Security for your home – Locksmith24/7.nl explains how

In short, time and again it has been proven that investing in home protection measures is wisely invested money.

After all, you should feel completely at ease in your own home and not worry that your own home is potential sources of danger that burglars could exploit.

There are several security solutions you can use to prevent a break-in and maintain your security.

You can benefit from mechanical, innovative and electronic security measures and thus feel good even when you are not at home but on holiday, for example.

When and how are burglaries happening?

Statistically, the number of burglaries in the Federal Republic of Germany increases regularly. According to the police, a building is broken into every 4 minutes. Opportunistic criminals are responsible for 80% of burglaries.

A spontaneous offender who takes advantage of an opportunity to break in will not observe the object of desire days in advance, but will break in when he thinks no one is home.

The good news is that most burglars do not notice that someone is in the house, so only 7% of burglaries happen when the burglars are present.

When it comes to time, burglars take it easy, breaking in between 8am and 10pm on average on weekends and during the day. Of course, not every burglar is successful, so 40 per cent of burglary attempts are considered unsuccessful.

The reason for this: security technology used in more and more households, among others.

Which burglary protection is the right one for my home?

So that you know where to retrofit your home with the right security technology as part of the burglary protection, you need to know the respective weak points.

Which window, door or other possibility would a burglar use to enter your home undetected? If you know these places, I can be systematically countered here.

How to prevent burglars from my home?

However, it is important to remember that burglars are not too picky.

They look for a building opening that is less visible and easily accessible.

Here, you can access openings in the basement, ground floor and also on the first floor.

Don’t make the mistake of thinking that burglars only penetrate your home on the first floor.

Using ladders, dustbins or a garage, one or two burglars have already entered on the first floor through windows.

In this case, you should prepare for all eventualities and rather install more security technology than you think is necessary.

What security technology can be retrofitted quickly and easily?

Many burglars enter a home by prying open the corresponding doors and windows and approaching the property undetected through a dark garden.

The following options can be retrofitted to your home easily and often for little cost:

Door lock & window lock against prying open

Door viewer & intercom

Automatic outdoor lighting with motion detection function

Alarm system
Video surveillance + outdoor camera

Safe for valuables

In addition, always lock your front door twice when leaving the house, close doors and windows and don’t leave windows open, never leave the key in the lock, never leave the key in the garage or outside, simulate presence and the Do don’t leave shutters closed when you are away for long periods of time, don’t leave an absence message on the front door or mailbox and install timers for outdoor lighting.

Lost mailbox key – now what?

If you have lost your letterbox key, this is not as bad as if it is the front door key or the car key of your car, but after all you want to take your mail and therefore open the letterbox.

 

→ A well-intentioned tip first: do not try to open the letterbox yourself or even break it open, as this can destroy it and it may not be possible to lock it afterwards.

 

Instead, you should decide between the following two options, or rather contact a locksmith directly, as changing a letterbox lock requires manual skill.

 

Overview

First option: reorder the letterbox key

Second option: change the lock of the letterbox

How does the locksmith open the letterbox lock?

 

First possibility: reorder the letterbox key

Some locks have a small key number on the letterbox key or the lock. This number can be used to order a replacement key from the manufacturer.

 

This key usually costs as much as a new lock, but there is no need to change the lock.

 

Second option: replace the lock of the letterbox

The second option is to replace the entire lock of your letterbox. The new lock costs only a few euros and can be easily installed by yourself. You can buy such a lock at a DIY store or online.

 

Of course, you should make sure that you choose the right size and measure the old lock beforehand. The average diameter of letterbox locks is about 20 mm.

 

In addition, make sure that the lock hook is not too short but long enough for the letterbox to close properly.

 

How is a letterbox lock constructed?

Basically, there are three different types of letterbox locks. There is the letterbox lock with a flat key that has prongs at the top and bottom, a letterbox lock with pins that looks very similar to a normal front door key but is slightly smaller, and the letterbox lock with a so-called bit key.

 

If it is a pin lock, a locksmith should be hired to open the letterbox and its lock. The alternative is to remove the letterbox and install a new one.

