Sometimes it’s the seemingly little things that can make a big difference to the security of your premises. We’ve done a bit of work involving blocker plates lately and this is a great example of a small step you can take to improve security.

What are blocker plates?

Blocker plates are designed to help prevent access to a lock’s latch or the bolt of the lock that holds the door shut. They also help prevent slipping the latch or the old credit card trick that you see in a lot of movies and T.V. shows.
