Back to school security with Squire

Although it may seem as though the summer holidays have only just begun, the new school term will soon be approaching.

The start of the academic year is an exciting time for students nationwide, but amidst the anticipation, it’s important to also think about keeping personal possessions safe when back to school.

In this blog, we’ll take you through some simple security upgrades you can make to ensure the next school year is as safe as possible.

Keep lockers locked

School lockers are often in open corridor spaces and are frequently used to store books and stationery, as well as more expensive items such as phones and laptops.

Keep lockers, and the belongings inside, secure with a high-quality padlock, such as our CP40 or Vulcan Combi 40, which are cost-effective without compromise to quality. The combinations are easily resettable if the code is forgotten and the padlocks are small enough to be stashed away when required. The Vulcan Combi 40 is also available with a longer 2.5in shackle if required for different locker styles.

Looking for a lock with a physical key? The Lion LN5 is the perfect alternative. Made from solid brass, it’s incredibly hardwearing and built to stand up to the wear and tear of everyday school life.

At-home security

If your kids are often getting home before you do, then it’s time to invest in a key safe. Front door keys can easily be misplaced at school – accidentally left in a locker or vanishing to the bottom of the school bag. 

Ideal for attaching to a wall outside the home, the KeyKeep™️ 1 and KeyKeep™️ 2 can be used to safely store house keys so kids can let themselves into the home, even you’re not around.

With a diecast construction, these weatherproof key safes are designed to withstand attack, and can be used near entry doorways or gates. Offering a choice of a combination lock or button code, simply share the code with those who need it for them to enjoy fuss-free access.   

Two-wheel safety

Heading to college or university? If you use a bike to get around campus or to get to and from classes, ensure they are locked up safely between lessons, or when parked outside Uni halls at night, is crucial.

Our Matterhorn Compact 10c D-Lock is the perfect option for students who are always on the move. Lightweight and compact, this D-Lock offers high-quality protection for your bike, with Sold Secure Pedal Cycle Diamond approval for complete peace of mind.

With a hardened steel shackle and double locking system, you can park your bike up safely knowing it will stand up to any would-be thieves. The Matterhorn Compact 10c D-Lock also includes a security cable, which is flexible and steel-reinforced for securing wheels and accessories, offering an additional layer of security.