 

However, this is not so easy to do in apartment buildings where the landlord attaches importance to uniform letterboxes.

Burglary protection for windows – here’s what to look out for

Have you ever considered whether your home’s windows are burglar-proof? Statistically, it is still too often assumed that burglars enter a home through first-floor doors and windows. Just as often, basement windows or first-floor windows are used as entry points. So it is a good idea to read up on burglary protection and think about upgrading the doors and windows in your home.

Overview
– 1Why do I need to secure my windows against burglary?
– 2What options are there to secure windows with burglary protection?
– 3Locksmith 24-7  is at your service when it comes to burglary protection and security technology

Why do I need to secure my windows against burglary?

People who have already been victims of burglars because their own property was broken into and possibly not only material but also personal items were stolen, know that a burglary can affect the psyche.

Victims no longer feel safe within their own four walls and their living comfort suffers considerably from the burglary.

It is not uncommon for the lack of burglary protection and the attitude that one does not want to become a victim of burglars to be blamed for the fact that those involved come home one day and find the door or one of the windows broken open.

The shock is then deep and should therefore be avoided from the start by appropriate security technology.

What are the options available for securing windows with burglary protection?

According to police statistics, in 80% of burglaries, a window or window door is broken open, ensuring access to the property.

The police initiative “Politie Keurmerk Veilig Wonen” regularly provides tips and tricks to protect your own property from burglary and theft.

These measures do not always have to involve large sums of money.

But first, you should know that burglars will at least smash a window, as this causes a lot of noise. Instead, windows are much more likely to be broken.

Therefore, you need to invest in mechanical burglary protection so that the burglars already fail at breaking open the window and cannot continue their robbery.

You do not need to invest in new doors and windows immediately, it is enough to retrofit them, for example by installing lockable window handles, mushroom pins or screw-on security devices.

A door can also be retrofitted with a peephole, a trap lock or hooks.

However, it is also advisable to install suitable security film on windows and balcony doors, as they have a weathering effect. If these windows are smashed or smashed, the special film will hold the glass shards together and make breaking in more difficult.

If you want to protect your basement from burglars, we recommend suitable grilles or a locking bar as a method of defence.

Key turns in lock, what to do?

As locksmiths, we know all too well the everyday scenarios our customers are exposed to.

Getting the door open is the order of the day with us, but we are also happy to assist our customers with advice on special services and issues such as a key getting caught in the door lock.

Overview

• 1Why does the door lock turn?
• 2First aid measures if the key turns in the door lock:

Why does the door lock turn?

There can be many reasons why your door lock turns and the key no longer works properly.

In most cases, it is because a mortise lock is faulty and the key no longer finds a hold when unlocking and therefore turns easily without operating the opening handle.

In addition, the locking cylinder may be faulty and prevent the door from being opened.

Locks that are getting a bit older can often become porous due to rust, weather and extreme wear and tear and are then no longer easy to operate.

In most cases, you should refrain from repairing a simple mortise lock as it is cheaper and less time-consuming to fit a new lock.

First aid measures when the key turns in the door lock:

Indeed, it happens more often than you think that a door lock turns and just spins around when you try unsuccessfully to open the front door.

The following steps show you how to behave in such a situation.

If you have absolutely no idea what to do when the door lock is turning, you should seek the help of a locksmith like Locksmith 24-7.nl from the start.

This will save you a lot of nerves and time and you can rest assured that your door will be opened in no time and we will help you with the problems surrounding your lock.

The following tips are therefore meant for anyone who wants to first try to get a grip on the revolving door lock themselves.

In case a part of the key breaks off when opening the door, it is better to have a new lock fitted just to be on the safe side.

You can quickly replace this yourself if it is a simple mortise lock.

If it is a car lock and the car key turns in the lock, often the only thing that helps is to go to the workshop, which will order a new door lock and install it quickly.

Incidentally, replacing a simple door lock is less complicated than some may think, but you need patience and a little finesse to successfully remove and install the new lock.

