Childproofing entry points
Locksmiths assist in childproofing homes by evaluating and reinforcing entry points such as doors and windows. They install locks and security features that are not only effective against intruders but also prevent curious children from accidentally wandering outside.
Specialised locks for child bedrooms
Locksmiths can install specialized locks on child bedrooms to ensure an extra layer of safety. These locks can be designed to allow easy exit from the inside while preventing unauthorized entry from the outside, offering parents peace of mind.
Window locks and latches
Windows are potential access points for children, and locksmiths install secure locks and latches to prevent accidental falls or unauthorized openings. This is especially crucial for homes with multiple stories.
Safe storage solutions
Locksmiths provide solutions for safe storage of potentially hazardous items, such as cleaning supplies, medications, or firearms. By installing secure cabinets and safes, locksmiths contribute to preventing unintentional access by curious children.
Keyless entry systems
Keyless entry systems, including smart locks, offer convenience and enhanced security for families. Locksmiths can install keyless entry systems that allow parents to control access, monitor entry logs, and ensure that children can safely enter the home without the need for traditional keys.
Child-safe door closers
Locksmiths install child-safe door closers that prevent doors from slamming shut, reducing the risk of injuries to small fingers. These closers are designed with safety mechanisms to slow down the closing speed and provide a gentle closure.
Education on child safety measures
Locksmiths actively engage with parents, offering education on child safety measures related to locks and entry points. This includes guidance on teaching children about the importance of not sharing keys, proper use of locks, and emergency procedures.
Emergency exit planning
Locksmiths contribute to family safety by assisting in the planning of emergency exits. They ensure that exit routes are easily accessible and that children are familiar with evacuation procedures, enhancing overall preparedness in case of emergencies.
Security audits for family-friendly homes
Locksmiths conduct security audits with a focus on creating family-friendly homes. They assess potential risks and vulnerabilities, providing tailored recommendations to address specific safety concerns for families with children.
Rekeying and key management
In situations where families move into a new home, we recommend rekeying to ensure that previous key holders no longer have access. This enhances overall security and eliminates the risk of unauthorized entry.
Child resistant cabinet locks
Locksmiths install child-resistant cabinet locks in areas such as kitchens and bathrooms to prevent access to potentially harmful substances. These locks are designed to withstand the curiosity of young children while allowing easy access for adults.
Access control for play areas
For families with outdoor play areas, locksmiths can implement access control measures. This may include installing secure gates and locks to ensure that children can play safely without the risk of strangers entering the premises.
Securing perimeter fencing
Locksmiths assess and reinforce perimeter fencing to enhance overall security for families. This includes ensuring that gates are securely locked to prevent unauthorized access to the property.
Child identification services
In collaboration with law enforcement agencies, locksmiths may offer child identification services. This involves providing families with secure solutions for storing important identification information in case of emergencies.
Collaboration with child safety organisations
Locksmiths often collaborate with child safety organizations to stay updated on the latest safety recommendations. This collaboration ensures that locksmith services are aligned with best practices for creating secure environments for families.
