How to Keep Your Home Secure During the Holidays

The holiday season is a prime time for burglaries. With many Gold Coast families travelling, homes are often left empty and vulnerable. Here are our top tips to protect your property.

Upgrade Your Locks

Outdated or weak locks are easy targets. Consider upgrading to deadbolts or modern smart locks. See our post on smart locks for Gold Coast homes

Use Restricted Keys

If you’re lending keys to neighbours or house-sitters, restricted key systems prevent unauthorised copies. Learn more in our commercial locksmith services section.

Don’t Advertise Your Absence

Avoid posting travel plans online until you’re back. Ask a neighbour to collect mail and put bins out to make the home look lived-in.

Consider a Security Check

A licensed locksmith can inspect your doors, windows, and locks for weaknesses. If you’ve recently had a break-in, check our guide on what to do after a break-in