Before you start removing the door lock, you should already have a new lock that can be installed immediately.

If you get stuck and cannot remove the lock, you still have the option of picking up the phone and instructing your Locksmith 24-7.co.uk to open the door.

We will make sure the door is opened, the lock is replaced and you can enter your own four walls again.

Sometimes, however, it does wonders to lubricate and oil the door lock once in a while and pay close attention to whether the key is stuck, turning properly or may already be bent or porous.

This will give you the opportunity to arrange for a replacement key and a new lock in time.

Remove broken key from door lock?

When a key breaks off in the door lock, those involved are often at a loss.

After all, it does not happen every day that a key just breaks off, but if you tighten it too tightly, it can happen quickly.

Locksmith 24-7  is an expert for all questions related to keys, door locks, door openings, security technology and Co. and is regularly commissioned to open the door when a key has broken off in the lock.

Overview

• 1How can a key break off in the lock?
• 2This is how to remove the broken key from your lock:

How can a key break off in the lock?

Basically, any key can break off in the lock if too much pressure is applied when opening it, this applies to the key of a flat door, a bicycle lock, a padlock or a tool shed.

Normally, all that remains of the broken key is the so-called key blade, which sits in the lock.

If this cannot be removed, the entire lock has to be replaced or you can hire a locksmith like Locksmith 24-7  to remove the broken part of the key.

We give you some tips and tricks you can use to try to remove the stuck part of the key yourself before hiring a locksmith to open the door.

This is how you remove the broken key from your lock:

For the following working steps, you need not only patience but also a lot of sensitivity.

For a key to be pulled out of the lock, it must be in a vertical starting position.

To bring the key into this position, you need to be particularly careful and cautious, otherwise the key can only slide deeper into the lock and it will be all the more difficult to remove the broken key itself.

The easiest way to get a broken key out of a lock

is to push the key out of the lock from the other side.

But beware: this method only works if you have a double-sided door lock and a second key for the lock.

In this context, you should leave a spare key with friends, relatives or neighbours beforehand, which you can access in this situation.

If you are handy, you can use a saw blade to push out the broken key.

The saw blade should engage accordingly and the key should be pushed out of the lock with a jerking motion.

You can also use a small, fine screwdriver to remove the broken-off key.

This is located at the bottom and should be pointed at one of the notches in the key blade so that the key can be pulled forward and grabbed with pliers or tweezers.

This process can also be done with a paperclip or needle.

If all else fails and you cannot manage to remove the broken key, the only solution is to hire a locksmith like Locksmith24-7.nl

We will take care of removing the broken key from the lock, replace the lock if necessary and make sure you can re-enter your house or flat in no time.

Just call us and we will send you a door opening specialist who will handle your personal request.

In case of emergency, we will be at your vehicle at short notice

You’ve probably experienced something similar: after a walk in the woods, you can’t find your car key and find yourself in a remote car park and can’t get into your car.

Or you accidentally locked the car key with the shopping bags in the boot after shopping in a hurry.

Car openings are typical cases for the locksmith. When it comes to emergency openings of car doors, we are at your disposal with our technical competence and reliability, even around the clock if necessary.

This does not always succeed, occasionally we have to open the door through a window. At Locksmith, we assure you that we are a reputable specialist company.

Our mechanics and precision mechanics are trained and experienced security professionals who would never intentionally damage your car door or destroy the door or ignition switch.

WE SUPPORT YOU WITH THE FOLLOWING CAR DOOR OPENING SERVICES:

• Opening car doors with a mechanical locking mechanism: Lockpicking is opening door locks with special tools. This craft requires great skill and must be learnt with patience. It is also necessary to know the different types of locks and opening techniques. Lockpicking tools can be ordered from various manufacturers, but by law, only reputable companies are allowed to do so. This regulation is very important to enable targeted “emergency opening” only for security companies and locksmiths like the locksmith. Car doors can also be opened damage-free using the tennis ball method, an air cushion or a wedge.
• Unlocking car doors with a keyless mechanism: this also happens: the key that normally unlocks the car via the radio simply no longer works. Or it got lost. What to do. As locksmith experts, we emphasise that the entire mechanism remains intact when the door is expertly opened by a reputable locksmith.
• Broken key in ignition or car door: Annoying: after a hard day’s work, you want to get into your car and drive home.

