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:

We've got it covered

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.

We've got it covered

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Outdated locks (those that don’t meet British Standards), missing (or faulty) alarm systems, hidden blind spots (that facilitate effortless break-ins), and other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.

We've got it covered

Prevent break-ins

Our Lock & Key Selby team will inspect ingress points (doors, windows, etc.) for spots that criminals can easily exploit.

We've got it covered

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.

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.

Lost my front door key on hols so was dreading getting back and having to wait around for a locksmith.

Having found that the French doors would not lock on Sunday evening I phoned lock and key Barnsley. I gave a description of the problem and John gave me a quote for what he thought the problem would be but explained if it was something else he may have to adjust the quote. He said he could be with me in 30 minutes, it was actually more like 20 minutes. He checked the lock and confirmed it was the issue we had discussed. John completed the required work promptly and with minimum fuss. He left me with a receipt for the work, after demonstrating the new lock working. Very happy with this service and would recommend.

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.
