Holiday Security Checks
Keep Your Home Secure While You’re Away On Holiday
Heading off on holiday should be relaxing — not stressful. Unfortunately, empty homes are prime targets for opportunistic thieves.
At CJW Locksmiths, we offer professional holiday security checks to make sure your property is safe and secure while you’re away. Our locksmiths can assess locks, doors, and windows for weak points and recommend upgrades such as Lock Replacement Services, Door Lock and Handle Repair, and Home and Business Security improvements.
Advantages of a Holiday Security Check
Taking a few simple precautions before you travel can make all the difference. A holiday security check identifies vulnerabilities that could invite break-ins and ensures your home meets insurer standards.
Typical checks include:
- Door and window locks – inspected for damage or poor alignment.
- Garage and outbuildings – assessed for security weaknesses and upgraded where necessary.
- Alarm and lighting systems – tested for correct operation and deterrent coverage.
- Keys and access points – reviewed to ensure spares are controlled and properly stored.
- Emergency contacts – confirmed for local response while you’re away.
Our locksmiths can also provide Emergency Locksmith support if you need urgent lock repairs before departure.
Fast, Friendly Service
No Job Too Small
Professional Installation & Advice
DIY checks can miss small but important details. By choosing CJW Locksmiths, you’ll benefit from professional advice backed by decades of experience.
Our engineers ensure all locks are fitted correctly, with anti-snap cylinders, reinforced strike plates, and weather-resistant fittings. We can also integrate modern Safe Locksmith solutions to protect valuables while your property is vacant.
For extra peace of mind, we offer maintenance visits that combine UPVC Door Repairs, Garage Door Lock Replacement, and Window Lock and Handle Repair services.
Tips for Securing Your Home Before Travelling
CJW Locksmiths recommends:
- Ask a neighbour for help – to collect post or move bins to simulate occupancy.
- Double-check all locks – test every door and window before leaving.
- Use timer switches – to make lights turn on and off automatically.
- Avoid posting travel plans online – keep your trip private until you return.
- Secure sheds and garages – using high-quality padlocks and bolts.
- Close internal doors – to slow fire spread and limit damage in emergencies.
- Store valuables safely – use a Safe Locksmith service for jewellery or important documents.
- Check outdoor lighting – ensure sensors and bulbs are working before you go.
If you’ve recently been targeted or want to prevent future risks, our Burglary Repairs and Boarding Up services provide rapid, professional support.
