In recent years security has become a very high profile issue. Theft is generally on the increase worldwide and demand for effective affordable security is extremely strong. Lock Alarms have been designed with this in mind and provide an intelligent security solution for a wide range of common applications.<\/p>\n

The problem with ordinary locks is they just silently wait for thieves to come along. A Lock Alarm is different as it has an ear piercing alarm. Attempting to cut through the lock starts the alarm screaming, attracting attention and scaring away the potential thief.<\/strong> According to Police and other law enforcement agencies noise is the best deterrent against crime.<\/p>\n

Using award winning patented<\/strong><\/span> technology Lock Alarms are the ONLY locks available which truly function by sounding an alarm when the cable\/shackle is being cut.<\/strong> \u201cIntelligent\u201d electronics ensure the alarm will only sound when an attempt is made to attack the device and therefore cause NO\u00a0false alarms<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Lock Alarms provide effective and affordable security for a wide range of common applications at home, outdoors or when travelling. They come with a 1 year manufacturer\u2019s warranty and meet all European and worldwide product safety standards.<\/p>\n

As a measure of their tremendous success, Lock Alarms have been promoted by some Police forces around the world as an effective deterrent against opportunistic theft<\/strong> (which accounts for over 98% of all thefts in most countries). In addition, Lock Alarms have received many positive product reviews and testimonials from media and consumers.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\u00abFinding somewhere secure to leave valuables such as cameras or mobile phones in an open boat can be a problem. The first rule to obey is, of course, \u2018out of sight, out of mind\u2019, so don\u2019t leave them lying around in full view. But few stowage locations on small boats are really secure, and your insurance company may refuse to cough up if it finds out you left your Nikon in an unlocked compartment on an unattended boat.. . . The PortaSafe is a portable, fully alarmed personal safe. At 2.7kg (6lb) its light enough to lug around so it can be transferred from home to car to boat without too much effort. Its hardened steel chassis is protected by a tough plastic outer casing so the occasional knock won\u2019t damage your shiny GRP. You lock it to the boat by an integral safety cable that resists cutting and sawing. Not only that, but it has an in-built 120db siren that will go off in the event of attempted forced entry. Still best to keep it out of sight if you can though, even if that means simply wrapping a towel round it. Another handy boating accessory is the Lock Alarm. The picture tells the story on this one. . . Its uses are limited only by your imagination but the really obvious boaty one is to make your boat and outboard truly inseparable. What makes it doubly useful is the mounting bracket that can be fixed to a wall or post at home, securely locking multiple items not only to themselves but to terra firma. When the lock is in the mounting, the screws can\u2019t be got at, and any attempt to remove it by force results in the alarm sounding. Excellent.!\u201d<\/em>

\u00abWe’ve been promoting some of your Lock Alarms throughout the Roadshows we have been conducting this year. The public\u2019s response has been very encouraging, and in particular we feel it has been a great help in the (Police) forces efforts to promote two-wheel and garage\/garden shed security.\u201d<\/em>
\nCrime Prevention Officer PC Lynn Stockdale<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cI have been very impressed with the HandiSafe and Lock Alarm. We will soon be ordering an initial batch to be used in our patrol cars. With your permission we also plan to promote these devices to several corporates in this area who have recently experienced a spate of thefts from their sales reps\u2019 vehicles . . .\u201d<\/em>

