PUBLIC NOTICE

To Our Valued Clients and Suppliers

After 13 years of serving the Blairgowrie community and surrounding areas, it is with great sadness that we announce the closure of Wardhaugh Security, effective 30 September 2026.

Operating a business in South Africa has become increasingly challenging in recent years due to ongoing economic pressures and difficult trading conditions. Despite our best efforts, we have reached the difficult decision to cease operations.

Over the past 13 years, we have been privileged to work alongside outstanding clients and suppliers who have supported us throughout our journey. We are incredibly proud of the relationships we have built and the many businesses, families, and organisations we have assisted in overcoming their security challenges.

On behalf of the entire Wardhaugh Security team, I would like to extend my sincere gratitude to every client, supplier, and partner who has supported us over the years. Your loyalty, trust, and friendship have meant more than words can express.

As we prepare to close our doors, we will be holding a Closing Down Sale throughout September, offering exceptional bargains across a range of products. We invite you to visit us and take advantage of these final opportunities.

Thank you for being part of the Wardhaugh Security story.

With sincere appreciation,

James Wardhaugh

⚠️ SECURITY TIP ⚠️ FYI for my non-locksmith friends... 👇
The strike plate on your homes entry doors are every bit as important as the lock itself, and in many cases, it's even more important.

Most modern deadbolts feature a full 1-inch bolt throw, which sounds great on paper. The problem is that many strike plates are only about 1/16-inch thick and are secured with tiny 1/2-inch screws. To make matters worse, many door frames and jambs are made from soft woods like pine.

That's why good 3-inch wood screws are a must.

Those longer screws pass through the trim and jamb and anchor directly into the 2x4 framing surrounding the door. This dramatically increases the door's ability to resist a kick-in attempt by distributing the force into the structure of the house instead of the weak decorative trim.
*Also consider replacing at least one screw on each hinge with a 3" screw. The normal hinge screws are also only ½" to ¾" long.

Without longer screws, the trim around the strike plate can easily split or blow out during a forced entry attempt.

There are also several reinforced strike plate systems on the market. Google "Tuff Strike" or "Door Devil." I use both types of these strikes on different doors of my own home.

For just a few dollars, you can significantly strengthen one of the weakest points in your home's security.

At the very least, stop by your local hardware store, pick up a handful of 3-inch deck screws (deck screws are more brittle than traditional wood screws, but it's better than nothing), and upgrade your strike plates. It's one of the cheapest and most effective security improvements you can make.
