🔐 Home Security Advice for Ealing, Hanwell & West Acton Residents

As a local locksmith covering Ealing, Hanwell, and West Acton, I often get calls from residents dealing with lock problems or wanting to upgrade their home security. Whether you live in a Victorian house or a modern flat, here are some essential locksmith tips for keeping your home protected.

---

1. Don’t Ignore a Stiff UPVC Door

If your handle is hard to lift or the key doesn’t turn smoothly, your door might be misaligned.

This is common in Hanwell and South Ealing homes — and often leads to:

Jammed doors

Gearbox failures

Broken handles

🛠 I can repair or replace multipoint mechanisms before they fully fail, saving you from an emergency lockout.

---

2. Replace Standard Euro Cylinders with Anti-Snap Models

Many homes in Northfields and Acton Central still use basic euro cylinders with no anti-snap protection. These are easy targets for burglars.

We recommend upgrading to:

⭐ 3-star anti-snap cylinders

🔒 Thumbturn locks (ideal for landlords and HMOs)

🗝 Keyed-alike cylinders for convenience

I stock all common sizes and can fit them on the spot.

3. Secure Rear Entrances & Side Gates

Burglars often avoid front doors and look for back entrances. If your side gate or rear door is easy to access — you’re at risk.

✅ I can help secure these areas with:

Patio door locks

Sash jammers

Upgraded nightlatches

4. Make Life Easier with Keyed-Alike Systems

If you’re tired of carrying multiple keys, ask about a keyed-alike system — one key for all doors.

Perfect for homes around Drayton Green, West Acton, and East Ealing.
