What We Do When We Arrive

When you notice those signs telling you it's time for a secure opening, we're ready to jump into action. As soon as we arrive, our first step is to evaluate the situation. We listen as you describe the issue and inspect the safe carefully. This helps us plan the best way to open it without causing damage.

Next, we gather the tools we require. Our team brings everything from specialised picks to digital devices, ensuring we're prepared for any type of mechanism. We work systematically, focusing on precision and skill.

Throughout the process, we keep you updated, explaining each step so you know what's happening. We're efficient, aiming to finish the job swiftly while ensuring everything remains intact.

Once open, we check the safe's functionality, doing any quick fixes if needed. Our objective is to ensure everything works smoothly before we leave.

Types of Locks and Doors We Work On

Working on a variety of locks and doors is something we're well-versed in, and it keeps our job interesting. We deal with everything from traditional mortice deadlocks to advanced smart locks.

Whether it's Victorian terraces or modern new-builds, each type of door presents its own challenges and keeps us on our toes.

For those classic homes, we often tackle mortice deadlocks like the Union 2134. These are sturdy and secure, perfect for period properties.

In contrast, modern homes often feature UPVC doors, which require specialised multipoint gearboxes. Brands like Mila and Yale Lockmaster are common in these setups.

We also enjoy working with smart locks, such as the Yale Conexis L2. These locks offer convenience and security without the need for a traditional key.

Every lock and door type needs a different approach, and that's what makes our work so engaging. We're always ready to take on the next challenge!

Euro Cylinder Locks

We suggest using brands like Ultion Smart, ABS Master, Yale Superior, and ERA Fortress. These options offer enhanced security features like anti-snap, anti-bump, and anti-pick protection.

When choosing a euro cylinder, consider the lock's length and ensure it fits snugly without protruding too much.

If you're thinking about upgrading your lock, it's worth checking the current one's security grade.

A good euro cylinder lock can make a significant difference in protecting your home.

Always consult a professional if you're unsure about installation or compatibility.

Mortice Deadlocks

Mortice deadlocks are a sound choice for enhancing home security. They're known for their strength and reliability. We often recommend them for those looking to bolster their home's protection.

These locks fit into a pocket cut into the door, which makes them more secure than surface-mounted options.

You'll find that mortice deadlocks, like the Union 2134 and Yale PM562, meet the British Standard BS3621, ensuring they're up to par for insurance purposes.

We suggest checking if your current locks comply with this standard.

Installing a mortice deadlock requires some skill, but it's worth the trouble.

They're typically used on front doors, adding an extra layer of security.

We always say it's a good idea to have one fitted by a professional to ensure it's done correctly.

UPVC Multipoint Mechanisms

Installing a UPVC multipoint lock is like giving your door a much-needed upgrade. You'll find different brands like Mila, GU Ferco, Fuhr, and Yale Lockmaster, which are known for their reliability. Each mechanism has hooks, rollers, and bolts that engage when you lift the handle, securing the door tightly.

Why choose UPVC? They're durable and resistant to weather, so you get long-lasting security. They're perfect for various property types, including Victorian terraces and new-builds across Hackney and North/East London.

With these mechanisms, we can be confident in our home's security, knowing it's a smart choice for modern living.

When to Repair vs Replace

Deciding whether to repair or replace a lock can be tricky, but it doesn't have to be overwhelming. We often face this question when dealing with locks in our homes. Sometimes a simple fix is all it takes, while other times, a replacement is the best choice. Here's a quick guide to help:

ConditionRepairReplace
Minor Damage✔ Yes❌ No
Major Damage❌ No✔ Yes
Age Over 10 Years❌ No✔ Yes
Cost-Effective✔ Yes❌ No
Security Upgrade❌ No✔ Yes

If the lock has minor damage or is cost-effective to repair, a quick fix might suffice. However, if the lock is over ten years old or severely damaged, replacing it ensures better security. Always consider your specific situation to decide what's best.
