Maximise Door Security This Home Security Month

28 October 2024

Esla Technik Pro + now available to you

With Home Security Month upon us and nights getting longer and longer, it’s the perfect time for locksmiths to focus on the importance of door security in protecting homes and businesses. Despite some positive trends, burglaries still pose a major risk across the UK, making strong, reliable locks essential for peace of mind.

The Burglary Landscape in the UK

Although burglary rates have dropped in recent years, they remain a significant threat. Let’s look at some recent data from the Crime Survey for England and Wales:

  • 76% of burglars enter through a door, often by exploiting weak or poorly secured locks.
  • 1 in 3 burglars gain entry by forcing the door lock.
  • The median cost to repair damage from a break-in is £300, while the median value of stolen items in home burglaries is £600.
  • 80% of victims report emotional distress after a burglary, whether it was successful or not.

These statistics show just how crucial door security is. Locksmiths like you help prevent burglaries by recommending and installing high-security cylinders, making homes and businesses harder targets for criminals.

A Smart Investment for Your Customers

In today’s security-conscious world, traditional locks can no longer guarantee protection against the growing sophistication of burglaries.

Our new ESLA Technik Pro + Cylinder System is specifically designed to defend against modern techniques such as lock snapping, bumping, and drilling making it the perfect cylinder for your customers.

Key Features:

  • High level of security: Rigorously tested against the most common forms of attack, the Esla Technik Pro+ cylinder system meets the highest BSI Kitemark TS007 security standards. Boasting hardened steel pins, anti-bump and snap-secure technology, you will offer your customers the ultimate peace of mind.
  • Patented until 2042: Technik Pro + keys offer homeowners top-level security with their patented undercut branch groove, which can only be made using specialised machines and a complex milling process. For extra peace of mind, the optional active element in the lock checks for the branch groove every time the key is used. If an illegal copy is detected, the lock blocks the barrel, preventing access and keeping homes secure.

A Smart Investment for You

For locksmiths, ESLA Technik Pro+ offers more than just top-tier security - it’s a long-term business opportunity. By becoming an ESLA Technik Pro + Cylinder Centre, you’ll secure a reliable stream of repeat business. How? You’ll have access to a key profile protected until 2042, meaning that you will be the only one authorised to cut keys for the cylinders you install.

Your unique centre number and company details will be engraved on your key blanks, ensuring customers return to you for additional keys, turning a one-off sale into an ongoing relationship.

This not only strengthens customer loyalty but also creates a steady flow of repeat key business, helping you to maximise your returns. By offering patented key profiles, you can stand out in the market and deliver lasting value to both your business and your customers.

Versatility Across Applications
If you often need to cater to a variety of lock requirements, ESLA Technik Pro + is also designed with versatility in mind. Available in euro, oval, thumb turn, Scandinavian/Norwegian, rim or Banham, it suits both residential and commercial properties. These cylinders can also be integrated to create master key systems, offering enhanced security for businesses and larger premises.
