Suffered a break-in? Call Lockstar immediately. We provide emergency boarding up, temporary and permanent security, and full door and lock repair after burglary — across Kennington and SE11.
Discovering that your home or business has been broken into is one of the most distressing experiences possible. After calling the police (999 if in progress, 101 for a completed burglary), your next call should be to Lockstar Locksmith Kennington. We provide emergency post-burglary repair across SE11 and will make your property secure on the same day.
In the immediate aftermath of a break-in, your priority is to secure the property as quickly as possible. If your front or back door has been forced, a window smashed, or a lock defeated, we provide emergency boarding up and temporary security measures to protect the property overnight while permanent repairs are arranged.
We then carry out permanent repairs — replacing damaged locks, repairing or replacing broken door frames and keeps, fitting anti-jemmy bolts, and upgrading security to help prevent a repeat attack. We will also provide a written report of all work carried out, which can assist with your insurance claim.
Burglars typically gain entry through weak euro cylinders (snapping them), poorly fitted locks, or vulnerable door frames. After making your property secure, we strongly recommend a security review to identify and address any remaining vulnerabilities — and we offer this as part of our post-burglary service.
Immediate boarding up of damaged doors and windows to secure the property before permanent repairs can be made.
Repair and strengthening of door frames, keeps, and hinges damaged during a forced-entry break-in.
After a burglary, we strongly recommend upgrading to anti-snap, anti-drill, anti-pick locks — we fit these on the same visit.
Steel door frame reinforcement strips, hinge bolts, and security keeps fitted to prevent future forced entry attempts.
We provide detailed written reports of all damage and work carried out, supporting your home or business insurance claim.
Comprehensive review of your property's security following a break-in — identifying all remaining vulnerabilities and recommending improvements.
