Your Trusted Local Locksmith in Durham

Hi there, I'm Kev Burn, your trusted local locksmith in Durham, dedicated to providing top-notch locksmith services to both our residential and commercial clients. In a city as vibrant and historic as Durham, ensuring the security of our landmarks is paramount. Let's see how the security measures in place at some of Durham's most iconic locations can inspire the security of your own home or business.

Durham University: This prestigious institution is a beacon of higher education, sprawling across our city with its numerous buildings. The security practices here are not just for show; they're a testament to the importance of safeguarding our community's future. By employing state-of-the-art locks, conducting regular security audits, and utilising advanced surveillance, the university ensures the safety of its students and faculty. These very measures can be mirrored in your property, offering you peace of mind knowing your home or business is secured with the same diligence.

Durham Market Hall: A bustling hub for both locals and tourists, the market hall is a treasure trove of local craftsmanship and culinary delights. Such a lively environment necessitates robust security measures, including surveillance cameras to oversee the area and high-quality locks on all doors, especially after hours. This level of security ensures the market remains a safe place for traders and shoppers alike, a principle that can be applied to protect your property as well.

Durham Castle

Durham Castle: The historic Durham Castle, dating back to 1072, is not only an architectural marvel but also a modern-day residence for students. Its significance and functionality require uncompromised security, from CCTV monitoring in public areas to stringent access control. While your home may not be a castle, the essence of protecting what is valuable remains the same. Implementing high-quality locks and conducting a thorough security survey can fortify your property against potential threats.

Durham Cathedral: Known worldwide for its architectural beauty and as a filming location for the Harry Potter movies: Philosopher’s Stone and Chamber of Secrets, Durham Cathedral embodies the essence of heritage and security coexisting seamlessly. Regular security checks are a testament to the enduring safety of this historical site. Reflect on the security measures necessary to safeguard your own premises, drawing inspiration from such diligence.

Tips For Choosing a Locksmith in Durham

There are many factors to consider when choosing a locksmith in Durham.  Our checklist below should help you when making a decision.

  • Check the locksmith is DBS (CRB) checked.  This will reveal whether they have a hidden criminal past.  You need someone you can trust working with your home security, so if they do not have a clean DBS (CRB) check walk away.
  • Check the price quoted is what you will pay.  Many locksmiths will quote one price on the phone only to bump the price up dramatically once the work has been undertaken.  Make sure you know what you will be paying before work commences and sign something agreeing to the charges.
  • Make sure you are happy with what the locksmith says regarding your home security and don't be pressurised into an expensive upsell.  Not all locks are equal, and some cheaper locks do not provide adequate security for home insurance purposes so make sure if you're having new locks installed they are right for you.
  • Always use a trusted locksmith with a decent reputation and accountability.  There are many rogue traders who just want to rip customers off.  Check their websites for testimonials and guarantees.  If anything looks or feels dodgy, walk away and find another locksmith.
  • Call their advertised number and see how long it takes them to answer.  If calls are left ringing with no answer or diverts to voicemail numerous times it could indicate they will be difficult to get hold of if there is a problem with their work.  Use a locksmith who answers their phone!

Hopefully this checklist will help you to choose the best Durham locksmith for your needs. All LockRite locksmiths are DBS (CRB) checked and will always confirm the price you will pay before commencing any work. Call 0191 731 6613 now for a free, no obligation quote.

Home Security in Autumn

As autumn approaches and the temperatures start to drop the nights start closing in.  Unfortunately darker evenings mean more opportunities for burglars so it's essential to look at your home security and make sure it's up to the job.  Anti snap locks, deadbolts and window locks will help to prevent most opportunist thieves and security lighting will deter intruders. If you are unsure how secure your home is, call your local LockRite Durham locksmith today on 0191 731 6613 to arrange a home security survey.

Home Security in the Summer Months

As summer approaches and the days get warmer it is natural to leave windows open and doors ajar to keep homes cooler.  Unfortunately this can be an open invitation to the "sneak-in" opportunist burglar who will take advantage of open doors and windows and make off with small, expensive items such as mobile phones and laptops, or even a set of house keys to return later when the house is empty or everyone is asleep. If a burglary takes place without any visible signs of forced entry it can invalidate insurance claims, so it is important to remain security conscious in the summer.  One way to help prevent "sneak-in" burglaries is to install door security chains and window restrictors.  This allows doors and windows to be left open slightly while offering enough security to deter an opportunist thief. Call your local Durham locksmith on 0191 731 6613 today to discuss your home security needs.

Lock Snapping on 'The One Show'

The dangers of lock snapping were recently discussed on the One Show (7th March 2012) and the advice is to ensure the locks on your uPVC doors are designed to withstand this kind of forced entry. Lock snapping is a technique used by burglars where uPVC locks are literally snapped in half allowing quick access to your property.  Unfortunately this type of forced entry is becoming more and more commonplace, and many homes with uPVC doors in the Durham area are susceptible to this kind of attack unless the locks have been upgraded with anti-snap cylinders. We can provide anti-snap, anti-bump and anti-pick locks for your doors.  Call us now on 0191 731 6613 for a free, no obligation quote.
