With the winter months fast approaching it’s the natural time of year for homeowners to review the security around their properties, to make sure they, their loved ones and their valued possessions are as safe as possible – after all it’s now that opportunist burglars make the most of the darker nights. That’s where security specialist, Burg-Wächter comes in with its thoughtful range of convenient and high-quality security products providing layers of security to help maximise protection for your customers.
Lockdown and layer
Matt Parkes, Marketing Manager at Burg-Wächter said, “At any time, but particularly now when people are storing garden furniture, expensive equipment like barbecues and garden tools away in their garages or sheds ready for next year, a layered approach to security makes sense. Put simply, layering security means using a combination of different products to provide the strongest possible protection and making it harder for would-be thieves.”
Opportunities for locksmiths
Matt said, “Layering security is not only perfect for customers who want to feel safe and secure but also for locksmiths who now have a great upselling opportunity with the Burg-Wächter range.”

Door defence
Matt said, ‘With the front door being the main threshold of a property, securing it properly is a top priority. With this in mind, Burg-Wächter has developed SecuENTRY, an innovative electronic door lock that allows users to open the door via the free BURGsmart app, with a 6-digit code or via a fingerprint with the optional keypad.
Installed over the interior side of an existing cylinder within the door, SecuENTRY’s powerful energy-efficient motor rotates the key when activated, easily unlocking and relocking the door as required. Internal ‘open’ and ‘close’ buttons allow for convenient keyless operation whilst a manual metal rotary knob provide mechanical emergency opening if needed.’
Safe inside
Matt continued, “As a final line of defence, investing in a safe is a great option – they are ideal for protecting important documents like passports, as well as money, jewellery and irreplaceable sentimental treasures. Burg-Wächter has a substantial range of safes to meet individual needs, however, a good choice for the home is our PROFI safe.”
Certified by ECB.S to Security Level S2 (EN 14450), they offer up to £4,000 cash or £40,000 worth of valuables can be stored in the stylish yet robust safe. For added peace of mind, a certified 30-minute fire rating (LFS 30 – EN 15659) covers all bases when it comes to protecting your customers treasured items.
An included rechargeable LED interior light with sensor adds additional convenience, with fixings for secure wall or floor anchoring, the PROFI come is four sizes – 15, 27, 50 or 78 litres in volume – and is available in two locking options:
- Version K – VdS certified double-bit lock
- Version E – Certified programmable electronic combination lock with touch control panel, display and user history
Matt concluded, “Layering security is an effective way for homeowners to protect their properties and possessions, especially at this time of year. Locksmiths are perfectly placed to provide any advice that they may need and with the help of Burg-Wächter’s wide range of security products – such as the Security Kits, SecuENTRY and the PROFI safe – can meet the security demands of their customers and deliver the reassurance they demand.”
