25.01.2022 THANK YOU// We were out and about today when to our delight and surprise we found this outside our Auburn Road Hawthorn job! Whilst we were actually attending a property managed by the awesome team at Jellis Craig Boroondara {whom we have had the pleasure of working with for over 15 years} we work with a number of the Jellis Craig offices throughout Melbourne. Not to forget our fellow Mitcham Football Club sponsors are also a local Jellis Craig office: Jellis Craig Whitehorse...! Love the community spirit this board delivers and although we know it’s not just for Frontline Locksmiths we had to enjoy the play on words! With Ben’s experience expanding almost 25 years and Belle’s 17 years in property management the Frontline team are headed up by some powerhouses!! If your property management team need a locksmith company that specialises in real estate don’t look any further!! Contact Belle on 0402 254 777 and discover how they can assist you today!

25.01.2022 KEEP IT HUSH // Don’t go telling the world you’re going on holidays, off for the weekend or heading out. Too often, people will post on their social media telling others they aren’t home or enjoying their time away [we see those Instagram stories!]. Although what people don’t realise is that thieves take advantage of this opportunity to strike on unoccupied households. So keep your property safe this summer, keep it a secret and think before you go announcing on social media about your next vacation!

20.01.2022 PREVENT BURGLARS // Don't make it easy for someone to break into your home! Avoid thieves from breaking into your house by locking up! It sounds simple but often people forget or think they won't too long and the house will be safe. It’s *so* important to ensure you have prioritised security within your home, yet it’s so often overlooked. We’ve said it once and we’ll say it again, but we recommend using key-operated window locks and deadlocks which will help make it an *abso...lute* mission for burglars to break in. So ditch the spare key that may live under the doormat or behind the garden gnome! And keep those burglars out! If you are interested in a lock installation to provide future security for your family, contact us on 0402 254 777 or contact us through our booking form on our website.

17.01.2022 CLIENT REVIEW // A review from a Hallam business owner after an unfortunate incident at their office. After our office was broken into, we rang a number of local locksmiths without success. We then rang Belle from Frontline Locksmiths who organised a member of their team almost immediately. The advice, quality and service was second to none. Thanks guys, much appreciated Simon Bowden, Whilst we hope no one has to experience a distressing break in or robbery, we are h...ere in your time of need to assist with locksmith services.

16.01.2022 REGULATIONS & QUALIFICATIONS // Did you know that the Security Industry is only semi-regulated? Yes. You read that right in some States & Territories (including Victoria) you DO NOT need to be licenced or qualified to be a locksmith!! What does that mean for you and your family? You could be inadvertently hiring someone to secure your home who has no licence to do so. They may not even have the qualifications or education to meet compliance requirements. Your family [the on...es you want to protect the most] may be at risk. This is not to scare you. This is simply to remind you that like the electrical work you had done or the builder who renovated your home; working with qualified trades is critical to your safety. Cutting corners is not an option! So, next time you need the locks upgraded or replaced, window locks installed, make sure that you’re choosing a qualified locksmith like Frontline Locksmiths. Not your buddy, not someone off Airtasker, not a Handyman with no licence or insurance. Contact our office on 0402 254 777 or use the booking form on our website

16.01.2022 BROKEN KEYS// We attended this tenanted Camberwell property to remove a broken key from the lock and cut new keys for the tenant. To avoid a broken key in your lock 1. Check that there is no bends or breaks in the key. 2. When cutting extra keys use a qualified locksmith to ensure your key is cut correctly and not duplicated.... 3. Never force a key in the lock If you are a Property Manager or Real Estate agent, remember if you are having problems using a key when leasing or selling, so will your clients! It’s best to avoid an emergency or after hours call out so call Frontline Locksmiths to have the lock serviced before the worst happens! Contact us on 0402254777 or contact us through our booking form on our website.

