A KNUTSFORD locksmith is warning townspeople to be on their guards.
Matt Raw, the proprietor of Locksmiths of Knutsford in Tabley Close, told the Guardian some break-ins were down to homeowners not locking their doors properly.
Matt, who has been trading for a year, said: “They need to check that when they are going out – and if it’s a PVC door – that it is deadlocked.
“If it’s a wooden door that has a mortice lock it also needs a night latch as well. It is so easy to get in if both locks are not done.
Matt is offering free security assessments throughout August, and can be contacted by calling 07886 311868.