If you try it now with increasing pressure and extra shaking, you risk breaking your key. If this happens, call locksmith – our locksmith service will help you quickly and easily.
• Broken ignition switch: As soon as you notice that your key is stuck in the lock, it is important to stay calm. Careless or hasty attempts to open the ignition lock yourself often end in a broken key. A stuck key is an annoying problem, but it is no cause for concern when it first occurs. We are happy to help you with our key assistance service in this tricky situation and make sure you can drive again.

Locksmith near me for car opening?

There are many reasons why keys can be left in the car.

It can be annoying for a driver if he was not paying attention for a moment and the keys were already forgotten in the car while the car was locked.  

The important thing in this case is to stay calm and not take any hasty measures to get the key into the car or open the car door without a key – it can save you a lot of trouble and money and maybe even save your car .

The most common thing that happens is that the key is locked in the car by letting it in and the car locks.

If you do not notice in time that the key is locked in the car, for example hidden in a coat pocket and left in the back seat, you definitely need help.

Before you go as far as breaking the glass of your car, we can help you and tell you what you can do. There are many ways to recover your car key if it is in the car.

A second key for the car

 

Every car should have a second key. This prevents many problems. If the key you actually use is left in the car, you only need to take out the second key.

With this, you can open the car and get into the car and thus get to the other key.

The problem with this, however, is that the second key is usually safely tucked away at home and you need it somewhere far away.

And how should you know you are going to forget the key in your car at this point and need the second key for your car? what can you do now

Should you find yourself in the situation where the key was left in the car while driving, you may want to ask a family member or friend to bring the key from home.

Of course, you need to know exactly where the key is so you can explain it over the phone. Unfortunately, this is not always the case.

If you cannot have the key delivered or otherwise get the key, you need to find other ways to access your vehicle.

You can also go to a repair centre near you and describe your problem with the car and the key. Then you will have to pay for the service, but at least you will soon be able to use your car again.

Call the car manufacturer

Call your vehicle manufacturer before trying to “force” the door. He may know better what to do and can give you advice on how to open the car if the key is inside.

Of course, in such a case, you must also be able to prove that the vehicle belongs to you. Only then will you get the necessary help if you have forgotten the key in the car.

On the phone, explain where the key is and describe your situation in detail so you can get the help you need and figure out what to do.

 

Call in a locksmith if you forget the key in the car

 

If the key is locked in the car, you can also hire a professional locksmith who will open the car for you damage-free by unlocking the door. The locksmith will help you get the key into the car.

If your vehicle is not that old, it will be difficult to open it with tools without damaging it. As a rule, only a visit from a specialist will help.

Professional locksmiths, car clubs or workshops can open the car without damaging anything, even if the key is not at hand because it is safely stored in the car.

However, this can get expensive, especially if you are not a club member. So it makes sense to ask about prices right away.

Some advertisements for locksmiths start as low as 12 euros. It is advisable to search the internet for cheap offers nearby.

The nice thing about such services is that you don’t have to do anything yourself. The service does all the work. Don’t despair if the key is locked in the car. There are many ways to get to it. You are sure to find one that suits you.

 

Car repair workshop if key forgotten in car

 

Another option if the key is locked in the car is to seek professional help at a nearby car repair shop. Branded workshops often have master keys suitable for different vehicles.

This allows you to open your car even if your car key is not available at the time. Because even if it is within easy reach in the car, it is of no use if the door is locked. There is also almost immaterial.

More complicated are car keys, which have high-tech encryption. Because the transponder deactivates and encrypts the immobiliser. If such a high-tech key is lost, it has to be recoded.

And only the vehicle manufacturer has the necessary data for this. So if your car’s key is left in the car, Roadside Assistance will quickly open the door for you, and often without causing any damage.

The car club helps if the key is in the car.

