STOPPA THAT HOLIDAY THIEF
20 May 2006 - Autolok

Lock your garage even if it''s empty!

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 www.autolok.co.uk or contact the company on 0161 624 8171 for nearest
