Middlesbrough is a diverse, bustling urban centre with a population of around 100,000 people. One of Teesside's most pleasant townships, the city is home to families, young professionals, and retirees - all of whom live in a variety of different accommodation options.

With a long heritage and Victorian history, much of the accommodation in Middlesbrough is dated and thus vulnerable to break-ins and burglaries.

With a crime rate comparable to other cities in the Northeast, it should be a top priority of Middlesbrough residents to secure the doors and windows of their homes from potential break-ins.

Avoiding Burglaries

A burglar is always going to search for weak spots in your home's doors and windows for their break-in. To help deter would-be burglars, and those who might break into your home, it's important to fit high and tight security on all of your doors and windows.

The rate of burglaries in Middlesbrough hovers around 100 per month, with many of these taking place in residential areas famed for their ageing housing and substandard security.

Homes in Marton Grove and Grove Hill are some of the hardest-hit by break-ins, with homes in Beechwood likewise vulnerable to break-ins. To deter would-be criminals, secure entries are incredibly important.

Securing Your Home

The most efficient way to secure your home - whether you're in the Grove Hill district or the less crime-hit Hemlington area - is by installing new locks on your windows and doors.

Over time, the mechanisms on the locks of your windows and doors can deteriorate, making a forced entry far easier for would-be criminals who might target your home. This is especially true of the Victorian-era estates and terraced housing in the suburbs of Middlesbrough, where crime rates are highest.

Replacing these with high-quality, reliable locks and door fittings can help to give you the peace of mind that your home is safeguarded from break-ins, with vulnerable areas addressed by our team of expert locksmiths and home security specialists.
