Burglary Repairs – Securing Your Property After a Break-In

Experiencing a burglary can be a distressing and unsettling event. One of the most immediate concerns after such an incident is securing your property to prevent further unauthorized access. Professional locksmiths play a crucial role in burglary repairs, ensuring that any damage caused during the break-in is promptly assessed and fixed.

Assessing the Damage

A locksmith will inspect the entry points that have been compromised. This may include forced entry through doors, broken or snapped locks, damaged window locks, or even vandalized security systems. Identifying the extent of the damage helps in determining the best repair or replacement solution.

Lock Replacement & Repairs

If a lock has been broken, drilled, or snapped, it may need to be replaced entirely. Locksmiths can supply and install new, high-security locks that comply with insurance standards, such as British Standard BS3621 locks. In cases where the damage is minor, a skilled locksmith may be able to repair the existing lock, restoring its functionality and reinforcing its strength.

Boarding Up Services

In cases where a door or window has been damaged beyond repair, boarding up services may be necessary to secure the property temporarily. This prevents unauthorized access and protects your premises until permanent repairs can be made.

Upgrading Security

After a break-in, improving your property's security is highly recommended. Locksmiths can advise on and install additional security measures, such as:

  • High-security anti-snap or smart locks
  • Reinforced door frames and strike plates
  • Security bars and window locks
  • 5 Lever Btitish Standard Locks (BS3621)
  • Security bolt locks and deadbolts
