I was amazed to see that gold prices have gone up to 5 times what they were just a few years ago. This is reflected in the many adverts promising cash-for-gold, but it is also sadly spurring an increase in crime. Gold is easy to fence – you just stick it in the prepaid envelope [...]
Thinking of training as a locksmith? Thinking you’ll be getting rich quick, due to the “national shortage” the locksmith training firms are shouting about? For a little perspective, I did a search, and, in brackets after the link, you will see how many testimonials, names or companies there are for each training school… http://www.advancedlocksmiths.org.uk/testimonials.html (7) [...]
Discreet Security doesn’t get much more discreet than a radio remote access control system. Imagine the convenience of being able to open your front door (or any other door) in the same way as your car, with a simple press on a button. Giving higher security, we can also offer voice and video entry systems, [...]
Happy to report that Discreet Security’s first quarter has been up on last year, both in volume of work and turnover.

For the last 12 months the Government, particularly DEFRA and NaCTSO (National Counter Terrorism Security Office) have been telling farmers and farms to secure their fertiliser. If you are interested in having a professional security review, or even secure area penetration testing (where we, with your permission, come and try to break in) then please [...]
I was reading New Scientist (last weeks issue, 12/12/09), and I stumbled across a small but interesting story on page 7: A Chinese woman used plastic surgery to fool a biometric fingerprint scanner. The appropriately named Lin Rong was arrested in Japan for being an illegal immigrant. Police report that she had swapped skin patches [...]
Followers of this blog will probably recall our whitepaper on combination padlocks, and the mention of the mechanical keysafes available, especially the poor security of some of them. Today I received another keysafe. This unit is branded Asec, and also some are branded Burton. At first glance, it looks like the high security Supra keysafe [...]
