Back doors, laundry doors, sliding doors, window locks, security screens and garage side doors. Break-ins across the north come through the rear and the side far more often than the front, because that is where the fence and the neighbour's sight lines stop.
Keypad and app-controlled locks are genuinely good, right up until the battery dies or the phone is inside the house. We fit them with a mechanical override and make sure you know how it works before we leave.

Yes, and we fit them with a mechanical backup. We will also tell you plainly when a smart lock is the wrong fit for a particular door rather than selling you one anyway.
Absolutely. Bring them out and we will fit them properly. If the hardware is not right for the door we will say so before we start, not after.
