Door chains when added to a door restrict the door opening so you can answer the door without fear of letting the person in if you dont want to. Once you are ok with who is at your door you can remove the chain. They are available in a wide range of styles and finishes to suit your property.
Mortice Bolts
Mortice or rack bolts are fitted to front and back doors. They are very effective. Similar to mortice locks they have a bolt which is internal in the door frame. They are very strong and cannot be removed when the door is shut. You have to use a key to lock and unlock them. It is generally recommended to fit two per door.

Shed and Garage Locks
Garden buildings, sheds and garages are often not as secure as they should be and owners are also unaware of how much of a security risk they are. It is important to have secure outbuildings to prevent theft, protect tools and garden equipment and also to prevent burglars accessing tools they could use to break into your home.
Garages adjacent to property or built in to the ground floor can also be access points for burglary.
