belt and braces

[Severus]

Καλή Κυριακή σε όλους!
Προσπαθώ να βρω μια δόκιμη απόδοση για την παγιωμένη έκφραση "belt and braces" (ζώνη και τιράντες), η οποία αναφέρεται στη χρήση δύο διαφορετικών μέσων για να επιτευχθεί το ίδιο αποτέλεσμα, π.χ. η ασφάλιση της πόρτας και με σύρτη και με κλειδί/κλειδαριά.

'Belt and braces' means being careful - taking double measures to avoid risk. It alludes to the use of both belt and braces to hold up a person's trousers.

Παράδειγμα χρήσης:
‘the envelope was sealed with tape and staples, a real belt and braces job’

Πώς θα την αποδίδατε εσείς;
Ευχαριστώ!

Κάπου θα χωράει το «παρέχει διπλή ασφάλεια», αλλά είναι τόσες οι διαφορετικές συντάξεις και χρήσεις που θα μας βάλω την πρόκληση να βρούμε πετυχημένες διατυπώσεις για όλα τα παραδείγματα του διαδικτυακού ODE:

Το φύλαγε τα ρούχα σου να 'χεις τα μισά θα ήταν δόκιμο, π.χ. για το 1ο παράδειγμα;
Το παρέχει διπλή ασφάλεια/προστασία είναι, νομίζω, πολύ καλή απόδοση.

Κάπου θα χωράει το «παρέχει διπλή ασφάλεια»,

Επίσης, «πρόσθετη/ επιπρόσθετη ασφάλεια», «πρόσθετα μέτρα ασφαλείας», «ύψιστη ασφάλεια».

Για το «belts and braces approach»:
-ιδιαίτερα προσεκτική προσέγγιση
