You may have seen recent reports on television news or in the newspapers of a weakness in the locks on PVCu doors. The weakness is currently being exploited by burglars in most areas of the U.K.
This is a problem which is growing around the country; various methods are used by the burglars using simple everyday tools, allowing them to exploit an inherent flaw in the design of these Euro Profile Cylinders. The cylinders can be overcome in a matter of seconds and although we know the methods used we will not disclose these methods in any detail, as a precaution against “copy-cat” burglaries.
The lock in question is not of any particular make, but is the type of lock fitted to the majority of UPVC, PVCu and some wooden doors throughout the world, it is commonly known as a Euro Profile Cylinder. It is the part which provides
the key operation to the multi-point locking mechanism fitted to the door. No matter how secure or elaborate the multi-point locking mechanism is, if the cylinder is compromised the multi-point lock can be opened in seconds without
difficulty.
Currently there are limited products on the market to combat this form of attack. Two major lock manufacturers have produced a new design of cylinder which ensures the cylinder snaps at a predetermined position leaving the door still secured and requiring the use of the correct key to unlock the door.
Although this design of cylinder is still not 100% guaranteed to prevent all the methods of attack used on PVCu doors. It will prevent the most common methods slowing down the burglars attempts and making it considerably more difficult, therefore increasing the chance of him giving up.
In order to ensure you do not become one of the many victims of this type of forced entry review your current door cylinders now and consider upgrading your cylinders to the newly available ‘Break Secure’ or SnapSafe ranges currently available or fit an additional Cylinder Security Device or Enhancer to your existing cylinder.
Thieves use a variety of methods snap the UPVC Lock whilst still in the door, this then allows them to gain access to the locking mechanism, they then simply open the door as if they were using your Keys!
Simple - People want secure homes and property - this huge untapped market for installers to correct the problem - 22 million homes in the UK need this doing NOW and the product sells itself. Anyone who can use a few simple tools can set themselves up in business in less than a week.
Each job takes around 30 minutes to compete and you charge a flat rate of £50 per fitting - taking into consideration travel and parts cost you could easily make in excess of £400 per day - YES PER DAY!!
Because the opportunity is so huge there is no way I could even scratch the surface of fulfilling the need. You can set up in your local area and it wouldn't make the slightest difference to me.
As i mentioned above anyone who can travel and use a few simple tools can make this type of money.
