Are High-Security Locks Worthwhile?

The cost of having high-security locks installed by the Lock & Key Selby team pales in comparison to the cost of recovering after a break-in. Knowing that your locks are durable enough to prevent a break-in means that you can avoid the financial and emotional turmoil that comes from having to replace lost assets due to a break-in taking place. Not only that, but the lock we install makes sure that you meet insurance policy regulations.

Locks installed by the Lock & Key Selby team meet all British Standards requirements. That means that you know your locks are now resistant to all typical break-in methods, from lock snapping to drilling through your locks. With the locks fitted by us, you now know that you have locks in place that will vastly reduce the risk of a break-in being successful – that is a priceless feeling.

What Makes a Door Lock High-Security?

High-security locks play a huge role in making sure that you feel more comfortable about your home or business security. They not only provide you with all-around protection from usually applied break-in methods, but they also provide longevity thanks to the high-quality nature of the parts used in the high-security locks we fit for you. Not only that, but your locks are now compliant with UK insurance policy provider requirements.

We've got it covered

Anti-Snap Protection

The locks we install for you provide anti-snap protection. Given its prevalence as a break-in method, this takes away one of the most commonly used techniques in the UK.

We've got it covered

Drill and Pick Resistance

Locks that can be picked are an easy game for break-in artists looking to enter your home. With high-security locks fitted by us, you have resistance to such basic methods.

We've got it covered

Key Duplication Security

Thanks to the patented nature of the lock pathways in high-security locks, it is nearly impossible for someone to clone your keys without your permission.

We've got it covered

Bump-Proof Technology

Like lock snapping, lock bumping is exceedingly easy to carry out, making it a dangerous method for forced entry into your home. High-security locks remain resistant to lock bumping.

We've got it covered

Lasting Confidence

High-security locks provide you with protection from today’s methods, but also provide resistance against new-fangled innovations, creating long-term security.

Call our 24/7 helpline:

Quick, expert service you can trust!

All our locksmiths are City & Guilds Accredited, NCFE Certified and DBS checked

Whatever the time, day or night, if you have a problem with your locks, we can help. We operate a 24/7 service across the Selby and surrounding area, providing locksmithing solutions to both residential and commercial customers.

Protect Your Property’s Security with Anti-Snap Locks

Despite the fact that lock snapping is one of the most commonly used break-in skills in Selby, it is also among the easiest to carry out. With high-security locks, you have protections that make using this skill on your doors impossible. The locks we install for you ensure that one of the most regularly used break-in skills does not work, reducing the risk of successful break-ins by some margin.

Does Your Home or Business in Selby Require High-Security Locks

Break-ins remain a common problem in the UK today, and especially so here in Selby. Part of the reason is the fact that many properties have not upgraded their lock systems. Thus, they leave it easy for a criminal to break in. By investing in high-security locks, you make it far less likely that someone targeting your property is going to be successful in their attempts.

Break-ins are a hugely damaging experience to go through, and they can really shake confidence. With high-security locks, you make sure that criminals need to use increasingly advanced – and likely visible – methods of entry to get into your property. They are far more likely to give up and instead move on to a different target. Also, insurance policy providers expect that homes and businesses in Selby have high-security locks fitted; without them, your policy may be invalidated.

How to Recognise Anti-Snap Locks?

The simplest way to determine if you have locks which meet British Standard regulations is to check your doors for the British Standards Kitemark symbol. This looks like a heart with a squiggle in it, for clarity. Doors that have this Kitemark should be compliant with British Standards. Are you unsure? Call us for a review!

Why Should I Hire Lock & Key Selby to High-Security Locks?

In our decades within the trade, we have sadly seen many DIY-fitted lock systems that lack the right touch and attention to detail. Missing even one step in the installation process can leave your locks far less likely to succeed in terms of their intended purpose.

