Boarding and Locks After a Forced Door

Dealing with communal entrances and flat front doors has taught us the importance of swift action when security is compromised. When a door is forced, it's essential to restore safety quickly.

We start by boarding up the damaged area to secure your property immediately. Our team then assesses the frame, ensuring any necessary repairs are made on the spot. If glass is broken, we replace it promptly to restore both security and aesthetics.

Rekeying the locks is a critical step, ensuring that any lost or compromised keys no longer pose a threat. We handle everything in one visit, minimizing disruption.

Additionally, we document all damage thoroughly, providing you with the necessary reports for insurance claims. Our mobile service is available 24/7, so you can have knowing help is just a phone call away at 07446 207746.

Anti-Snap Sense for Tulse Hill Homes

For the security of your Tulse Hill home, understanding anti-snap locks is essential. We've noticed that many homes use euro profile cylinders on uPVC and composite doors, making them vulnerable to snapping—a common burglary technique.

To combat this, we recommend installing TS007 3-star cylinders. These locks provide top-tier protection, ensuring that the cylinder sits flush with your door, reducing exposure and the risk of snapping.

For street-facing doors, one reliable brand we suggest is Ultion. Their robust design offers added security.

Installing these anti-snap locks can make a significant difference, especially in areas with tall Victorian villas and bay-fronted terraces like ours.

Our team is ready to help you choose and fit the right locks, ensuring your home is as secure as possible.

Rekeying When Keys Go Missing

Losing your keys can be stressful, but rekeying your locks offers a practical solution. It's more cost-effective than replacing the lock entirely, provided the lock itself is still in good condition.

When keys go missing, rekeying allows us to change the internal mechanism so old keys no longer work. This guarantees security without the hassle and expense of new hardware.

In shared houses, labeled key sets can prevent mix-ups and make it easier to keep track of who's access.

For landlords managing Houses in Multiple Occupation (HMOs), using restricted keys can be invaluable. Restricted keys can't be copied without authorization, guaranteeing that only designated individuals can produce duplicates, consequently adding an extra layer of security.

At Newell Glass & Locks, we're familiar with the local housing styles and can quickly respond to your rekeying needs.

Let's keep your home secure and your mind at ease.

Frequently Asked Questions

How quickly can you get to Tulse Hill?

About 12-18 minutes from our base at 28 Berridge Road in Upper Norwood, north-west from the ridge. You get an honest arrival window on the call, and we ring if traffic changes it.

Can you rekey rather than replace when keys go missing?

Often, yes. If the mechanism is sound, rekeying or swapping the cylinder is enough to kill the missing keys, which matters on shared houses and flats where a full lock change on every door is overkill.

Do you charge a call-out fee in Tulse Hill?

No. The price is agreed on the phone before an engineer sets off and it does not change when we arrive. If you would rather we left it alone once we have looked, you do not pay.

Can you come out at night in Tulse Hill?

Yes. The estates and terraces around Tulse Hill station are covered through the night. Roads are quieter after midnight, so late calls often beat the daytime window.

Can you replace broken glass in Tulse Hill as well as the lock?

Yes. We are a glazier as well as a locksmith, so a forced or smashed door is boarded the same night and reglazed on a follow-up visit, with the lock work done at the same time rather than by a second trade.
