Guest Guest6235 Posted January 9, 2015 Report Share Posted January 9, 2015 (edited) We saw a nice house that we've done the application for but our only concern is the lock which is on the door from the kitchen/living area into the garage. It's not a closed off garage as you can walk from the side of the house through a tall fence/gate and once into the garden there is an bricked opening into the back of the garage, which therefore allows somebody to get to the said door. This lock is just a twisty lock on the round door handle with no other bolt at the bottom, anyone else have this.

Give me a break! Posted January 9, 2015 Report Share Posted January 9, 2015 No and I wouldn't rent a house with a car port. We decided security was too important. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Guest6235 Posted January 9, 2015 Report Share Posted January 9, 2015 That's what we thought, strange idea. On the other hand out here though if someone wants to be in they can easily take off the roof tiles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Guest6235 Posted January 9, 2015 Report Share Posted January 9, 2015 True, in the daylight. This house had the garage door so to get to the opening you had to get through a side gate .... but still, strange concept. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Weedolly Posted January 9, 2015 Report Share Posted January 9, 2015 If you really like the house then ask the owner if you can put a yale lock on the door at your expense. If your paying for it will probably say yes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Druid Posted January 9, 2015 Report Share Posted January 9, 2015 That lock you are talking about is like a hotel door lock, most of them are made by a Company over here called Gainsborough and beleive it or not they are like 5 lever dead bolt style locks same as a fancy Yale, nothing wrong with them, our current front door has one, the open garage concept over here is just a cheap way of building, we have viewed loads of these style properties and walked away as there is no security, owners and agents dont like you changing locks, if you do you have to provide keys to the owner and agent.

Guest Guest6235 Posted January 9, 2015 Report Share Posted January 9, 2015 How much extra would it cost though really when building to have that area bricked in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
