With crime analysis revealing a seasonal spike in shed and garage break-ins between March and May, and the contents of the average shed and other items left outside in the garden worth £2,000[1], Kasp®, the leading brand in security from Carl Kammerling International, is recommending retailers stock up on durable security products that can withstand weakening, greatly reducing the chance of attack.
More than 36,000 households in 2016 fell victim to burglary.[2] Over half of these reported break-ins to non-connected buildings to a dwelling, such as a shed or garage. Leaving items vulnerable to attack could be pricey, with many households uninsured for outbuildings.
Something as inexpensive as a strong lock on outbuildings or gates to deter opportunistic burglars could be the answer.
Kasp’s 135 series Laminated Padlocks come with a brass stainless steel shackle, which ensures they are not exposed to any rust or weakening, perfect for any weather conditions. Featuring a tough laminated steel body, plastic covering, hardened steel shackle, and a level seven secure rating, the padlock is particularly appropriate for sheds, gates, garages and shutters.
Meeting the toughest demands of high security industrial applications, Kasp also produces a high-quality 150 series, that meets a level 11 grade of Kasp security. Manufactured from a block of marine grade stainless steel, the 150 series is entirely corrosion resistant, perfect for those wanting to secure gates, particularly in marine situations.
Tina Skinner, Kasp brand manager stated: “As the warmer evenings approach, not only do we find ourselves drawn towards spending time outdoors, we should also be alert to what the Spring and Summer months mean for thefts. Protecting the valuables we store in our gardens, sheds and garages should be as important as looking after those inside the home.
“With that in mind, we have designed a highly effective range of locks that can help arm homeowners with the protection they need to secure their belongings, throughout the seasons. We always pride ourselves on the quality of our products, so customers can have peace of mind that the items they store externally are thoroughly protected.”
