer demand for high security locks.
Having excelled in recent tests, the Break Secure® 3DS has surpassed the British Standard Kitemark BS EN 1303:2015 test by over a million cycles, as well as meeting TS007 3 star standard and undergoing rigorous independent testing by the Master Locksmiths Association to meet the Sold Secure Diamond SS312 standard – offering the very best protection in lock security.
Claire Blakemore, Managing Director for Mul-T-Lock UK comments: “The Break Secure® 3DS cylinder offers locksmiths a key weapon in the battle against domestic break-ins. In fact, we are so confident that this product will provide maximum protection to a home, that we’re offering a full ten-year guarantee.”
