Dun Laoghaire / Rathdown, IE enhances home safety for seniors with High Security Locks Scheme

Dun Laoghaire / Rathdown, IE High Security Locks Scheme

The pilot scheme allows homeowners aged 65 and older to request replacement lock parts for exterior doors. Applicants work with contracted locksmiths to determine if existing locks are compatible with parts covered by the program. Council officials approved funding for replacement barrels and cylinders rather than new locks. This scheme doubles down on homeowner safety after a council survey found 93% of seniors considered themselves secure at home.
