Surrey Homes Targeted at Christmas: How to Keep Your Property Secure

As the festive season approaches, homes in Surrey are increasingly being targeted by burglars during the Christmas period. With darker nights, expensive gifts under the tree, and families away visiting relatives, this time of year often sees a rise in break-ins and opportunistic theft.

Why Christmas Is Prime Time for Burglaries

Burglars know that homes are often left unattended over the holidays. Many properties also become easy targets due to poor lighting, unlocked doors, or old locks. Even a few minutes of inattention can be enough for an intruder to gain access, especially if your locks haven’t been recently checked or replaced.

How to Keep Your Home Safe This Christmas

Here are a few practical ways to secure your property before the holidays:

1. Upgrade your door locks – Ensure your front and back doors are fitted with high-security door locks or slam locks that automatically lock when closed.

2. Secure your windows – Install strong window locks to prevent forced entry. These small additions make a big difference in deterring burglars.

3. Install CCTV & alarm systems –CCTV and access control systems allow you to monitor your home remotely, while burglar alarms act as an immediate deterrent.

4. Protect your valuables – If you keep jewellery or important documents at home, consider a safe lock install for extra security. Thames Locks can install, open, or repair safes of all sizes.

5. Check your outbuildings and vehicles – Don’t forget garages, sheds, and work vans.
