Burglars use blow torch is a far too common headline recently. There are various other methods that you encounter as a Doncaster locksmith where thieves try to get into homes but this article is about burglars use blow torch.
A method that thieves use to gain access to a property is to use a blow torch to burn through upvc doors. It is an unusual method and only works where the door hasn’t a reinforced panel or does not have three star rated locks.
The aim is to burn the handle to make lock snapping easier. Or, burn through the door. If you leave the keys in the lock, reach through and unlock it. I have seen instances where someone melted the outside panel and removed the glass. I as a Doncaster locksmith have only encountered it once and that was in Intake.
What would I recommend to prevent burglars use blow torch on your property. If you are considering a new door, composite doors are better. But, you can still use this method. It takes longer. Three star rated locks are a must on all doors. My opinion is if everybody did upgrade their locks, theft would become very difficult. Another option is to upgrade the handles to Pas 24 – 2 star rated versions. I like these handles but downside is it’s not possible to fit them to all doors. Finally do not leave keys in the back of doors, nor on view. Leaving car and house keys on view after going to bed is asking for trouble. Remember, thieves look for easy options. If they liked hard ones, they would get a job!
For more information on “burglars use blow torch” method and how to prevent it, call your local locksmith in Doncaster. I’m reluctant to put too many details on here for obvious reasons.
