SECURITY UPGRADES
Upgrade Your Home Locks & Security
A security upgrade should be based on the door, existing hardware and how the property is used—not simply fitting the most expensive lock. We can inspect what you already have and explain which improvements are worthwhile.
Upgrade options
Higher-security cylinders
For compatible doors, an improved cylinder can strengthen the key-operated part of the locking system without replacing a sound multipoint mechanism.
British Standard locks
On suitable timber doors, we can discuss lock options that meet recognised British Standards and are appropriate for the door and application.
Replace weak or worn hardware
Security is not only about the lock specification. Loose, worn or poorly fitted components and door alignment can affect how reliably a door secures.
Review several external doors
Front, rear, side and patio doors may use very different systems. We can review them together and prioritise improvements rather than replacing everything indiscriminately.
What we consider
We consider the door construction, existing lock, frame, how the locking points engage and your practical requirements. Where the existing setup is already sound, we will say so.
Moving home or upgrading an older property?
We can combine a key-control change with a wider security review so you know which parts have been changed, which remain serviceable and where further improvement may be worthwhile.
