What We Install Post-Burglary

After securing your property post-burglary, we focus on installing robust security measures tailored to your needs.

We start by fitting anti-snap 3-Star cylinders from trusted brands like Ultion, ABS Master, and Yale Platinum on all external doors. These cylinders meet insurer requirements and greatly enhance your home's security.

Next, we assess and upgrade mortice deadlocks, ensuring they meet BS3621 standards using options like the Union 2134 or Yale PM562.

For UPVC doors, we inspect hook engagements and replace gearboxes if there's any damage from forced entry.

If your property features period doors, we service existing mortice locks to maintain their integrity.

Additionally, we add key-operated locks to windows lacking them, increasing overall security.

For Wembley Park apartments, we offer optional smart-lock alarm integrations, combining convenience with cutting-edge protection.

Our installations aim to restore your and fortify your home against future threats.

We provide you with a detailed, itemized invoice listing each lock product code, such as Ultion 3-Star part numbers and BS3621 mortice certifications. Our pack includes photographs of the forced area both before and after repairs, ensuring you have clear evidence for your insurer.

We also provide a written statement confirming that the installed specifications meet your insurer's requirements.

To further assist, we include before-and-after photos of the cylinder, clearly showing the 3-Star Diamond marking. Additionally, you'll receive a copy of our public liability insurance certificate.

Same-Day Restoration vs Multi-Day Joinery

When faced with a burglary, quick decisions are essential, especially for choosing between same-day restoration and multi-day joinery. We need to weigh the urgency of securing our property against the benefits of extensive repairs.

Same-day restoration offers immediate, swiftly addressing broken locks and compromised entry points. It's perfect when we need quick protection and minimal disruption.

However, multi-day joinery might be worth considering for more extensive damage. While it requires more time, it allows for thorough craftsmanship and tailored solutions. This approach can enhance the overall security and aesthetics of our property in the long run.

Ultimately, the choice depends on our specific needs and circumstances. If immediate safety is the priority, a quick fix works best. But if we're aiming for a long-term solution with detailed restoration, investing in multi-day joinery is the way to go.
