The Code is written in white chalk, and basically if they see a flat or house with a white cross somewhere on the property, this  has been assigned as a good place to burgle. There are 6 to 7 more chalk signs, meaning various possibilities for the gangs. Remember, it is very important if you are going away for Christmas that you make sure you lock up your home properly and of course the ultimate protection against forced entry of your main entrance door is without doubt letting us install one of our TITAN steel security doors please visit our website www.steelsecuritydoors.co.uk for more information.

Another wooden door forced open in London. The local burglars have a smashing time it is so easy for them. I know I keep going on and on, but whoever decided that we would have wooden doors and door frames must have been completely naive. It is so obvious that WOOD is just not suitable for protecting the entrance of your property. If you think about it most of Europe, have steel doors and doorframes

BURGLARY

Once again, the burglars had the upper hand, large converted Victorian house situated in the Notting Hill Gate area of London. The main communal door was fitted with an intercom system which had no security whatsoever. As if you think about it you only have to press a button to allow the door to be opened. This involves a small electrical current, releasing the mechanism on the Lock. A potential burglar is fully aware that one good run at the door, it will open, then he has got 4 Flats all empty as the occupiers were at work etc. In this case.

The doors were fitted with high security locks that were made redundant as the wooden doors and wooden doorframes could not withstand the attack.

The only solution is steel frames and steel doors, our TITAN range are perfect as they are designed to keep burglars out, but also to look and feel like a quality wooden door.

This time the other houses in Aldridge Road Villas London W11 were lucky, but no doubt these burglars will return to this street as they were so successful this time. So I would urge anybody reading this to seriously consider replacing their door and doorframe as at the moment locking your door is a complete waste of time.

This is a list of a few more burglaries that we were called to in the last few days. Each of these burglaries had their wooden doors forced open

Another Burglary.

LONDON – A man on trial for the brutal murder of two French university students in their London flat admitted on Wednesday to carrying out a burglary at the property, while still denying the murder charge.
Daniel Dano Sonnex, 23, pleaded guilty to the burglary as he appeared alongside co-defendant Nigel Farmer, 34, to face trial at the Old Bailey in London. Farmer denies any theft charges.
The two men are alleged to have repeatedly stabbed Gabriel Ferez and Laurent Bonomo, both 23, and set fire to their bodies at the students’ rented flat in the tough south London district of New Cross in June last year.
The jury was told that Sonnex had pleaded guilty to a single count of burglary which took place on the day of the murder and at the same address.
It relates to the theft of a bank card, credit card, two Sony PSP games consoles and two mobile phones.
Both defendants deny murdering the students and charges of false imprisonment and arson.
Sonnex and Farmer are alleged to have held the two victims captive at the flat before killing them and setting fire to the property.
The victims, second-year students from Clermont-Ferrand in central France, were nearing the end of a three-month research placement studying DNA at Imperial College when they were killed.
The first full day of evidence will be heard on Friday.
The victims’ parents were in court, accompanied by an interpreter.
A lawyer representing the parents said they were prepared for a harrowing trial.
The first days will be very, very, very hard because evidence will come out which in my view will be unpleasant to see, Marie-Claire Sparrow told journalists outside the court.

Recession blamed as burglaries rise

Knife crime is down 12% but the number of domestic burglaries has increased by 4%

Latest crime figures have revealed rises in the number of burglaries, personal thefts and robberies at knifepoint as the recession takes hold.

Recorded crime figures from police forces in England and Wales showed a 4% rise in domestic burglaries between October and December, while the British Crime Survey showed a 25% rise in the number of thefts.

But there was a sharp fall in the number of killings involving knives, which fell by 12%, and total recorded crime was down by 4%.

Last year a leaked draft memo from Home Secretary Jacqui Smith revealed fears inside Government of sharp rises in crime linked to the economic downturn.

Earlier this month Ms Smith launched a scheme to help improve home security with money-off vouchers for door and window locks from DIY stores.

The 4% increase in domestic burglaries – to 75,600 – is a repeat of the rise in home break-ins recorded in the third quarter. It prompted fears of a “credit crunch crime wave” linked to the rise in unemployment.

The police figures also showed a 4% increase in burglaries at business and other premises. Overall property crime was down by 4% with falls in vehicle break-ins, other thefts and criminal damage.

Police minister Vernon Coaker acknowledged the “new challenges” of burglary and other so-called acquisitive crimes.

 Hi everybody,

Good morning everybody,

It’s a beautiful day today, the sun is shining. I just heard on the radio that Google have launched Street view. When I got into the office I went straight to my computer and looked it up.