16.01.2022 VISIBILITY INCREASES SECURITY // Most homeowners landscape their properties for the visual aspect, to make bypassers stop and go WOW! But did you know landscaping can provide home security too? Not maintaining your yard can increase your house’s vulnerability to burglars. It can create hiding spots for thieves and coverage from the public eye. So make the effort in keeping your property tidy! Try trimming surrounding trees and shrubs to provide a clear walkway to your front ...door. An unobstructed view will help maintain a clear line of sight of your home and deter burglars. We also recommend installing sensor lights around the house that are activated by movement. This can deter would be thieves and helpful when you come home and need to find your keys! Don't forget your online shopping and packages! Unattended deliveries are a thieves Christmas wish come true! Instead have them delivered to your work or to a family member. With online tracking notification, ask a trusted neighbour to collect once it has been delivered. Don't leave them on your doorstop!

12.01.2022 MAKE IT LOOK LIKE YOU’RE HOME // Get ahead of potential thieves and ensure it looks like someone is home.

For instance, visitors and cars coming and going makes it appear that people are about at different times. This way it will help make the house look as if someone is at home. Remember to clear the mailbox! Leaving a pile... of mail built up in your letterbox before you head off is a dead giveaway! Another red flag is junk mail and letters piling up. Arrange for friends, family or neighbours to check and collect every few days. Ask them to take a few minutes and look around the house while you're gone! Similarly, don’t forget about the bins!! Ask a neighbour to bring your waste bins in and out on bin night! As a bonus, they can even use them too! Afterall, you won't be using them! Burglars will look at anything and everything that will determine whether someone is home or not. Therefore, don’t make it easy for them!

07.01.2022 COMMUNITY ANNOUNCEMENT // Frontline Locksmiths attended another home invasion after our clients had their Ringwood home broken into overnight and 2 cars were stolen. The criminals are staking out shopping centres, schools & public areas, following the car home and then they return during the night to break in, take the keys & steal the vehicles. They are targeting Audi, BMW, Mercedes-Benz, mainly highend German cars. The scary thing is that both parents and their young chi...ld were home asleep, the intruders were armed and only after car keys (no other valuables were touched) Please be vigilant, take notice of potential vehicles following you home, try to park off the street and in a garage as this is an advertisement as a potential target. Installation of cameras, alarm systems or simply motion sensor floodlights can be effective forms of deterrent. Be proactive rather than reactive but above all be safe! We hope you do not require our assistance under these circumstances but should you need a trusted, qualified and licensed locksmith, please contact us on 0402254777 during business hours or for emergency locksmith services contact 0407744537.

There are new requirements around: Pool or spa safety barriers and fittings Windows... Doors and gates Lodge a Certificate of Barrier Compliance with your local council by the due date. Frontline Locksmiths can assist with lock solutions to get you compliance ready or rectify defects found during the certification process. The regulations include new requirements for owners to register their swimming pools and spas with their local council. A council infringement notice may be issued for any failures to register. After that, Owners must have a registered building surveyor or inspector certify the continuing compliance of their safety barrier every four years. In Victoria most fatal drownings of young children occur in backyard swimming pools. Therefore, in December 2019 the Government introduced new regulations to make swimming pools and spas safer and prevent young children from drowning. Drowning is the most common cause of preventable death for young children. If you need assistance to get your pool area summer safe ready, contact us or request a booking through our website.

It's common for burglars to check them too and score a *jackpot*! That's something you definitely don't want... Frontline Locksmiths can install suitable locks for your garden shed, mancave or workshop. Have you checked your g...arage and doors? Most people remember to put down their main garage door.

Most importantly, don't forget to lock your side gates as well. Have a padlock or deadlock installed as that prevents thieves from getting away with larger possessions. They love the cover provided by forgotton side areas so don't make it so easy! If you are unable to lock your shed or garage, store treasures and valuables somewhere else if you can. Otherwise Frontline Locksmiths can install suitable locks or lock solutions. So, here's your reminder to lock up! Secure your valuables by using a mechanical lock or quality padlock!
