We had an enquiry from a homeowner in Cambridge last week who wanted to monitor their back garden and be alerted of any intruders, they decided on our Ring Floodlight camera as they already had a Ring Doorbell.

Our engineer Gavin installed the lighting on the corner of the house and positioned the light so it would illuminate 2 sides of the house. The light was powered from inside the garage and we fitted a switch fuse spur so the light can be turned on and off and also isolated, plus the existing sockets remained free for our customers to use.

Our customer is now able to monitor any activity on their smart devices and any would-be intruders will be deterred as the lighting will be activated once they are detected.

Something a little bit different this week!

A customer in Huntingdon had lost the keys to their garden gate and wanted a new lock installed. Locks fitted on metal gates can be a little trickier to replace as they are usually welded into place, meaning removing the old lock is a more complex process.

Our locksmith Gavin started by grinding the welds on the lock housing to remove the old lock. With a few modifications, he upgraded the existing lock to a union BS3621 5 lever deadlock. The new lock has been secured in place with machine screws which have been tapped into the gate stile, meaning it will be serviceable in future and easier to change if needed. The gate is now ready for our welder to visit and secure new plates on either side of the lock. Another great job by Gavin!

We often find that perimeter security is overlooked, but we always recommend installing gate locks wherever possible, as this will deter any unwanted intruders before they reach your property. As well as locks we also install security lighting, CCTV, ring doorbells and intruder alarm systems, all of which can help put off any would-be intruders.
