STOPPA
THAT HOLIDAY THIEF
Lock your garage even if it's empty!
(Release date: 16 May 2006)
PLANNING
a Spring holiday or even just a day out? Then don't forget to
lock your garage - even if it is empty! Just over half of burglaries
occur when no-one is at home and many garages provide access to
the house, giving cover for thieves to break in at their leisure.
"Most
people are careful to check their house is secure when they go
out, but many forget their garage," pointed out Dave Brearley,
managing director of security specialists, Autolok.
With
garages frequently used as a storage extension to the home, thieves
can often find all the tools they need to break into the house
as well as bikes, garden furniture and sports equipment.
"Many
garages are fitted with only a basic level of security that can
be breached in seconds - and some people don't even bother with
that!" added Dave. "Fitting additional garage security,
such as an Autolok Stoppa, could be a
small price to pay to help keep the thieves at bay. "
Costing
just £29.99, the Stoppa is suitable for both metal up-and-over
garage doors and the roller shutter variety. Supplied with a free
fitting kit for easy DIY installation, it has a rigid security
arm which rotates at the turn of a key to secure firmly into its
own base plate, effectively bracing the garage door against external
attack.
For
additional security, a strategically placed security
post will keep thieves out and your car or bike securely inside
your garage. Removable, fold-down and telescopic posts are available,
with the latter able to be fully submerged into the ground to
fit flush with the surface.
If
you have specialist tools, bikes or lawn mowers it may also be
worth investing in a good ground anchor and chain to keep them
secure inside the garage. The Sold Secure approved Autolok Hardie-Secure,
for example, will withstand over 8 tonnes of force!
The
Autolok Stoppa, Hardie-Secure and a wide range of security posts,
chains and padlocks can be bought direct from the Autolok web
site at http://www.autolok.co.uk or contact the company on 0161
