After a break-in: preserve evidence, then secure the door
Do not enter if someone could still be inside. Move somewhere safe, avoid disturbing evidence and call the police on 101 for an intervention or on-site assessment. Follow their instructions before having the door altered.
Assess the whole doorway
A new lock is not enough if the frame or strike plate no longer holds the door. The assessment covers the door leaf, frame, fixings, strike plate, cylinder and mechanism to determine how the entrance can be closed and secured.
Depending on damage and available parts, the solution may be a repair, suitable replacement or temporary closure. The proposed work, its limitations and any follow-up repairs are explained before you agree. Availability and estimated arrival are confirmed by phone.
Stolen keys and additional protection
Report missing keys and badges and which entrances they open. A compatible replacement cylinder gives one entrance different keys; it does not deactivate building access badges. Door reinforcement is assessed alongside the frame and fixings. No single component guarantees protection against another break-in.
Check your insurance terms
Reimbursement for damage and locksmith costs depends on your cover, exclusions, excess and any required prior approval. Ask your insurer to confirm the terms rather than assuming the work is covered. Keep the detailed invoice and police report reference, then ask which supporting documents are required.
