Securistyle Defender Door Lock is Safe and Secure
31th July 2012

Securistyle, the manufacturer of hardware for the window and door industries, continues to see success with its Defender Door Lock as its ‘One Lock Does it All’ slogan rings true.

Dave Walsh, Sales Director of Securistyle explains: “The Defender Door Lock was designed with the issue of Secure Escape very much in mind – that is the balance between keeping people safe and secure in their homes, while also allowing them easy escape in the event of a fire. It goes further than this though by offering full flexibility which can have far reaching advantages. London Fire Brigade recently announced that in the last three years it had been called out to nearly 22,000 incidents – that’s 20 each day - of rescuing people who have locked themselves in or out of a building or vehicle. The estimated cost to taxpayers is more than £5m. As they encourage the general public to call a locksmith instead of an emergency service, the problem remains.

“The Defender Door Lock offers a solution. As well as the specific Secure Escape setting, the Defender Door Lock also has a Fully Secure mode which not only prevents burglars getting in from outside, but also prevents them using the door as their escape route if they have gained entry to the home by other means. The lock has two further settings for full flexibility to allow the door to be locked from the inside and out with a key and a setting that allows it to be closed but not locked. We’ve probably all been among the many more thousands of people that have locked ourselves out of our homes at one point or another and while hopefully we had more sense than to call the fire brigade, a good number of these incidents could probably have been avoided if our door locks gave us more options.

“As well as full flexibility for the homeowner, the Defender Door Lock also offers Secured By Design, PAS 24 Compliance, NHBC Compliance, BS 10621, BS 8621 and BS 3621 functions and a user friendly design. It really is the Door Lock that does it all.”
