Burglaries over the past 30 years have seen a sharp increase. Particularly in the London areas, locksmiths have found an increasing rate of bump keys being used. They are used to gain entry to properties with particularly old lock types. Residential and commercial property owners are urged to call A2 Locksmiths, part of the 24 Hour Lock and Key network to arrange a free home security valuation. There are also a number of other ways which thieves are gaining access to the properties. Poorly installed locks on UPVC doors have proved to be a particular vulnerability and locksmiths are seeing a number of wooden doors wedged open. Commercial locksmiths have also seen that offices without the necessary security locks and CCTV are being broken into during the early hours of the day.

Locksmith companies often also have to deal with automotive break-ins. One of the most popular ways of gaining access is simply to steal the keys through your letterbox. Using a simple fish-hook method, thieves are able to use a coat hanger to grab the keys sitting on the mantelpiece. A2 Locksmiths are also able to install letterbox protection systems which prevent this happening in the event you accidently leave your keys on display.
