High Security Deadbolts
When it comes to protecting your home or business in Salisbury, the right locks make all the difference. Many homeowners ask us: “Are high-security deadbolts really worth installing?” The short answer is yes—and here's why.
What Makes a Deadbolt High-Security?
Not all deadbolts are built equally. While a standard lock might keep your door shut, it may not stand up to modern break-in methods.
High-security deadbolts come with advanced protection features, including:
- Drill-resistant materials that block common forced entry
- Anti-pick technology that keeps out lock-pickers
- Bump-proof mechanisms that stop a known intrusion trick
- Restricted key profiles that prevent unauthorised key duplication
Together, these features provide a much stronger barrier against unwanted access.
Do You Really Need One in Salisbury?
You might feel safe living in a quiet part of Salisbury—and that’s understandable. However, we regularly respond to callouts in areas like Harnham, Laverstock, and Bemerton Heath after attempted break-ins. In many of these cases, burglars took advantage of older or poorly fitted locks.
If any of the following apply to you, upgrading could be a wise decision:
- You've just moved into a new home
- You store tools or equipment in sheds or garages
- You travel frequently and leave the house unoccupied
- Your current locks feel loose or outdated
In situations like these, investing in stronger locks could help stop crime before it starts.
Is It Worth the Cost?
Understandably, price plays a role in any home improvement decision. High-security deadbolts cost more upfront, but they offer long-term peace of mind. Unlike cheaper locks, quality deadbolts don’t require frequent repairs, and they’re less likely to fail when you need them most.
When compared to the cost of replacing stolen items—or dealing with the aftermath of a break-in—the upgrade quickly proves its value.
