Home security is an essential worry for homeowners up and down the country, and everybody wants a home that is safe and secure for themselves and their loved ones. Home security is not new, and from the earliest days of human civilization people have looked for clever ways to protect their people and their possessions. These days home security is just as important and there has been a country wide increase in the use of electronic and hi-tech security features on homes and business premises. Closed circuit television cameras, automatic spotlights, motion sensors, alarms and electronic locks have all become accessible to private customers. These modern features are helpful in deterring and detecting crime, but homeowners need to remember that sometimes the simple answer is the best.
Really, the best way to secure a property successfully is to use solid, secure door and window options that can be locked easily and don’t offer opportunistic criminals an ingress. A properly working, secure and solid door handle is a simple but effective mechanism that is essential to basic home security.
The Modern Door Handle
The weakest points on a door or window are the mechanisms, both the hinges and the door handle. Modern door and window designs in uPVC or solid wood are often designed to make sure that these points are not accessible to assailants, and that they are secured against tampering. Door handle and hinge design has seriously changed the way house breakers view a potential target property.
Modern uPVC door handle designs are incredibly clever, and, particularly for external doors, tend to be fitted with a five points of contact system which secures the door all the way up the side, not just at a single point. This secures the door better and spreads external force through the frame rather than focusing it through a single point making it much harder to open without using the door handle.
Because modern door handle technology has progressed along with other forms of home security, door handle repairs are not as simple as they used to be. This is not a problem though as there are plenty of specialists who can offer reliable, high quality door handle repairs. Read on for the best door handle repairs in North London.
