Most break ins are opportunist and target the easiest door or window. The good news is that a few sensible upgrades by a local locksmith make your Oxford home a far harder target, often for less than people expect.

Here is how we secure homes across Oxford, step by step. For DIY measures you can take yourself, see our 5 essential home security tips.

Strong Front and Back Door Locks

Your doors are the first line of defence. We fit British Standard and anti snap locks through our door lock change service, which also keeps most home insurers happy.

Fix Vulnerable uPVC Doors

uPVC doors are common across Oxford and can drop or jam, leaving the multipoint mechanism weak. We repair and upgrade them via our uPVC door lock service before they fail.

Anti Snap Cylinders

Lock snapping is one of the most common break in methods on euro cylinder doors. Upgrading to a high security anti snap cylinder is inexpensive and one of the single most effective improvements you can make.

Rekey After Moving In

When you move home you have no idea who holds a key. Rekeying or changing the locks on day one is a simple way to take full control of access.

A Whole Home Security Review

We can walk your property and point out weak spots, from side gates to window locks, then quote a fixed price to put them right. See our home locksmith service.
