Locksmith using key for door. Top 3 Security Upgrades for London Homes After a Break-In. Amz Locksmith

A burglary can be a devastating experience, leaving your home vulnerable and your peace of mind shaken. As a trusted 24/7 emergency locksmith in Kensington, Hammersmith, and Chiswick, we often help homeowners secure their properties after a break-in. Here are 3 essential security upgrades you should consider immediately.



---


1. Upgrade to High-Security Locks


Most burglars target weak or outdated locks. Consider upgrading to British Standard BS3621 mortice locks or 3-star anti-snap euro cylinders for maximum protection. We stock and install premium locks for doors and windows across Kensington and Hammersmith.



---


2. Install a High-Security Nightlatch


A BS-rated nightlatch (like Yale or ERA) provides a strong secondary locking point and is recommended for front doors. Our locksmiths can supply and fit high-security nightlatches in Chiswick and nearby areas on the same day.



---


3. Add a Door Reinforcement Plate


A weak door frame can make forced entry easy. Reinforcing the strike plate and frame with a London bar or Birmingham bar greatly improves security. We offer professional fitting for residents of Kensington and West London.



---


Extra Tips:


Consider CCTV or video doorbells to deter future break-ins.


Always replace locks if keys were stolen.
