We are still providing a 24 hour service subject to client circumstances and will follow all current government guidelines to keep everyone safe. Also we will discount our services to NHS staff if they show us their work ID. The Chief Constable for West Yorkshire Police told the Examiner that homes were at risk because it just took a matter of seconds to disable the locks.
He said police had not wanted to draw attention to the issue up to now because they did not want to alert criminals to the security weakness. But he said the practice was becoming so commonplace that the public needed to be warned. Over 22 million doors across the UK could be at risk from a method of attack where the lock cylinder can be broken in just 5 seconds.
MY Lock Locksmiths recommend that all vulnerable doors using euro-cylinders be upgraded to incorporate 'Break Secure' cylinders.