With Lock & Key Selby staff fitting your locks, though, this is not a problem. All our staff are DBS-checked, City & Guilds-accredited, NCFE-approved professionals who have years of proven success in the trade. When we fit your high-security locks, they are fitted ‘by the book’ with no steps cut out or oversights, ensuring long-lasting protection. All of our works include:

We've got it covered

Expert Security Analysis

First off, we make sure that the process is carried out by professionals who double-check that the work has been done to satisfaction. That attention to detail guarantees:

We've got it covered

Professional Installation

We make sure that every step is followed and everything is done by the letter of the instructions for the high-security locks fitted for you; thus, installation is 100% accurate.

We've got it covered

The Most Reliable Locks

We also make sure that the locks fitted for you are the most up-to-date models. This means that your locks are not going to become compromised soon because they are outdated upon installation.

We've got it covered

If your locks break in the middle of the night, you might worry about waiting until morning for support. Our staff operate 24/7, so we can help with Selby lock installation at any time.

We've got it covered

My malibu key blade broke off and needed to be fixed. I had another blade from a housing swap but no one would cut it for me... until I called A-1.

They cut my key blade and the backup that I bought and even added it to my vehicle. All for a fraction the price of a single dealer key. I will be back

My daughter's push start vehicle would not start I called the Nissan place and they were wanting me to have it towed and then do a Diagnostics. So I called Jason at A1 Locksmith and explain to him what the vehicle was doing he was willing to come out or send his mechanic to find out what was wrong with the vehicle once we were able to finally get it cranked I took it to him and he fixed it was just the key fob I needed a new key fob. He also explained to me the different things that could have been and then explain to me why my original aftermarket key fob was not working so he saved me tons of money and he was so helpful and so kind and nice something that the Nissan place couldn't even give me explanations on what it could be just wanted me to spend money to send it to them I would have ended up spending over $1,000. A1 Locksmith save me over $900. Thank Jason @ A1 Locksmith Shelby, NC.

Frequently asked questions

At Lock & Key Selby, we offer customers based in Selby very affordable and high-quality locksmith services. The cost of hiring our locksmiths can be different based on the problem they’re hired to resolve and the solution they come up with! But we won’t hit you with any hidden fees. Instead, you will get free quotes over the phone with absolutely no obligations. This way, you’ll know what you’re paying for even before our professional arrives at your location.

The response time offered by our expert locksmiths is 30-60 minutes for clients in an emergency situation. Our locksmiths are Selby locals so they can arrive at your location in a jiffy.

You can rest assured that our locksmiths are highly experienced, fully qualified, insured, & certified to work in Selby. After all, we are the only City & Guilds accredited locksmith company operating in the Yorkshire area.

Yes! Selby Lock & Key products come with a comprehensive, 365-day guarantee from our first visit. We also believe in high-quality workmanship and use only top-notch locks and keys. However, if anything goes wrong, call us, and we’ll return to your property to address the issue – free of charge. Your satisfaction is our number 1 priority.

We realise that waiting for a locksmith to come to your location can be a tad bit boring. You may feel like attempting DIY fixtures before the locksmith’s arrival. But we strongly advise against that! You should patiently wait for the locksmith to arrive so they can take care of this issue by themselves.

Our locksmiths usualy need only a few minutes to help you regain access to your domicile if you’re using Yale rim-cylinder locks or Euro Cylinder locks. However, more complex locking mechanisms require more time, so you may have to wait a while longer.

Changing a common door lock takes anywhere from 30-60 minutes. But this timeline can be different based on your door type (garage, uPVC, conservatory, etc.), lock type (Yale or Euro or something else), and how many locks we’re required to repair/replace. Our locksmith can give you a more accurate time estimate once they arrive at your location.

Yes, we’ll be happy to give you a quote before taking on this job. We’ll hop on a phone call in which we’ll ask you relevant questions to better understand what’s bugging you. This way, our quote will be realistic and manageable.

We don’t charge a call-out fee. You only have to pay for the actual work upon completion and when you are 100% satisfied.

Payments can be easily made in cash or via all major debit and credit cards.
