The song says that this is the most wonderful time of the year and for the most part this is very true. It is the season of goodwill to all men, families get together, gifts exchanged, the song and wine is flowing and Mary Poppins is on television but unfortunately outside of this idyllic bliss there lurks the downside.

Thieves!

This time of year is all go for retailers, the exchanging of gifts is a tradition upheld in western society and the rush to find the perfect gifts for loved ones means that the shops are busy as the end of the year approaches. This means that stores are filled with bodies making it harder for the staff and owners to keep an eye out for the light fingered.

High end goods are the target for thieves as they can get the most return on them, if you retail high fashion or electrical goods you are a target for both the opportunist thief and the career criminal and it is the later that will do most damage, damage you may not realise until the end of the day or even until you do a stock take.

Take a high end clothing shop which purveys coats in the region of three hundred to two thousand pounds, a coat is easy to conceal, security tags can be removed with some wire snips or a simple curved metal tool; some even just removed the tags and the security tag and pop the coat on and walk out and with it hundreds of pounds of your profit.

Lock Alarm is easy to use and will deter thieves from even attempting to take your merchandise. Simply thread the cable through the coats,bikes,electronics,tools and once the ends meet and are secured the alarm is set. If the Lock Alarm is forcibly tampered with an alarm will sound measuring 120 decibels attracting your attention and everyone else's too!

You career thief is your biggest threat; the good news is that these people know that products protected by Lock Alarm are not on their shopping list this Christmas.

Home Security

For any home owner security is one of the top priorities both inside the property and the surrounding land. There are steps we can all take to deter thieves from entering or trying to enter our homes but there are those who will get in any way they can even when an alarm is sounding; they will rush in and grab what they can, the same as a smash and grab tactic used by criminal to rob shops.

It is for these times that the Lock Alarm product range comes into its own. Let us say that a thief has gotten into you home and is on the look out for a laptop or console, something they can sell that is not too heavy to carry when getting away. Normally these items would be open on the table or somewhere easy to access, the thief has no trouble removing it in literally seconds and they are off with all your personal data including passwords and login details. If you secure such items with a item specific Lock Alarm product the likelihood of that item being left or even ignored altogether increase significantly.

Burglars know their playing field, you can bet that (for want of a better descriptive) the best burglars will have heard of Lock Alarm and therefore they will know that the locks are superior and tough to break, and even if they are cut a 120 decibel alarm will sound which, if the house alarm is already going off means that they are wasting time and attracting more attention.

We have a comprehensive range of home security products for bikes, laptops, pc's, luggage, motor vehicles etc. You can view the Lock Alarm range by clicking this link

Are you travelling abroad this year? Maybe you will be taking advantage of the strong pound against the dollar in the USA this Summer, or in the Autumn for some bargains when doing your Christmas shopping. Whatever your reason for going broad be it a well deserved holiday, business or shopping ; your personal effects and your purchases made when away from home are potential targets for the opportunist thief.

It is unfortunate that our bags and laptops are constantly going missing from hotel rooms, airports and even when snatched from our hands, but it is also a fact, it happens and we need to take steps to deter thieves from taking our belongings.

The travel alarm lock has been developed as its name suggests for use when travelling on the road, by sea or by plane; wherever and whenever you go away from home the travel lock alarm will notify you or those in the vicinity when tampered with.

Standard luggage locks in reality are no deterrent, in fact many of the luggage locks that you can buy at the airport and be removed with a little brute force. Our luggage travel locks are hard to remove and guarantee to attract unwanted attention to the theif.

Bicycle Lock

The original Lock Alarm is the award winning security product which can be used at home and when you are away to deter thieves from procuring what is yours 24 hours a day. It is no always possible to have everything you own securely housed in the home, some things like outdoor furniture, motorcycles and gardening equipment (lawn mowers, power tools etc) live in the shed or garage where thieves can get at them. Most people do not have an alarm fitted to the humble garden shed but do have sometimes thousands of pounds of equipment stored inside, rip for the picking by the opportunist thief.

Sports equipment is high on the list of items which are easy to steal and sell on, mainly we hear of bicycles being stolen. Think about it, the unsecured bicycle is the perfect item to steal; all they need to do is get on and peddle like crazy to get away. Then they can either, strip the bike down and sell the parts on, sell the bike whole, or we have heard of people stealing bikes, removing the front wheel and locking that to a lamppost or friends/accomplices shed and the claiming on their insurance for the bike they've had stolen! Some road bikes are worth thousands so a thief can make up to eight grand on one 'job'. There are bike thieves who operate in gangs and have some wonderfully imaginative ways of making money out of your misery. So be alert and secure your bicycles.

