Services
Locks
We supply and install a wide range of locks, including BS3621:2007-compliant models for insurance purposes, digital keypad locks, and restricted locks to prevent unauthorised duplication. Our inventory covers nightlatches, padlocks, and replacement cylinders, ensuring solutions for both domestic and commercial needs. With expertise in emergency lockouts and lock upgrades, we prioritise security and accessibility for all clients.
UPVC Lock Repairs
Specialising in UPVC door and window mechanisms, we address vulnerabilities highlighted by media coverage through advanced solutions like TS007-rated anti-snap cylinders. Services include cylinder upgrades, keyed-alike systems, and security handle installations. Our engineers repair faulty mechanisms and offer realignment services, ensuring compliance with modern security standards while maintaining the functionality of your UPVC systems.
Safes
We provide supply and installation of security and fire-resistant safes for domestic and commercial use, including freestanding models with key, combination, or biometric access. Our services extend to lock and combination changes, servicing, and reconditioned safe sales. We assess client needs to recommend optimal solutions, ensuring protection against theft and fire damage while adhering to insurance requirements.
Security Grilles
Our bespoke security grilles and shutters offer enhanced protection against forced entry for homes and businesses. Available in mesh, perforated, and lattice designs, these made-to-measure products combine aesthetic appeal with robust security. Ideal for windows and doors, they act as both a deterrent and a physical barrier, tailored to complement your property's existing features.
Anti Snap Locks
We combat lock-snapping techniques with TS007 3-star-rated anti-snap cylinders, engineered to resist break-ins. These reinforced locks replace standard euro cylinders, featuring sacrificial points that leave the door secure even under attack. As approved MLA members, we ensure installations meet police-recommended Secured by Design standards, providing peace of mind for homeowners and businesses.