 

Should the key be forgotten in the car, you can also contact your car club. If you are a member of a car club, this is usually paid for by the club.

However, some clubs require you to have a PLUS membership to complete this process. Otherwise, you will have to pay when changing the key or use air cushions and rubber wedges to open the car.

Professional locksmiths and car clubs unlock the car door damage-free, even if the key is missing or locked in the car. However, if you are not a club member, this becomes more expensive.

Open the car with a tennis ball

 

The list of things to do when the key in the car has been broken in goes on and on. In particular, door locks in old cars are vacuum actuated. With this technique, you can use small lifehacks that require little knowledge.

If the key to such cars is left inside, all you need is a tennis ball. This has a hole in one place that can be placed on the door lock. You can easily cut the hole with scissors or a knife.

Place the square on the lock. The key now is to press or hit the tennis ball as hard as possible. In many cases, this should be enough to make the lock pop out. However, this only applies to older vehicles. When you press it or hit it, air is pumped into the locking mechanism and the air pressure changes. This causes it to pop up.

Open the car with a wire if the key is in it

 

Even if the key is in the car, a simple metal wire can help. However, this technique can only be used if the car’s side window (or roof) is a small opening. First, you need to find a wire long enough to go from the small opening to the nearest doorknob. This could be the opposite door, or the door with the opening slot.

 At one end of the twist, form a small loop suitable for attaching the door handle. Now it takes some patience and skill to manipulate the wire through the interior of the car and get to the door handle. Catch the handle with the loop and open the door. After completing this process, you can open the locking mechanism even if the key was not available,

Blood pressure cuff helps open car.

 

There is another way to open the car door if the key is left in the car, which also works in newer vehicles. All you need is a blood pressure cuff and a long, narrow tool. With the narrow tool, you first need to open the car door ajar, just big enough for the boot to fit in.

A lever might help you here. You can also use plastic tools if nothing else. The car door should now be opened about 2 cm by blowing up the cuff. Then you need a long, narrow tool again, as in the first method. It is best if it is a metal hook. The tool should now be inserted. Operate the door release mechanism in the car.

 When you see where the key is, you can fish for it and take it out. This is easiest if the key is on the chair.

You need to be careful with this too. If you open the door too far this way, it may be damaged. The hinges may be bent.

Key can be replaced by wire and loop

 

This technique applies only to protruding door handles. If the knob disappears when locking the door, you cannot use this technique.

To open the car door when the key is in the car, you need a thin wire at least a metre long. Make a loop in the middle of the wire. As soon as the cord is pulled, it should crimp.

Now place the rope in the top corner of the door. Try pulling the cord with the loop on the door frame until the loop can be seen inside the car. Now place the ring on the door handle. Once the door handle has landed in the loop ring, pull the other end of the string.

The loop shrinks and encircles the knob. Pull the rope again sharply and vertically to move the door handle upwards. With luck, you can open the closed door and get into your car without a key.

The new security system – what to do?

 

In short, it is important to note that the new locking mechanisms on cars are no longer as easy to open as in past decades. Only those who have accidentally entered the key will experience this as a short-term disadvantage.

But behind that are extra security measures to protect expensive cars from theft, so they cannot be opened so easily if the key is not present.

Systems like Safelock are widely used in the vehicles of major manufacturers and are considered absolute advances in the industry and also offer new opportunities for consumers.

Note that you may also be mistaken for a burglar yourself during the action. So be prepared to ask one or two questions. Therefore, you must be able to prove that you are the owner of the vehicle.

In this way, ambiguities are also clarified immediately.

Despite everything, it is worth opening the door yourself if the key is forgotten, as this will also save you a high bill.

When in doubt about your powers.

Not everyone and not all cars dare to open the door themselves if the key is not present or in the car.

If you forgot your car key in the car and the door is locked, and now you do not dare to open the door yourself, contact the professionals.

If you approach the matter with doubt, you may get many things wrong and the consequences will be more costly.

You can reach the locksmith anywhere in Germany 24 hours a day and always get the help you need.
