Firstly, and most importantly, you need to remain calm and assess the situation, ring the police who will visit your property to take a statement and they will arrange for the forensics team to try and take prints. Whilst waiting for the police to arrive call us 07368245490 and we will quote and book you in for a sameday lock change to replace damaged door locks/handles and if you wanted upgrade all your other locks for peace of mind.

Depending on the circumstances locked out, burglary, faulty door lock we ask for you to please make sure you have provided valid contact numbers either yours or neighbours for our locksmith to contact you on in case of delays or problems finding property. Please don’t try to fix or repair broken locks as you may cause additional damage if you are unsure of what to do, social media sites are not always the best option, leave for our professional locksmith as we may be to repair thus saving you money as further damage could prove to be costly.
All depends on what type of locks you have, every lock is different i.e. wooden doors have mortice and rim cylinders whereas uPVC doors have euro cylinders at different grades, the more complex the lock potentially the longer it would take. We have the tools to open a large number of locks just depending on what you have installed.
Our locksmith is DBS checked (formerly CRB) and we have regularly completed work on commercial buildings not just domestic properties.
Our locksmith is trained to gain entry to locks using specialised techniques, tools, knowledge and experience. Non destructive techniques are used in order to prevent damage to your existing locks where possible.
If only it was that simple but every lock is made differently, designed in a way for not one key to open them unless you have a master suited lock system installed but that is unlikely on household locks.
This is a method of gaining entry to properties, an action that needs to be taken. There have been unnerving reports that thieves purchase this tool online and use it on rim cylinders as they are quick, quiet and easy to use. To prevent this we at Prestige Locks advise you have either a Sash Mortice or Deadbolt mortice locks installed to prevent burglaries. Give us a call today for further information and arrange a visit 07368245490
This is another way that thieves gain entry to properties. If you have basic Euro Cylinders fitted, usually onto your uPVC doors, these can easily be snapped with a correct tool thus making entry to your property easier for opportunists. To prevent this there is an Anti Snap Euro Cylinder that we stock to deter and potentially stop break ins.