The first thing I thought is oh my God this is an amazing tool for the local burglars. Basically they can plan everything, they can see how many locks are on the main door to a building, they can see drainpipes along the walls of the building, entrances to ground floor apartments, escape routes, it really is going to help the burglars. So once again prevention is the key. Make sure you have a Titan steel door installed straightaway, call us on 08448 04 04 04 don’t let the burglar have the upper hand

Take care out there, and view Google Street search for yourself, and make your own opinion of the potential problems that it could cause.

You’re welcome to leave me any comments regarding this situation and I shall insert them on to this blog. Any opinions or other fears would be very helpful, or indeed if you think it’s a good idea

MORE homes were burgled in Harrow at the start of 2009 compared with the same time last year, police have revealed.

Speaking to a meeting of the Harrow Police and Community Consultative Group, Chief Superintendent Richard Walton revealed residential burglary is up by seven per cent since Christmas, compared with the same period in 2008.

Mr Walton said: “We are facing a challenge around residential burglary, and across London there has been a dramatic increase in burglary since Christmas.

“It is following a national trend, and we are desperately trying to get it down.”

Four officers have been added to the police squad specifically tackling the problem of homes being burgled, doubling its previous capacity.

When a home is burgled, the victim and their immediate neighbours are issued with a pack with advice on avoiding being burgled, but Mr Walton said the aim is to stop the burglaries happening in the first place.

He told the meeting on Monday: “We are doing everything we can to try to stem the increase.”

When questioned, Mr Walton added there is no data a present to suggest the rise in burglary in Harrow and across the country is related to the current recession.

2:00 a.m. March 18, 2009

A man was tied up and robbed yesterday morning after he interrupted four men burglarizing his home, sheriff’s deputies said.

The man was upstairs in his house on Manchester Avenue near Birmingham Drive about 10:20 a.m. when he heard noises coming from downstairs. He confronted the men, one of whom had a handgun, sheriff’s deputies said.

The group tied up the man and stole cash, his cell phone and at least one flat-screen television before driving away

As you have seen in this blog a regular wooden door does not cut it. In fact, when faced with the onslaught a TITAN Steel Security door is truly needed.

So ASL have made it even easier to get TITAN with six months interest free.

My wife and I were burgled about a year ago. We live in the Battersea area. It’s a nice area but across the railway tracks is a large housing estate. When they burgled us last year they literally kicked the outside door down, both inside doors down to the flats and turned them literally upside down. They took anything of any value and walked out the front doors (as that’s the only way out). This very evening my wife and I were watching TV in our lounge at the back of the house when we heard noises. I went to investigate to find someone climbing into our bedroom. I managed to chase this coward down a few streets but I lost him. What bothers us more than anything is that this was midnight on a Monday evening when everyone is in and still they break into your house whether your in or not. Fact is we leave this god forsaken hellhole in two weeks and we will spread the word that London is no part of England. It’s the dark spot on the UK map, somewhere where people do not care about their neighbours and care only about themselves. The amount of crime is disgusting and unacceptable, the fact is no-one will do anything about it. The British spirit is almost certainly dead.Take care out there,

On this occasion the burglars decided to break into a church I find this to be morally quite offensive. Normal story they forced open a wooden door. Although the door was locked. It’s not a great start for this day, but I have noticed that more and more people are purchasing our Titan steel security door, so that’s very encouraging. I do recall a few months back that we installed one for a very well-known company in London. They telephone us 3 weeks afterwards explained that over the weekend they had an attempted break-in, but after a period of time they gave up, once again showing the power of a TITAN door. Stop playing Russian roulette with your security.

Get the upper hand against a potential burglary. Call today 08448 04 04 04 to  make an appointment. We will come round and measure up, return three weeks later after manufacturing your door. You can then go to work or holidays knowing that you’re TITAN door will be working for you 24 hours a day should a burglar strike.

It’s All About STRENGTH

Home Office statistics show that 71% of burglars target the doors of a property, usually by forcing a lock. Our experience at ASL is that when burglars choose a property to target, they also assess the vulnerability of other adjacent properties. They may then return at a later date to burgle adjacent apartments or houses, picking the least-secure property as their next target. By fitting our ASL security door, you will have the best security options available. Not only do we give you a fantastic strong door, but also the very best locks on the market, which are fitted as standard.

Be aware! – Locking your conventional rim and mortice lock will not keep a burglar out

Traditional wooden doors and frames are no longer a deterrent for today’s burglars. Many burglaries occur between the hours of 1-4 in the afternoon, when the chances are that apartments are unoccupied. Most doors and frames dating from conversions are of poor quality, usually soft wood. Occupiers have fitted extra locks to their doors but a burglar realises there is no strength in the door and frame, and forces all the doors open. This is occurring on a daily basis in the London area.

