Anti-Snap Lock Installation
We install TS007 and BS 3621 compliant anti-snap locks to prevent forced entry. These high-security cylinders resist 13-second lock snapping techniques through reinforced construction. Each installation includes three keys and security advice tailored to property requirements.
uPVC Door Repairs
Specialist repairs for uPVC doors including hinge replacement, handle mechanisms, and locking systems. We restore functionality to older doors using obsolete parts where possible, offering cost-effective solutions compared to full replacements while maintaining security standards.
Emergency Lockouts
24-hour emergency service for lockouts and broken locks. Our rapid response team uses non-destructive entry techniques where possible, providing temporary security solutions until permanent repairs can be completed at client convenience.
Security Surveys
Free comprehensive security assessments identifying vulnerabilities in existing door systems. We evaluate lock strength, door construction weaknesses, and recommend upgrades to insurance-approved standards, helping reduce burglary risks for homes and businesses.
Lock Rekeying
Professional rekeying services for enhanced security. We replace euro profile cylinders with anti-snap alternatives while maintaining existing door hardware. Each service includes new key sets and security advice to prevent unauthorised access through previous key holders.
