What to Do After a Burglary

• If the intruder may still be nearby or you feel unsafe, call 999. If not urgent, report the crime to the police via 101 or online and get a crime reference number.
• Don’t touch anything until police advise. Avoid cleaning up; preserve footprints, tool marks, and broken parts for evidence.
• Check what’s missing, especially keys, fobs, and garage remotes. If keys were taken, arrange a lock change straight away.
• Take clear photos of damage (locks, door, frame, window) and list stolen items for your insurer.
• If you can’t secure the property, call our emergency locksmith in Sutton. We respond to after-hours burglary callouts across the SM area.
• Once safe, contact your insurer. Ask what they require for claims (photos, invoices, BS‑rated locks). We can supply documentation on request.
• Let trusted neighbours know; ask if their cameras or doorbells captured anything useful.

Emergency Lock Replacement After a Break-In

We start with a calm, methodical assessment: how the door was forced, what’s damaged, and what’s needed to properly secure it. Then we carry out post break‑in lock replacement to get you safe on the spot.

What we typically do:

• Inspect and test the lock, gearbox, and multipoint mechanism.
• Replace cylinders or mortice locks with quality parts suited to your door (uPVC, composite, aluminium, or timber).
• Realign keeps and hinges so the door closes and locks smoothly.
• Reinforce weak points with new strike plates or security hardware where appropriate.
• Provide temporary securing if the door or frame needs further trades.

If you simply need a complete lock swap after forced entry, our lock change service covers all common brands. Most repairs are completed in a single visit so you can sleep securely the same night.

Insurance-Compliant Locks After Burglary

Your insurer may insist on British Standard locks after a break‑in; we supply and fit BS3621‑compliant locks to keep your policy valid.

On timber doors, we fit BS3621 mortice deadlocks or sashlocks as required for insurance. On uPVC and composite doors, we match high‑security cylinders and hardware to your multipoint so the whole set‑up meets insurer expectations. We’ll walk you through what’s needed, fit correctly, and note details for your claim. If you’re considering wider improvements, see our security upgrades for options that go beyond minimum compliance.

Security Assessment After a Break-In

A free security survey is included after we secure your property, helping you prevent repeats.

We’ll identify how the offender got in and the quickest wins to strengthen your home:

• Upgrades for door cylinders, handles, and letterbox protection
• Additional locks for side, back, and garage doors
• Window locks and sash jammers where appropriate
• Lighting, visible deterrents, and routine tips that actually work

When you’re ready, we can plan practical security upgrades that suit your property and budget. Areas we cover: Sutton and the SM postcode area, including Cheam, Carshalton, and Wallington.

Damaged Door Frame Repair

After forced entry, the lock isn’t always the only issue. We repair common frame damage: split keeps, blown‑out strike plates, loose hinges, and alignment problems that stop the door engaging properly.

Where the frame is severely cracked, bowed, or structurally compromised, a specialist joiner or door company is the right call. We’ll secure you immediately, explain what’s repairable on the spot, and advise if a full frame or door replacement is the sensible next step.
