Ever wondered if it's time to rekey your locks? We often overlook this crucial aspect of home security, but it's important to know when it's necessary.
Here's when you might consider rekeying:
When we arrive at your home, our first step is to evaluate the situation. We take a careful look at your existing locks to understand their condition and operation. This helps us determine the best approach for rekeying.
We'll inquire about any specific concerns you might have, ensuring we're aligned with your needs.
Next, we gather the necessary tools and supplies from our van. We're equipped for a range of tasks, so we're ready to handle different lock types. Our goal is to work effectively without disrupting your day.
We then begin the rekeying process. By changing the internal pins, we ensure that your old keys no longer work, while providing you with new keys that fit perfectly. This enhances your security without needing a full lock replacement.
Once done, we'll test the new keys and confirm everything operates smoothly before leaving.
In our work, we handle a wide variety of locks and doors, making sure your home stays secure. We work on everything from classic mortice deadlocks to modern smart locks. Whether you live in a Victorian terrace or a sleek new-build, we've got the expertise to match your needs.
We often rekey traditional mortice deadlocks like the Union 2134 and Yale PM562. These are common in older properties and offer solid security.
For those with UPVC doors, we handle multipoint locking systems using brands like Mila and Yale Lockmaster. These systems are great for extra security and sealing.
We also install and service smart locks, like the Yale Conexis L2 and Nuki Smart Lock 4.0, for those who prefer keyless entry.
Each type of door and lock presents its own challenges, but we're skilled in handling them all, ensuring your property is secure and functional.

Call 020 3376 6170One of the great things about euro cylinders is how straightforward they're to change. If you lose your keys or need better security, replacing the cylinder doesn't require a full lock replacement. It's a quick swap that can be done with minimal fuss.
You'll find these locks come in different sizes and security ratings, so it's easy to pick one that matches your door and security needs.
In Dalston and beyond, euro cylinders offer a reliable and accessible way to keep homes secure.
Call us on 020 3376 6170Euro cylinders are great for quick changes, but sometimes we need something sturdier. That's where mortice deadlocks come in.
These locks are fitted inside the door itself, making them more secure. They're ideal for external doors and provide a solid level of protection. We often recommend models like the Union 2134 and Yale PM562 for their reliability.
Installing a mortice deadlock involves cutting a pocket, or mortice, into the door. This might sound complex, but it's a job we've done countless times.
Once installed, these locks are robust and hard to tamper with.
Mortice deadlocks also meet the BS3621 standard, which is often required by insurance companies. This means they've been tested for durability and security.
Choosing the right lock is key, and we believe mortice deadlocks offer a balance of strength and resilience for any Dalston home.
When it comes to securing UPVC doors, multipoint mechanisms are a game changer. They offer enhanced security by locking the door at multiple points along the frame. This makes it much harder for anyone to force entry, compared to a single lock system.
These mechanisms usually include a combination of hooks, rollers, and bolts that engage when you lift the door handle and turn the key. It's like having several locks in one go, providing a tight seal and extra security. We often see brands like Mila, GU Ferco, Fuhr, and Yale Lockmaster in use across Dalston.
Installing or maintaining these systems might seem tricky, but it's essential for keeping your doors in top shape. Regular checks and maintenance ensure they operate smoothly. If you notice any issues like sticking or difficulty in locking, it's a good idea to get them looked at promptly to avoid bigger problems down the line.
