Secure Your Home After a Break-In With Post-Burglary Locksmith Services

Having your home broken into is a frightening experience. Knowing that someone has been inside your property and stolen your belongings is an unnerving feeling.

There are over 5,400 home burglaries in Essex every year, and even when you take precautions such as locking your doors and windows when you are not at home, or installing burglar alarms, many burglars still manage to gain access.

When you’ve been burgled, we’re here for you 24/7 to assist, whether it’s adding temporary locks to your property to secure it or installing brand new locks to replace damaged ones.

Our emergency locksmith service has helped hundreds of customers feel safe in their own homes again after a burglary, and we can even carry out security consultations for homeowners and business owners to prevent burglaries from taking place.

What types of post-burglary repairs can we help with?

Every break-in is different, and we’re available 24 hours a day to make you feel secure in your home again.

Burglars can gain entry to your home using techniques such as lock picking and lock bumping, or with sophisticated devices to bypass smart locks.

They can also use destructive techniques such as using a crowbar on the door to pry it open, by kicking the door, by snapping the lock, or by drilling it.

If the lock itself has been damaged using one of these entry methods, then we can offer a full lock replacement on the spot.

We have a range of high-security locks such as 3-star TS007 Euro cylinders, which are resistant to brute force entry methods like picking, snapping and drilling, as well as insurance-approved BS 3621 mortice locks for timber doors.

If the burglar has gained access using a key that has been lost or stolen, then we can rekey the locks so old keys no longer work, and cut you a brand new set.

We also carry a range of handles and other door accessories to improve the security of your home, such as Yale-style night latches and door chains.

During some break-ins, the door and the frame might be compromised by the entry technique used, and in these cases, we are able to add temporary locks to your home until the door and frame can be repaired.

When this is completed, we can come back and add quality locks to your property at a later date that are fully burglar-proof.

What should you do if your home has been broken into?

The first thing you should do is call the police, who can inspect the property and create a crime report.

Check around your home and make a list of items that are missing for the police, but be careful not to disturb any evidence.

After you’ve called the police, call our emergency locksmith services on 07840 543661 at whatever time of the day or night, and we’ll let you know our estimated time of arrival.

We cover all of the main areas in Essex, such as Colchester, Chelmsford, Braintree, Romford, Brentwood, Southend-on-Sea, and Maldon, so we will aim to be with you as fast as possible.

We don’t charge call-out fees like some burglary repair locksmiths in Essex, and we’ll show you the complete range of locks and security features we can install, whether you want a premium brand or a cost-effective option.
