A lot of houses on my street have had break-ins recently. What should I be upgrading?

If you've got a standard Euro cylinder, the first thing to do is replace it with a British Standard anti-snap, anti-pick cylinder. Combined with a door chain or nightlatch on the inside, that deals with the most common forced-entry methods. We can assess your whole door when we're on site and give you an honest view of what's worth doing.

UB5~3 miles from town centre12-month guarantee on parts supplied and fitted

Northolt is a largely residential suburb sitting in the UB5 postcode, about three miles west of central Ealing, a straightforward 10-15 minute drive depending on traffic. The housing stock is a mix of 1930s and 1950s semis, post-war council builds and some 1980s infill estates. Most of the locksmith calls we get out here are domestic, with the occasional small commercial unit near the industrial stretches. Lockouts, cylinder upgrades and broken UPVC door mechanisms make up the bulk of the work.

We come out via the A40 Western Avenue and cut down through Mandeville Road or Church Road depending on where the job is. The older semis along Eastcote Lane and around the Northolt Village conservation area still have their original wooden doors in some cases, which means worn mortice locks and rattly frames. The council stock off Arnold Road and Kensington Road tends to have older UPVC that's been there since the 1990s and the multi-point locking mechanisms on those doors are well overdue for attention.
