Is your Kennington property as secure as it could be? Our security survey and upgrade service identifies vulnerabilities and implements cost-effective improvements — from anti-snap lock upgrades to door frame reinforcement.
Most burglaries in Kennington and SE11 are opportunistic — they target properties with visible security weaknesses. A relatively small investment in the right security upgrades can make your property a significantly harder target, deterring potential intruders before they even attempt entry.
Lockstar Locksmith Kennington offers a comprehensive security survey and upgrade service for homes and businesses across SE11. Our experienced locksmiths assess your property's security from a burglar's perspective, identifying the most critical vulnerabilities and recommending cost-effective improvements.
The most common and cost-effective security upgrade for London properties is replacing standard euro cylinders with anti-snap, anti-drill, anti-pick cylinders. Cylinder snapping — where a cheap euro cylinder is snapped off using a pair of pliers — is one of the most common burglary methods, and a high-quality anti-snap cylinder eliminates this vulnerability entirely.
We also supply and fit door frame reinforcement hardware, hinge bolts, door chains and limiters, window locks, security lighting recommendations, and letter box restrictors. We always prioritise improvements that give you the best security return for your budget.
The single most effective security upgrade for UPVC and composite doors. Eliminates the cylinder-snapping burglary technique entirely.
Steel door frame reinforcement plates, hinge bolts, and security keeps — significantly increasing resistance to forced entry.
Mul-T-Lock, Banham, Abloy, and ERA Fortress high-security locks providing maximum protection against all attack methods.
Window locks, window restrictors, and sash window stops to prevent ground-floor and accessible window entry.
Comprehensive free security assessment of your property — we identify and prioritise vulnerabilities with an honest, no-pressure report.
All upgrades are selected to meet home and business insurance requirements — we advise specifically on what your insurer requires.
