Security Advice
Lock Security Tips for Thornton Heath Homes
Upgrade to an Anti-Snap Cylinder
Most Victorian and Edwardian terraces in CR7 have standard euro cylinders — the type that can be snapped in seconds with a pair of pliers. An anti-snap cylinder prevents this, and the upgrade costs just £15–25 more on the same visit.
Service Your Multipoint Lock Annually
uPVC and composite doors use multipoint locking systems with multiple hooks and bolts. Over time, the door sags or the alignment shifts. A quick service prevents the dreaded “door that won’t close” callout.
Always Verify Before You Let Anyone In
Rogue locksmiths often quote low and charge high on arrival. Always ask for a callout cost and total price upfront. A genuine locksmith will never refuse to quote before attending.

“uPVC door stopped closing properly after a cold snap. Called on a Sunday morning, he came out same day, adjusted the hinges and lubricated the multipoint lock. All sorted in under an hour. Very fair price too.”
Marcus W. — Thornton Heath