\u201cAs an ex-police officer I had come across Lock Alarm over a decade ago when we were promoting shed\/garage security as part of our crime prevention initiatives. Now retired and living in Thailand I recently saw some mentions on an expats forum recommending the cable lock alarms and was delighted to hear they are still available. Having recently experienced an intruder onto my premises I placed an order on the official online store. I asked for one of the locks to be customised to a specific length for me and for some extra brackets to be included so I could have the flexibility to move the locks to different locations. The order was enacted perfectly and they even keyed alike all the locks which was a nice added bonus.\u201d<\/em>
\nJeff Wallace, Ex-Police Officer (UK)<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cI have proof my Lock Alarm really works against thieves!. My motorcycle was in an attempted theft, but the thugs failed thanks to your product . . . the alarm was sounded and they ran!\u201d<\/em>
\nMr B.W. Adams<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cI thought you would be interested to hear my story about how the Lock Alarm saved my gear from being stolen. I\u2019ve been using it to secure my personal watercraft (jetski) when I\u2019m down at the lake at weekends and holidays, and on my trailer when I\u2019m taking it there and back from my home. Back at home I store the PW on the trailer in my garage and use the Lock Alarm to lock them both up to a ground anchor I put in the floor. Recently someone broke into my garage and stole some tools. They would almost certainly have also taken the PW and trailer if it had not been for the Lock Alarm. When I came home the alarm was still ringing and I found the ******** had tried to cut through the cable but they must have run off when the alarm started and just taken my tools. I guess I should have had a Lock Alarm for those aswell but I\u2019m just pleased the watercraft and trailer did not go as I know the insurance company would probably not pay full replacement value. Thanks for saving me that experience!!\u201d<\/em>

\u201cThought I\u2019d let you know that since we purchased your system for all 48 of our trucks two thefts have been averted\u201d<\/em>

\u201cA product I have been looking for a long time. What a great Idea!\u201d<\/em>
\nPat Campbell, Wavedancer Kayak Expeditions<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cAs a sales manager who coordinates a team of 37 sales reps I\u2019m confirming the enormous benefit the PortaSafe has given to myself and our company. Previously we had experienced some considerable headaches with reps having their laptop computers and video projection equipment stolen from their hotel room and back of their vehicles. After trialing a PortaSafe we bought one each for all our sales reps and they are now under instruction to store their laptop, projector and other hardware in the PortaSafe and secure in the boot (trunk) of their vehicle when they are between meetings and in the hotel room when they stop over. All the reps have commented how easy to use the safe is and actually provides a neat way of carrying their equipment from car to meeting venue and back again.\u201d<\/em>

\u201cI travel the world as an independent photographer and use one of your Portasafes to secure my cameras and lenses wherever I go. It is particularly useful on location at a shoot when I can secure it to a tree or some other fixed point and then don\u2019t have to worry about someone taking my stuff. It is also great at the airport and in hotel lobbys when you are waiting around, I\u2019ll simply lock the safe up to a chair or rail and if I get sidetracked by a call on my cell phone or chatting to a colleague I know it will still be there when I turn back around. Really useful!\u201d<\/em>

\u00abI\u2019m a high school teacher teaching design and technology. I\u2019ve had a Cable Lock Alarm for a few months now and more recently purchased a HandiSafe. Congratulations on 2 excellently designed and innovative products.\u201c<\/em>
\nMr Tony Slaney<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201c. . . we\u2019ve been really impressed with the ComputaLock Alarms we bought . They were easy to install and don\u2019t require us to remember to switch on and off like some other devices do. They also look strong enough to dissuade potential thieves, yet are not ugly looking like some other systems. . .\u201d<\/em>
\nThe Garrity Partnership<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m writing to tell you what a wonderful item you make. We first bought a Lock Alarm about 10 months ago for a biking holiday . . . We secured our bikes with it in city streets, at campsites and outside hostels and whilst fortunately there was no sign of someone trying to steal our bikes we are sure it acted as a sufficient deterrent because some other bikes were stolen at the time at some of these locations. Since our return we have bought 2 more, one for our daughter to secure her bike at college, and another for our garden shed to secure our lawnmower, hedge trimmers etc. as there has been a spate of thefts from garages and sheds in our area. Please let us know if you come up with any more great ideas.\u201d<\/em>
\nMrs Angela Briscombe<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cMy wife and I decided to tour Europe for three weeks this Summer in a motorcaravan (RV). We were recommended by some close friends to your products and consequently bought a HandiSafe and Lock Alarm from a local dealer just before we went away this year. We are so pleased we did as we found ourselves needing to use them almost each and every day. The HandiSafe gave us such peace of mind securing our passports, credit cards, money etc. etc. when we left the motorcaravan parked in towns\/cities and also at night when we were asleep. The Lock Alarm was just so useful for protecting almost everything else . . .\u201d<\/em>
