Clearview Door Panels - Preparing Your Home For Winter
Clearview is helping homeowners prepare for winter by replacing their back and front doors. Burglars usually target older doors because they are more difficult to force access through.
With our bifolding doors made from aluminium, Bromley residents can seamlessly connect their homes to the garden. The glazed panels serve as insulators preventing heat loss and transfer of cold.
Multi-point locking systems
A secure door is a key part of any home, and installing a multipoint locking system will increase the security of your home. Multipoint locks feature deadbolts at multiple points along the length of the door's frame, which is not possible with traditional single-point locks. This makes them much harder to gain entry into and could provide you with peace of mind that your home is secured from intruders who aren't yours.
Multipoint locks are made available by numerous manufacturers and can be used on french doors, single entry doors, and sliding doors. Some models have a central deadbolt or livebolt, as well as hook bolts on the top and bottom panels. These bolts can be locked using key or handle. The locking points are then rotated to create an airtight sealing.
The type of multipoint locking system that is the best for your home is based on various factors. Be aware of the level and type of security you require, along with the lifestyle and needs of your family. If you have young children for instance it is best to choose a lock that is easy to use for them but impossible for intruders to get with might be the best option.
Our high-security multipoint locking systems that are approved by insurance are a great way to increase your home's security. They also help improve energy efficiency by creating more secure seal against cold air and rain.
Sash jammers
Sash jammers have become an increasingly popular security feature for windows and doors. They are easy to install and are inexpensive. They can be installed on uPVC doors and windows that open inwards or outwards. The Jammer Arm can be turned to lock or unlock the sash.
They're a good burglar deterrent as they add an obstacle for burglars to overcome in their attempts to break into your house. They also prevent windows from being open in a forced entry scenario and protect your home from burglars who could make use of the window as escape routes if they are they were caught inside.
Sash jammers can also be used to prevent your uPVC window or door from being pulled by children, pets or other occupants. They can be easily put in and removed just by turning the handle, ensuring peace of mind for your family members.
You can pick between locking and non-locking jammers for sash. It is crucial to do your research before selecting the best one for you. Look into a model that has key locking, which is more secure and only accessible from the outside. If you're unsure of which sash jammer to choose, consult with a reputable locksmith. They'll provide guidance and suggestions to fit your home.
