How We Secure the Property First
When a burglary occurs, our top priority is securing your property immediately. We know the urgency and stress involved, so we act swiftly to restore your security.
Here's how we prioritize our actions:
- Immediate Securing: We board up doors or windows forced beyond locking and replace cylinders same-day if the frame's intact.
- Damage Assessment: We check frame and strike plate damage. In areas like UB5 Northolt, composite doors often withstand attacks with just a cylinder replacement.
- Lock Replacement: We conduct a full lock change on all external doors, including back gates and garden access, common in W3 Acton terraces and W5 Ealing villas.
- Window Security: We examine ground-floor and basement window locks, essential for W13 West Ealing and UB1 Southall flats.
We verify everything's documented for insurance claims, providing a same-day finish on lock work.

The Replacement Locks We Fit After a Break-In
After a burglary, ensuring your home is secure with the right installations is our immediate focus. We install TS007 3-Star anti-snap euro cylinders on every external door, addressing the common weak point of old factory cylinders. This upgrade meets most insurers' requirements, ensuring your coverage remains intact.
For wooden doors, we retain or upgrade BS3621 mortice deadlocks, servicing the original mortice where heritage matters, especially in conservation areas like Bedford Park and Hanwell Village Green. On standard wood doors, we replace them to BS3621 specifications.
We also inspect UPVC and composite doors, checking multipoint hook engagement and replacing gearboxes if there's any sign of forced-entry damage.
Ground-floor window key-operated locks are added where missing, particularly in W13 West Ealing and UB1 Southall. Additionally, UB6 Greenford and UB5 Northolt properties receive a 3-Star cylinder upgrade for back-and-side doors, ensuring thorough security.

Quick Fix or Heritage Joinery on Period Doors
When facing the challenge of restoring conservation-sensitive doors, homeowners often weigh the benefits of same-day restoration against the meticulous approach of multi-day heritage joinery.
Same-day restoration provides immediate security and reassurance, especially after a burglary. We know that quick fixes can be vital in ensuring safety.
However, for those of us dedicated to preserving historical integrity, multi-day heritage joinery may be more appealing. This detailed approach respects the original craftsmanship, using traditional techniques and materials that honor the door's history.
It takes more time, but the results maintain the door's character and value. We feel it's essential to balance urgency with a commitment to quality and heritage.
Whether opting for a swift fix or a painstaking restoration, the choice depends on priorities: immediate security or preserving historical elegance.
Either way, ensuring the best outcome for your home is what matters most.
