Get a safe and wire it to the mains when the leaver is pushed down....baseball bat from under the bed just to make sure.

You will probably go to jail so make sure the baseball bat hit is sufficient so you can say it was worth it. One in the knackers just to make sure. (theirs not yours)
I’ve got a handy couple of lengths of old lead pipe. Sorry officer that was all that came to hand when I had to defend myself.

If your average 12 year old can nick a new car without a screwdriver in sight I doubt he’d have a problem with a central locked house.

They way I'd do it would be to use z-wave enable locks with an open source controller and a z-wave pocket remote. Once you've got that in, you can do TRVs, boiler controls, flood detectors, light switches, sockets, geo-location, voice intergration, motion and open sensors and so on. Your imagination is pretty much your only limitation, although some of the logic can be 'interesting'

Window openers are also available, but primarily for roof windows. 'Normal' windows would be trickier, I admit. Personally never really considered windows as 'central locking' although they obviously are on a car, but we don't normally go in and out through them ;)

all sounds great, but do we really need all those gizmos, surely you get to a point where it's just getting ridiculous :rolleyes: and not to mention eventually they will go faulty imo

Of course you don't need them. Moat, drawbridge and portcullis will suffice. With the occasional pot of boiling oil.

I would point your that your dog is absolutely certain to go faulty, eventually ;)

So, basically hit the Knackers as far as you can.
“Out the park” as they say.
Well I was thinking of all of them but I guess that's a start of the punishement for them. How many strikes does it take to pulverise a body enough to wash it down the drain?

Had my Garages broken into but never a house since owning one from 85 mate.


"In the survey year ending March 2017, around 2 in 100 households had been victims of domestic burglary; this compares with around 9 in 100 households in the year ending December 1995, meaning that households are currently four times less likely to be a victim of burglary than in 1995."
