š Home Security Advice for Ealing, Hanwell & West Acton Residents
- Jul 19
- 2 min read
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. Donāt Ignore a Stiff UPVC Door
If your handle is hard to lift or the key doesnāt turn smoothly, your door might be misaligned.
This is common in Hanwell and South Ealing homes ā and often leads to:
Jammed doors
Gearbox failures
Broken handles
š 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:
ā 3-star anti-snap cylinders
š Thumbturn locks (ideal for landlords and HMOs)
š 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 ā youāre at risk.
ā I can help secure these areas with:
Patio door locks
Sash jammers
Upgraded nightlatches

4. Make Life Easier with Keyed-Alike Systems
If youāre tired of carrying multiple keys, ask about a keyed-alike system ā one key for all doors.
Perfect for homes around Drayton Green, West Acton, and East Ealing.
