IT is important to have your locks and security systems installed by professionals.
Independent Locksmiths and Security manager Ryan McGovern said this was so locks and security systems work correctly when needed.
"Burglars will look at a property for the weak spots and exploit those weaknesses," he said.
"It is important to look at your premises like a burglar and identify the weakest spots then strengthen those weaknesses.
"We are experienced at this type of risk assessment and the investment in having our professionals install these devices will keep your premises secure and protect your family."
Mr McGovern said it was important to have security devices maintained and tested, especially if electronics are involved.
"Under Australian standards alarm systems should be tested every 12 months, ensuring all the movement detectors, reed switches and sirens work correctly," he said.
"If the alarm reports back to base then ensure the control room is receiving all the signals and the call list is up to date with the correct phone numbers."
