Common security questions

If you can't find an answer to your question please get in touch,
call Stephen Fretwell on freephone 0800 955 8787.

  • How do I know if my door locks are weak and making my property vulnerable?

    It’s more than likely that if your doors are more than 5 years old or you haven’t asked specifically for anti-snap locks, you will have the most common lock, the euro-cylinder lock which is exactly what criminals are looking for.

    If you have any concerns please give me a call and I’ll explain what can be done to upgrade your locks and secure your property.
  • My uPVC door handle is broken, do I need to replace the entire door?

    No, it’s likely that after years of use your uPVC door or window multipoint lock mechanism will have failed through general wear.

    The good news is that this does not mean you need to replace the complete door or window, for 99% of uPVC manufacturers I will have an alternative multipoint lock in stock. The alternative lock will give you at least the same level of security, or even increase it with the upgraded version.
  • I’m moving house, can you change all the locks in my new property so I have peace of mind it’s secure?

    Yes, I have a House Movers Lock Package which is designed to do just that... not knowing who else has your new house keys when you move in is one worry you could do without.

    The lock package includes a complete change to all external and internal door locks including the garage if there is one. We can even arrange for this to be done on the day you move in.
  • How quickly can you get out to see me if I have a problem with my locks?

    I am centrally located in South Yorkshire and have easy access to the M18, M1 motorways and A1. My emergency call-out service is available 24 hours a day, 7 days per week – just call me on 07990 573857 and I will be with you as soon as possible, often within an hour.
