After a break-in
Once the police have attended, the priority is to make the property secure again. We can repair or replace damaged locks and strike plates, rekey every lock so any stolen keys stop working, and recommend stronger hardware for the door that was forced.
Ask for a quote before work starts
Whoever you call in an emergency, ask for the total price before work begins and expect the technician to confirm it on arrival. That's how we work: the price is agreed with you first.
