Deadbolt Locks – These should be installed on every entry door to your property. If this is not the case at your property, then give us a call and one of our locksmiths in Leeds will come and install them for you.

Snap Safe/ Anti Snap Locks – In Leeds it is incredibly common for burglars to use the lock snapping technique to quickly and easily gain entry to someone’s home. If you have UPVC or composite doors and you don’t already have snap safe locks installed, then it is strongly recommended that you address this as soon as possible.

We always have snap safe locks in stock so can supply and fit the locks on the same day as you call.

Door Hinges – If the hinges to your external doors on your property are located on the outside then it would be worth having the door removed and the hinges relocated to the inside of the door, this will not only discourage and potential intruders but also make it a lot more difficult for them to get in!

Door and Door Frame – ensure your door and its frame to your property in Leeds are both strong and are showing no signs of damage or rot. A weekend door and/or door frame is a prime target for any potential burglar.

Moving Home Locksmiths Leeds

Moving into a new home is exciting and there are so many things to think about but we need to consider if the previous owners may have given a set of keys to anyone. Also how many people may know the code to your house alarm? If your new home was rented out previously, how many tenants may have had keys cut? Maybe neighbours may hold a set of keys and if they do, then they are likely to know the code to your house alarm as well. All these things need to be considered as we have no secure way of keeping track of previous keys.

Replace Old Locks When you move into a new home within the Leeds area, we would advise that you completely change your door locks so you have peace of mind that no one else can gain access to your property and it is secure. It is recommended that you change your door locks whenever you move, even if you move into a new build as they are not always fitted with the best quality locks. Door locks need to be up to British Standard for your household insurance to cover you otherwise your insurance will be void.
