Priority on Arrival After a Burglary
When we arrive after a burglary, our top priority is ensuring your property’s security. We immediately assess the situation to determine the best course of action. If your door or window is forced beyond locking, we board it up promptly.
For forced cylinders with intact frames, we replace them the same day to restore security.
We focus on these critical steps:
- Frame and Strike Plate Check: Modern composite doors often withstand attacks with just cylinder replacement, but period doors might need expert joinery, which we coordinate with trusted local contacts.
- Full Lock Change: Every external door gets a full lock change, including back gates and basement accesses, to prevent further unauthorized entry.
- Window Lock Inspection: We check all accessible ground-floor and basement windows for vulnerabilities, especially in areas like West Greenwich and Camberwell Grove.
Our goal is to finish lock work same-day and schedule any needed joinery within 24-48 hours.
What We Install Post-Burglary
After ensuring immediate security post-burglary, our focus shifts to installing robust protection to prevent future incidents.
We start by fitting anti-snap 3-Star cylinders on every external door, using top brands like Ultion and Yale Platinum. These are essential for meeting insurance requirements and safeguarding your property.
For period properties, we either upgrade or service existing BS3621 mortice deadlocks, ensuring heritage doors retain their character with options like Union 2134 or the classic Chubb 3G114E.
If your home features UPVC or composite doors, we check and replace any damaged multipoint gearboxes to restore full functionality.
Ground-floor windows gain added security with key-operated locks, particularly important in areas like Camberwell Grove.
In commercial settings, such as Bermondsey Street boutiques, we often recommend upgrading to ASSA Twin Combi restricted-key systems for high-security areas.
Our installations provide security and a fortified defense against future threats.

for restoring doors in conservation areas, choosing between same-day restoration and multi-day heritage joinery can be essential.
Same-day restoration offers immediate security, ensuring your property is quickly protected after an incident. It’s perfect for urgent situations where time is of the essence, helping us secure your home without delay.
On the other hand, multi-day heritage joinery focuses on preserving the historical and architectural integrity of your property. This approach is ideal for those who value craftsmanship and want to maintain the original aesthetic of their doors.
Although it takes more time, the results are often worth the wait, adding long-term value and authenticity to your home.
In making your decision, consider the urgency of your situation and the importance of maintaining historical details.
We’re here to guide you through the process, ensuring you make the best choice for your needs and the character of your property.
