Making the door secure again
A forced door usually has a broken lock, a split frame, or a cylinder that has been snapped. The locksmith looks at the door and the frame, repairs the lock where it can be repaired, and replaces the parts that cannot. The door is tested with you once the work is done, so you can see it locking properly before the locksmith leaves.
Upgrading the locks
A break-in is the moment most people ask for better locks. A five-lever mortice lock to BS3621 on a timber door, an anti-snap cylinder where it suits your door, or a stronger keep on the frame can all make the door harder to force. The locksmith will look at your doors and explain what would help, in general terms, before any work is agreed.
Letterbox security
A letterbox can be a weak point — a hand through the letterbox can reach keys left near the door or turn a thumb-turn cylinder from inside. A letterbox guard, an internal cover, or moving keys away from the door all help. The locksmith can fit letterbox security as part of the repair, and will tell you what suits your door.
Door security upgrades
Beyond the lock itself, a door can be strengthened with hinge bolts, a door chain, or a door viewer, so you can see who is at the door before opening it. These are small fittings, and they suit timber doors best. Tell the locksmith what you want the door to do, and the options will be explained on the call.
Insurance
Check your home insurance policy after a break-in, and keep the crime reference number the police give you. Your insurer may ask what locks are fitted — the locksmith can tell you what is fitted after the work, and you should keep the receipt and any paperwork that comes with the locks.
