Having the wrong sort of lock on your doors could not only put your home at risk but also invalidate your home insurance, experts have warned. Door lock experts at Toolstation have collaborated with Duncan Sutcliffe, Director of Sutcliffe & Co, to ensure homeowners are aware of the different kinds of locks available, and how to make sense of home insurance small print.
Duncan advises reading your insurance policy paperwork thoroughly. He said: “Although it’s not much fun, it’s so important that you read the small print in your insurance policy document, especially if you live in a high-risk area or have a lot of valuables.
“I have seen cases where there’s been a break-in and the insurance company has refused to payout because the front door lock was not deemed adequate. They’re within their rights to do this.
