• Clean a rusty UPVC door lock immediately

  Use mils and safe rust remover. If the problem recurs, use special coating or seal to protect the lockset. It’s important to cover all areas apart from the cylinder and the bolts.

• Hanging Keys on Doors

  Some owners tend to hang keys near the door for easy access and to prevent losing them. However, if it's easy for you to access the keys from the window next to the door, that's also how easy it is for others to obtain the keys and open the door to your house without permission.
