1. Are My Locks Really Secure?
Most Calne homeowners believe their existing locks are “good enough.” But the truth? Many standard locks fall short of modern security needs.
Ask yourself:
Are they British Standard approved?
Are they resistant to bumping or picking?
Were they installed by a professional?
If you answered “no” to any of the above, it’s time to chat with The Lock Wizard – Locksmith Swindon.
2. 
How Often Should I Replace or Rekey My Locks?
Rekey your locks when:
- You move into a new home
- A key has been lost or stolen
- There’s been a break-in or attempted entry
Replace your locks if:
- The lock is damaged or rusted
- You want to upgrade to a higher security level
- Your current lock isn’t insurance-approved
3. 
Should I Be Worried About Lock Snapping?
Absolutely. Lock snapping is one of the most common forced entry methods, especially on uPVC doors.
To protect your home:
Install anti-snap cylinders
Ensure they meet TS007 3-star or Sold Secure Diamond standards
Use a certified professional for installation