The simple and cost effective solution is Lock Alarm. Regular readers and those who own a Lock Alarm will know the advantages of our products those who don't, it's quite simple. Lock Alarm is a range of portable security devices which allow you to secure your valuables wherever you go, it is suitable for use in all weathers and environments the Lock Alarm can be used freestanding or it can be anchored to a wall, post, side of a vehicle, or directly onto bicycles or machinery using the brackets supplied. This protects against someone snatching your belongings and if they are more determined and some which snips or a saw to cut through the cable, once they start they are greeted by a 120 decibel alarm which will attract your attention, in most cases thieves will run to avoid detention and they probably won't come back.

Laptop Computer Lock

noreply@blogger.com (searchfirst) — Wed, 20 Feb 2008 09:58:00 +0000

Laptops are brilliant; they allow us to take the World Wide Web where ever we go. We are now able to connect to the world from pretty much anywhere, and now with more free wireless connections being installed in the towns and cities of the UK our laptops have never been more used outside of the home. But there is a down side too. The more laptop computers being taken outside of our homes the more thefts are happening, a laptop is easily formatted and information erased, then the lap top is sold on clean.

Your laptop computer probably holds some pretty important personal information and if it is a work computer then all of your important spread sheets, data and business files will be on there too. Depending on how security conscious you are your browser may even have credit card details stored or passwords and user names to your money transfer sites like PayPal. If this information is available to thieves after they have stolen your laptop, they will have a field day.

The Alarm Lock laptop or notebook alarm is one of our smallest but most effective alarm locks. Small enough to fit into your pocket and weighing only 100g it is strong enough to withstand a determined attempt of removal but when it is tampered with the alarm will sound screaming out 120 decibels. The way it works is simple; you attach the lock to the security slot on the side of your notebook and then pass the retractable steel cable in the alarm unit through a secure, immovable object and lock the end into the bolt. There is no need for keys; you can set your own pin code.

Portable Safe

noreply@blogger.com (searchfirst) — Tue, 19 Feb 2008 16:45:00 +0000

The Portasafe is the worlds first portable safe and for added security, it is alarmed with a 120 decibel, ear piercing alarm. The units' main features are the ultra hard steel anchorage cable, 120 decibel siren, lid sensors, tough outer casing with steel inner chassis and a foldaway handle for easy carrying. The Portasafe is only 6lbs and measures 38cm x 33cm x 24cm / 15" x 13" x 9.5". We have designed this safe with laptops, cameras and other personal effects in mind such as jewellery, cash and documents. You will need a 9 volt Alkaline battery which powers the alarm, the positioning of the battery housing means that it is tamper proof and a standard high power battery will last for many months.

The construction of the safe is patented to Lock Alarm, it will withstand and extremely high level of attack and the alarm will sound when an unlawful entry attempt is made. Likewise the steel anchor cable when cut or sawn will detonate the 120 decibel alarm. You can attach the anchor cable to anything that is secure such as a railing or post, pipe or frame; just make sure that whatever you attach your Portasafe to that will 100% secure and not easily broken or sawn through.

Use your portable safe in the home, office or when you go abroad on business or for pleasure to keep your cash and passports safe. I'm sure you have seen many a fault safe in hotel rooms in the past.

Alarm Lock pt II

noreply@blogger.com (searchfirst) — Tue, 19 Feb 2008 15:47:00 +0000

We have a family of lock alarms to suit most applications from laptop security to securing your car which you can chose from. Like we said in the post we will be telling you about our products on this blog section over the next few months and hopefully we can offer some hints and tips on keeping your goods out of the hands of the criminals.

None of our products are guaranteed to stop a thief taking your belongings but they are the best deterrent on the market today. Most thieves know about security devices and will tend not to bother attempting to get at something which is locked up with a Lock Alarm product; they know that the chances of them getting away with the goods unnoticed are very slim and even the most determined thief would have a real struggle getting one of our locks off.

Your average opportunist thief will run as soon as the alarm goes off, if they get that far. Let us say that the criminal goes to get some wire or bolt cutters and comes to try and take the lock off; a 120 decibel alarm will sound and at that point most thieves will run and if they don't they'll probably get caught.

Alarm Lock pt 1

noreply@blogger.com (searchfirst) — Tue, 19 Feb 2008 11:01:00 +0000

Hello and welcome to the Lock Alarm blog,

Here the company will be keeping you up to date with various happenings at Lock Alarm, new products, and some information on our existing catalogue of products designed to keep you and your possessions safe and secure.

It is a sad fact that there are people in our society that will steal anything which has been left unattended and is not bolted down. You could leave your bicycle outside of a shop, you are only going to be a minute in the store, and when you come out your bike has gone and you have been the victim of crime; the opportunist thief. Police figures tell us that most thefts, somewhere in the region of 98%, are opportunistic; the bike analogy is the most typical example. The worst thing is that there is little chance of getting your belongings back and even if the thief is caught they are likely only to be given a caution and a small fine.

In this blog we will be talking about our products and ways by which to deter those with light fingers for trying to make a quick buck off your back. We will be keeping the posts short and sweet, with as much direct information as possible. So check back and feel free to ask us any questions about the products and services we provide.
