Fire Safety For Flats & Houses

Locks, as make up your physical security in your home, play a vital role in fire safety and how you would escape in an emergency.  The type and configuration of a security product has a huge impact on emergency escape.  For example, are you aware that some nightlatch wooden door locks in Birmingham can be locked from the outside with a key, so that the internal handle to open becomes in-operable?  Getting out of Birmingham City Centre flats in a fire, you have less time than someone in a house, as you need to make a much greater distance before you are safe - that is to descend the stairwells and move through corridors.  In such a place, do you have enough time to look for your keys to let yourself out the door, or are you safer with a keyless exit method even when the door is locked?  It would be good too if the flat where the fire started has correctly specified fire resistant hardware.  You wouldn't want it to be your cheap and nasty lock that allowed flames to breach your fire door and blow through the corridors of your neighbours.  Ask for the best locks and get the correct advice - call or email CraftLock Ltd when you need security AND safety: 07548989151  service@craftlock.co.uk
