Locksmiths Services to Keep Your Business Safe During Lockdown

Share this content

Since the introduction of local lockdowns in the UK, many people have had a major shift in their daily routines. This has had a significant impact on businesses, especially those located in areas with tier 2 and 3 restrictions. With less people on the streets and businesses such as pubs, shops and restaurants having earlier closing times, it opens the door for more discreet crime. 

Discover the locksmith services which can help to keep your business safe during lockdown in the blog below. 

CCTV Surveillance 

You may have noticed less people walking around during stricter lockdown periods, meaning there is less vigilance. Therefore, upgrading your security with CCTV surveillance will provide extra sets of eyes on your business premises. 

You can monitor your CCTV while you are on the go, as many modern systems can be connected to mobile phones. Any footage which is filmed can also be used in evidence if crime were to occur. As well as alerting you of any criminal activity, it can also assist with recognising any trespassers on your property after closing time. This can provide the reassurance many business owners need during this uncertain time. 

Lock Changes 

With many people becoming redundant during the coronavirus pandemic, the idea that this could lead to an increase in crime is plausible. If upgrading your locks is overdue for your business, consider it. By replacing old or worn out locks, you can strengthen your security to help protect from lock snapping, picking, bumping and drilling. 

At Gibb Locksmiths we highly recommend Ultion Anti Snap Locks for their reliability and strength. Being approved by the Police, British Standards and the Master Locksmiths Association, you can have peace of mind in the safety of your business. 

Key Cutting 

Many businesses have made the decision to divide their team into bubbles to work separate shifts to reduce risk if a member of staff begins to feel unwell. Therefore, with different people opening and closing the premises, having spare keys cut may be necessary. When delegating them to employees, keep a record of who has access for security purposes. 

Double Glazing Repairs 

Desperate criminals will try every possible entry way to your business premises to get what they came for. To improve security, cover all areas by checking your windows as well as your doors. By upgrading to double glazed windows our team can install sash jammers to help prevent your windows from being forced open. During the installation we can also replace handles and hinges so that they close securely.
