Burglary Repairs in Grimsby

Window Boarding and Lock Changed Following a Burglary

Lockforce Locksmiths in Grimsby not only offer locksmith services such as lock changes we also offer several other security services to make sure you remain safe and secure in your home and business.

We were called to a property on 29/12/2021 to attend a building following a break-in on inspection it was clear to see they had smashed the window to use the keys that were left in the inside of the door to open the door and gain entry.

We set to work cleaning up the broken glass and replacing the Euro cylinder lock with a new one as they took the keys with them and even locked the door as they left. Then the window was boarded up till replacement glass could be delivered to be refitted to the door.

What are "Insurance Approved and British Standard locks" and why do you need them?

Okay this is a big one for two reasons!

Firstly - When taking out home insurance, most insurance companies will have in the small print that your locks must meet a minimum security standard. If you are not meeting this criteria you could invalidate your insurance in the event of a break-in.

Secondly - British standard locks are much safer and secure than a standard factory fitted lock. They are tested to replicate wear and tear over time and also against the most common methods of break ins. Unfortunately most new build houses and new front or patio doors are fitted with none British standard or factory fitted locks which makes it so much easier for criminals!

How to tell if you have a British standard lock?

Check for a Kite mark (which looks like a heart) on your lock.

If you are still in doubt, contact us and not only will we check your locks for free, we'll also carry out a FREE home security survey! You can't say fairer than that.

Alternatively give us a ring or message us through Facebook.

Don't make it easy for them!

We personally at Lockforce Locksmiths Leeds also read reviews for any service we book from Hotel stays to restaurants and services such as building works. If we are looking to have works completed on our house we would firstly Google the business name to view what platforms they are on and make sure they are not “here today and gone tomorrow” company and that they have a established business, then look at the reviews and check that they have them on many different platforms and websites and that they have a good a mix and quantity of customer's.

Not reviewed and checked

Sadly at Lockforce Locksmiths Leeds we are often called after a customer has previously had a bad experience of a Locksmith company, the Locksmith company they called upon was not checked and reviewed and as well as the cost very expensive and over charged the work was substandard and often they have refused to call back and rectify a lock problem they have fitted.

Upvc Doors Suddenly wont lock, open or shut

With the warmer weather upon us one of the most common calls I receive is one mentioning the above issues.

I recently completed a multi-point locking system replacement for a customer who called Lockforce Locksmiths Southampton and after one week when the warmer weather struck I had a call back mentioning the door struggled to open freely.
I reassured the customer that all work carried out by Lockforce locksmiths in Southampton carries a one-year warranty, however I also mentioned that the issue would not be down to the new locking system I installed but it was the sudden change of temperature expanding the Upvc doors themselves.
I arranged to pop around that morning free of charge (as it’s part of the service when you choose Lockforce Southampton). I then adjusted all the multipoint locking rebates, so the door closes freely.
As part of the service being your local community locksmith, I showed the customer how to adjust the rebates so later, when the weather changes for the colder, he can adjust the system back to its original state.

All part of the locksmith service in Southampton, so choose Richard at Lockforce Southampton, your local community locksmith and call me on 07542 513 739 or visit https://www.lockforce.co.uk/locksmith/Southampton/ https://www.checkatrade.com/LockforceSouthampton/

The Importance of Clearing Up...

When you're working in someone's home and offering a service that you expect to be paid for, it goes without saying that you should carry out the job as though it were your own home.

That simple rule is always followed by Lockforce locksmiths in Bridgend and something I thought everyone would do. But when I arrived at a customer's house to deal with a front door that wouldn't open, I was surprised to hear that another locksmith had already been out. He claimed to have fixed it but hadn't and also had left the remnants of the old lock still outside the front of the house!

I examined the door and the new lock, opened the door for the customer without causing anymore damage. The actual problem with the composite door was an alignment issue and not the lock. But still, inside the hallway was all the mess and metal filings from where the old lock had been drilled out.

Lockforce locksmiths in Bridgend will wear overshoes when entering your home. Dust sheets will be used when any work is required to be done to your door frame or your door itself, and I'll always sweep or hoover up at the end of the job.

The customer is now delighted with the work and the manner in which it was carried out, so it pays to go the extra mile!

Lockforce Locksmiths Scunthorpe Working over the Festive Period

Lockforce Locksmiths are all ways working

Over this festive period, we have been busy, getting people back into their home, dealing with faulty / broken doors and making homes safe again after burglary’s

A few ways to keep your home safe

Lock all doors and windows every time you leave the house even if nipping to the shop we see most burglary’s last about 4 minutes in that time they have everything they need and are gone again.

Lock doors even when you are at home.

The sad fact now is that burglars don’t care if your home or not recent the amount of burglary’s during the day has gone up considerably they open doors grab bags and keys and leave again either with your bag or even your car.

It’s best to just lock your door as you are not insured if your door is not locked anyway. You can leave the key in the door, so you can get in and out easily but just

Make sure your door is lock and remove keys on a night.