Today, we have to realise that wooden doors and frames are no longer adequate. However, our Titan steel doors and frames are specifically designed to withstand such an attack. Every conceivable angle has been thought out, each door is handmade at our factory.

An ALARM won’t keep a burglar out!

Burglars know that even if an alarm goes off, most people tend to assume it’s a malfunction, and don’t report it unless it persists until they regard it as a noise nuisance. Police may take 20 minutes or often considerably more to respond to alerts from alarm monitoring centres. By this time the burglar has helped himself to your valuables and left. The principle of the Titan Steel Door, in contrast, is to defeat burlars attempts to gain access at all.

As two apartments were broken into. One door I’ve been told was attacked with a hammer. Once again, if a TITAN steel door was fitted the outcome would have been totally different. It is so straightforward for you to replace your door and doorframe, with one of our TITAN steel doors and frame. Not only can I guarantee, that it will be more secure than what you have at the present, it will also look more pleasing to the eye, and the sense of reassurance, when you lock your multipoint locking system, will be a joy.

Now do something positive, don’t wait until it’s too late, there are too many victims, call us on 08448 04 04 04 and get the upper hand against this situation

Bye for now, and remember to lock up properly

Government ’soft on burglars’

Wednesday, February 4, 2009

Almost four out of five serial burglars fail to get the minimum punishment laid down by the law, according to figures released by the Conservatives.

Only 21% of burglars convicted for a third time were jailed for the minimum statutory sentence of three years, the statistics showed.

The Tories said convicted burglars were less likely to face any prison time at all under the Labour Government, quoting Ministry of Justice figures which showed the custody rate for burglary has fallen from 45.3% in 1997 to 39.2%.

Shadow justice secretary Dominic Grieve said: “Under Labour, most burglars escape jail, and even the most prolific offenders avoid the minimum sentence. If this wasn’t bad enough, ministers have released 4,000 burglars early because they failed to provide sufficient prison capacity.”

He spoke after Home Secretary Jacqui Smith hosted a summit to address rising burglaries while insisting that the recession does not mean a rise in the offence is inevitable.

But Mr Grieve added: “There is little point in Jacqui Smith hosting summits, while Jack Straw continues to give burglars a break.”

I’ve just had an enquiry regarding our Titan steel door, the person wants to remain anonymous, and we respect her decision. On Monday  two of her neighbours were broken into and she sent as a description by e-mail today of what happened

Amanda –

I appreciate why you’re asking, but advertising the ease with which it happened makes me feel very vulnerable, I don’t want to give every low-life with access to the internet any ideas!…….  …..it’s a TW7 postcode and it happened on Monday evening, between approximately 6pm and 9pm. Two flats on the third floor were entered, both while the owners were out. We don’t know how they gained access to the block.

In both cases the front doors of the flats were forced, apparently with something like a crowbar, and considerable external damage was done. I don’t know what was taken, probably portable and easily disposable stuff like TVs, DVD players, jewellery………

Hello again,

Just had a telephone conversation. The lady in question was obviously upset after her door was forced open and she had a burglary. She explained that she contacted her insurance company, they said she should go out and find two estimates, wish they would approve one of them, to carry out the necessary work to replace the broken door and doorframe. I explained straightaway, that she should go back to her insurance company, and explaining she is not prepared, after being burgled to now look for two companies, they then said okay let ASL carry out the work straightaway today.

I find the telephone manner of the person calling the insurance company to be ever so important,  the more firm you are insisting you want your place secured immediately, the more likely they will say go ahead and have it done, if you show any signs of  hesitation, nervousness, they will more than likely make it extremely difficult for you and it will go on for quite a considerable amount of time.
Remember you pay your premium every month, the day you require something as important as a replacement door, doorframe, you must insist that nothing will delay you from securing your home.

Even on Valentine’s Day,

Another door broken into, the occupiers thought they were perfectly safe, they locked up and were away for a few days, only to come back on Valentine’s Day to find that they had a burglary. I really can’t understand the mentality, of other human beings, going out to cause so much heart ach. The shock of a burglary, can be truly overwhelming, these so-called human beings, wouldn’t want somebody to burgle them, they would be angry, upset, but they are willing to cause so much stress to other people, it really beggars belief, I truly believe the punishment, should be more severe a minimum of 10 years in prison would do me, for starters.

The Government is happy to boast that we lead Europe in growth, investment, low inflation and high employment. But what about the statistic that has much greater impact on individual lives — that Britain is the burglary capital of the EU?

