Insurance Lock Upgrades
We upgrade locks to British Standard BS3621 for insurance compliance. This includes installing kitemarked locks that meet most home insurance policy requirements. Free security checks identify vulnerabilities in existing systems.
Master Key Systems
Custom master key systems allow single-key access across multiple doors. Ideal for hotels, B&Bs, and HMOs, with submaster options for staff access. Each room has unique locks accessible by master keys held by owners or managers.
UPVC Door Realignment
We realign dropped or sticking uPVC doors to prevent multi-point lock damage. This service extends lock lifespan and avoids expensive repairs by addressing alignment issues before failure occurs.

Police-approved wall-mounted keysafes provide secure key storage for emergency access. Particularly beneficial for elderly care or rental properties, allowing paramedics or carers instant access without compromising security.
