🔑 Safety & Compliance: Modernizing Your Short-Let Property
Is your rental property truly guest-ready and fully protected? 🏠
We recently completed a vital security and safety upgrade for a client preparing their flat for the Airbnb and short-let market. The property was originally fitted with a traditional mortice lock—while secure, these often don't meet modern Fire Safety Regulations for rental properties.
In an emergency, every second counts. Guests shouldn't have to hunt for a key to exit their own front door!
🛠️ The Professional Upgrade:
Compliance Conversion: We converted the door hardware from a standard mortice lock to a modern, fire-compliant system.
Quick Escape: Installed a Thumbturn cylinder, allowing for an immediate exit without a key from the inside—a life-saving requirement for fire safety.
Insurance Approved: Peace of mind is non-negotiable. We installed high-security, insurance-approved fire-rated locks. This ensures that in the unlikely event of a claim, your property remains fully covered by your provider. 🛡️
Whether you are a landlord, an Airbnb host, or simply looking to modernize your home security, we ensure your locks are both safe and legal.
Don't risk your insurance or your guests' safety.
