Like most densely populated inner-city areas, there will always be some crime. Petty criminals and opportunistic thieves are always on the look-out for an easy target – our locksmiths recommend taking certain, budget-friendly measures to ensure your home or business is secure. Always ensure your permitter fence and any street-facing doors and windows are latched and locked. Extra precautions, like deadbolts and window closers, are easy to instal and maintain. If you are looking to secure a retail space or office, then a wireless alarm system and CCTV cameras can act as good deterrents.