Of course, the news from Brussels that the percentage of British households burgled is twice the EU average will come as little surprise to the 733,000 people who suffered the heartbreak of having their homes violated. But what may shock them is how the police handle this particularly nasty (and, it seems, peculiarly British) crime.

In London, they have a new policy they call “sole response”. It means that in three quarters of London boroughs, the Metropolitan Police send an officer to a burglary only if the criminal is still in the house. Instead, a nonpolice crime scene examiner calls later to look for evidence. The rest of the capital will adopt sole response this year with many other forces across the country.

Whoever is reading this should really consider, changing your wooden door and doorframe for a TITAN steel security door, call now on 08448 04 04 04 it may be the best decision you could make for your home security

Our custom reports that she was away on holiday, and when she returned she found har apartment door in half, and her home ransacked. It is so annoying to think, that if a TITAN door was fitted the out come would have been totally different

We’ve just had a call, regarding a burglary that happened yesterday afternoon at around three o’clock in the afternoon, the gentlemen explained on the phone, that he thought he was perfectly secure as he had a PVC door fitted, however the burglars opened the door quite easily with a crowbar. I must advise everybody again, that PVC doors, wooden doors, are just not strong enough to keep these people out
the solution is for us to install one of our amazing TITAN steel security doors, remember the old saying prevention is better than cure

Usual scenario, apartment door forced open. Wooden door and wooden door frame could not withstand the attack, once again a Titan door would have definitely kept them out

We’ve just had this instruction
Description: Our severely damaged door needs to be replaced by a solid core door with locks, after a burglary

We were informed by the occupiers, that the burglars knocked on their door, however they did not hear the knock, then they heard a tremendous bang, when the burglars forced the door open
once again, you need to have a Titan steel security door, to eliminate this problem, please go to this link http://www.asllocks.com/www/steel_security_doors.asp and order a survey

My burglary experience.

“I came home late one night to find the front door to my new build flat axe butchered and lots of personal items missing. My area is normally so quiet and feels so safe that I must admit I was lulled into a false sense of security and had only single locked the door that day. Of course this came as a devastating shock to myself and my partner. The thieves came in the afternoon while we were at work. They somehow managed to get buzzed into the block, prised the door open with a crowbar or similar tool and achieved this by critically damaging the wooden door in the area where the locks are and smashing the frame. The police crime prevention officers inspected the damaged door and said that even if I had double locked the door the thieves would still have been able to get in, only it would have taken longer. Nobody heard or saw anything. It was a difficult experience and nothing can prepare you for the dread that one feels and the ‘what if’ scenarios that go through the mind. It’s not so much the lost personal items, as these can often be replaced by home insurance, but even after the initial shock anger and self pity subsides, an incident like this instils a lingering sense of worry and fear that the place where your family lives is not secure enough and that unless you take effective action, the burglars might even return.

I can safely say that once the titan door was installed, all these fears evaporated and my partner and I are finally free again to get on with life without fear of coming home one day to face a repeat of last summer’s nightmare. There is no doubt just by seeing it first- hand and feeling the way all the mechanisms operate that this is a quality, dependable, security minded door, which still manages to retain an attractive and homely look. Just one key is required which is a great convenience, as it means no more fumbling around with 2 or 3 different keys to get in every time! I am happy to recommend ASL Lock services to anyone”

I hope this helps and I wish your company good business for the services you provide to give peace of mind to countless families

Yet another door broken into

It’s All About STRENGTH

Home Office statistics show that 71% of burglars target the doors of a property, usually by forcing a lock. Our experience at ASL is that when burglars choose a property to target, they also assess the vulnerability of other adjacent properties. They may then return at a later date to burgle adjacent apartments or houses, picking the least-secure property as their next target. By fitting our ASL security door, you will have the best security options available. Not only do we give you a fantastic strong door, but also the very best locks on the market, which are fitted as standard.

Door and locks forced open

Hello,
I’m continuing, as promised to insert a small selection of burglaries that I receive at the ASL office every day.
This is a typical situation, where the owner came back from a hard day at work to find that hes apartment door was open, and that he had been burgled. Most insurance company require, that a British standard five lever deadlock be fitted to your main door. As you can see there was a five lever British standard deadlock fitted to this apartment door, which proved to be absolutely useless, as you can clearly see. Once a carpenter has to remove, a significant part of the door, to enable him to install this lock, there is hardly any wood either side, connecting the lock to the door. In fact the owner was really wasting his time locking the door. Something needs to be done, there is something you can do, please visit ASL Steel Security Doors.

keep safe and lock-up properly
