Locksmiths Birchwood Which Anti Snap Locks ?
Lock snapping is a method that burglars are using to break locks on doors, its easy, quick and a very quiet method.
So how can we protect ourselves from this type of attack ? There are anti snap locks but they are not all the same. Some locks described as high security and anti snap would not protect you from this type of attack as they are simply not up to the job.
Please note that only euro cylinder locks that are 3 star (diamond grade being the best) are specifically designed and tested to withstand a snapping attack a example of one is shown above.
If you would like a quote for 3 star diamond grade locks to be fitted on your door then speak to Pam or Derek on 07967 778940 at Lockkeys Locksmiths Birchwood we are here for our customers.
Upvc Door Locks Birchwood
At Locksmiths Birchwood we are dealing with UPVC door locks on a daily basis. This is because over 70 per cent of all doors in the UK are now of the Upvc type.
When your dealing with the same types of doors and locks your knowledge and experience increases so when you call Pam or Derek of Lockkeys Locksmith Services Birchwood on 07967 778940 you will be speaking to the family business owners who have been working on these type of locks and doors since 2009.
So whats so special about these locks ? Unfortunately with upvc doors there is not a universal lock that will fit all its not that easy. If your lock needs replacing you have to first of all work out which manufacturers lock it is then work out which model it is and then the measurements of the lock because there could be one model with different measurements.
Weve known some landlords who to save some money buy their own lock to discover its the wrong size or make and wont fit onto their door, this then means they need either a different lock or a locksmith to replace the lock which means its cost them more than it would have done in the first place and has wasted their time.
For a no obligation quote to solve your upvc door lock problems call Pam or Derek on 07967 778940 we are here for our customers in Birchwood and surrounding areas.
Looking For Birchwood Locksmiths ? Heres The Questions To Ask ?
Unfortunately because their is no currently no registration of locksmiths in the UK some customers have fallen foul of rogue locksmiths so when looking for Birchwood Locksmiths we advise customers to ask a number of questions.
First of all is the call answered by a call centre or by the locksmith ? why is this important to the customer. If the call is answered by a call centre then they will have advertising costs and will be paying the person who answered your call, therefore these costs will be passed onto the customer so we suggest asking the following questions.
- Can you provide me with a no obligation quote ? most locksmiths should be able to provide you with a quote based upon the information discussed over the phone. When you call Derek or Pam at Lockkeys Locksmiths Birchwood we will provide you with a no obligation quote based on what you tell us over the phone.
- Is there any call out charges, if a locksmith charges a call out fee then you could end up paying this whether he does any work or not. At Lockkeys Locksmiths Birchwood we do not charge a call out fee.
- Is there any vat to be added to the costs ? If there is vat to be added then this will increase your bill by 20%. At Lockkeys Locksmiths Birchwood we do not charge VAT.
- What is the name of the locksmith who will be attending ? Knowing the name of the locksmith attending is good to know because if they do a good job you could tell others about them.
- Alternatively if they are using a subcontractor they may not know the locksmiths name and if you later have a problem with a lock or work fitted then you may not have the details of the person to complain to or the company may hide behind the fact the locksmith is no longer working for them or not in business. At Lockkeys Locksmiths Birchwood we have been in business since 2009 are family owned and run.
- Do the company offer a guarantee on parts and labour ? Locksmiths should be using quality parts and provide a reliable service.

Dementia Friendly Locks In Birchwood
If you are caring for a person in their own home who has a dementia type illness then if they have a standard euro cylinder on their door then our Locksmith in Birchwood Derek says "theres always a risk of the person leaving a key on the inside of the lock".
When this happens it could cause a person to be locked out and unable to gain access. This problem can be alleviated by fitting whats called a euro cylinder thumb-turn lock. These locks on the inside are operated by a thumb-turn and not a key but still need a key on the outside to open the door thus preventing a key from being left on the inside of the door so you cannot be locked out.
