Locks
We supply and install various locks including BS3621:2007 insurance-rated locks, digital keypad systems, and restricted locks to prevent unauthorised duplication. Our inventory covers nightlatches, padlocks, and specialised security hardware for doors, windows, and outbuildings. All installations meet current security standards while offering practical access solutions.
Security Grilles
Custom-made security grilles and shutters provide enhanced protection against forced entry. Available in mesh, perforated, and lattice designs, these products combine visual deterrence with aesthetic appeal. We supply and install solutions for residential and commercial properties, including schools and businesses requiring enhanced window and door security.
UPVC Repairs
Specialist UPVC door and window repairs address common security vulnerabilities. We upgrade locking mechanisms to TS007-rated anti-snap cylinders, replace broken components, and realign misaligned doors. Our solutions enhance security while maintaining the functionality of modern PVCu doors and windows.
Safes
We supply and install domestic and commercial safes for valuables and document protection. Options include key, combination, and biometric locking systems. We also provide lock changes, combination updates, and servicing for existing safes, with occasional reconditioned units available for budget-conscious customers.
Anti Snap Locks
Our anti-snap locks prevent cylinder snapping attacks through reinforced construction and sacrificial breaking points. We install Mul-T-Lock Break Secure XP cylinders with TS007 3* ratings, meeting police-recommended Secured by Design standards. These upgrades protect properties against forced entry while maintaining operational security features.
