Most burglaries are opportunistic and exploit weak, outdated locks. “Lock snapping”, where a standard euro cylinder is snapped in seconds, is one of the most common methods on uPVC doors. Upgrading is quick, affordable and dramatically improves your security.
Where most homes are weakest
We fit 3-star anti-snap euro cylinders, British Standard mortice locks and reinforced hardware such as security handles, sash jammers and door chains. If your insurer has asked for specific locks (often BS3621), we'll fit exactly what's needed and confirm it for you.
Not sure where you're vulnerable? We offer a friendly security check and honest advice, no pressure, no upselling.
