Laura's Locksmith Blog

Hello, my name is Laura. I live with my family in a large house located in a suburb of Perth, Australia. Last year, there were a number of burglaries in the local area so my husband and I decided to review our home security. We installed some security lights and a new alarm system but then we realised that the locks on our doors and windows were very old. I contacted my friend who is a professional locksmith and he came out and installed new locks around the property. I now feel super safe in my home so I decided to offer advice to others.
