Burglary repairs in Golborne, what to expect
- Same-day securing so the property is safe to leave
- Forced cylinders replaced and upgraded to anti-snap specification
- Full mechanism checked, not just the visible damage
Making the property secure first
The immediate job is to get the door or window closing and locking again. That may mean a temporary repair, a replacement cylinder, or a new lock depending on what was damaged.
Martin carries the common parts on the van, so most securing work is completed on the first visit rather than leaving you waiting for a second appointment with an insecure property.
Replacing what was forced
The point of entry is usually the cylinder. Forcing a UPVC or composite door almost always destroys the cylinder, and sometimes the handle and the gearbox with it.
Replacing those parts restores the door. Martin will check the full mechanism rather than just the visible damage, because forcing a door can bend internal components that are not immediately obvious.
Upgrading the weak point
Simply replacing a forced cylinder with an identical one leaves the same weakness in place. The right response is to fit a TS007 3-star anti-snap cylinder, which defeats the snapping technique that accounts for most forced entries on modern doors.
Where the entry was through a window or a rear door, Martin will look at the whole property and tell you where the genuine remaining weak points are.
