Make Your Home Safer than Ever with a FREE Detailed Security Survey
Burglaries remain one of the UK’s most financially and emotionally draining crimes, including in selby, where many homes and other properties add to the statistics. Acting now before intruders strike is crucial (especially true if you’re unsure your home has sufficient or effective burglary deterrence).
Lock & Key selby offers expert, accredited home security assessments. We’ll help you identify and address any security loopholes. Our specially trained locksmiths can spot vulnerabilities that intruders, like burglars, could exploit. Let us assess your property. More importantly, we’ll provide tailored recommendations to help protect your home and restore your tranquil life.
What is a Home Security Survey?
No two home security reviews are identical. Building style, age, and the number of entry points can influence how your property deters break-ins. Lock & Key Selby always customises security surveys to client properties. It ensures comprehensiveness and detail richness. You could have snappable locks or might not have smart security features (like CCTV or wireless alarms). We’ll help you understand your vulnerabilities before working collaboratively to resolve them affordably and effectively.
Why Should You Get a Home Security Survey?
While every home survey is unique, we prioritise reviewing your property’s areas or sections most vulnerable to break-in attempts, such as:
Identify vulnerabilities
Our 30+ years of experience conducting home security surveys enables us to know precisely what criminals in the Selby area look for when targeting properties, including easy access points and tell-tale weaknesses.
Upgrade security systems
Outdated locks (those that don’t meet British Standards), missing (or faulty) alarm systems, hidden blind spots (that facilitate effortless break-ins), and other systemic security flaws can make burglaries more likely.
Prevent break-ins
Our Lock & Key Selby team will inspect ingress points (doors, windows, etc.) for spots that criminals can easily exploit.
Lasting peace of mind
We never forget to give you a detailed breakdown of any areas that could pose a risk to your home as part of our property reviews. You’ll sleep better knowing you have a clear plan for strengthening security.
Your Local Locksmith in Selby – Keeping You Safe Day and Night




What Does Our FREE Home Security Survey Include?
We tailor each security survey to the property. However, we always prioritise the most common areas of concern, such as the following.
Lock reviews
Most outdated locks are British Standard 3621 non-compliant, leaving your property vulnerable to break-ins. They can render your insurance invalid, too. Intruders can easily bypass these older locks. Outdated locks fail modern security checks as well.
Door and window security
We also thoroughly inspect your windows and doors for cracked frames and other vulnerabilities (like loose hinges, exploitable gaps, and worn locks). Burglars and other criminals often look for these weak spots first because they’re the key to your property.
Point of entry weakness
Burglars almost always use the same ingress points you do, including your front and back doors (accessible windows too). We ensure these areas are secure. Our locksmiths will also zero in on security loopholes and address them accordingly.
Alarm and CCTV reviews
We’ll assist you in upgrading your outdated alarm systems or surveillance cameras. We can install them if you don’t have these technologies yet. We’ll check your home’s layout and security budget before recommending alternatives or upgrades to enhance your home’s overall security setup.
Outdoor security
Your home’s perimeter might have entry points you can overlook, like gaps in the fence and poorly lit sections. Your surveillance cameras might leave some sections “unseen.” Worry no more about these weak spots. We’ll identify them to ensure a secure boundary.
Emergency preparedness
Properties require a reliable exit in case of emergencies like fires. We’ll assess how quickly (and safely) you can exit in an emergency. Our locksmiths will highlight any obstacles or improvements needed to ensure fast, secure escape.

Changing a common door lock takes anywhere from 30-60 minutes.

Our locksmith can give you a more accurate time estimate once they arrive at your location.
