What Actually Stops Break-Ins

With 15 years on the job, I know what actually deters a burglar. Most people think CCTV and alarm stickers are enough, but a balaclava and a pair of gloves render cameras useless, and burglars know a sticker from a working system. What makes them choose another house is hardware they simply cannot get through quietly.

Professional locksmith providing a security consultation
01

Anti-Snap Locks

Anti-snap cylinders are visible on your door from the street. A burglar sees one and moves on. They know they cannot get through it quietly.

02

UPVC Security Handles

Standard UPVC handles can be snapped in seconds with basic tools. An upgraded security handle can't be forced without making a serious amount of noise.

03

PATLOCKS

A PATLOCK braces across the door from the inside. Even if someone defeats the lock cylinder, the door isn't moving. And it's impossible to fit one quietly.

James arrived within 20 minutes and knew exactly what to do. He was efficient and quickly gained entry to my mom's house (she's 85) with no damage to door. Such a nice guy and really helped and advised us. Thank you James.

We were burgled at approx 1am and needed an urgent locksmith after rear french doors broken into. Not only did James come out of hours he reassured us with his products and also gave us alternatives to match any budget. Anti-snap locks added instantly throughout the house, window alarms, and PATLOCK added to the new door handles for extra security. Quality service, comes with reassurance and great at what he does. Highly recommend!!

Our back door mechanism broke in the locked position and we were unable to unlock the door. James replied immediately to my call and came round within 24 hours. The locking gears were completely broken and the system was over 25 years old and obsolete. James was able to open the door and, as it would have been difficult to source a new 5 lock system to fit the door, he rebuilt the locking mechanism. The alternative would have been a new back door. This is the third time I have used James, he is always determined to fix the problem with minimum cost and fuss. I highly recommend him.

James Conboy came out within half an hour to assess the issue. He took all the door mechanism off the frame and assessed the damage. He had parts in his van to fix the issue. He was very efficient and made sure the job was completed satisfactorily. He had us try the lock with the key a great number of times until we were happy that the door lock was working well for us. Absolute superb job, definitely recommend James. Very professional, neat, tidy and efficient. He took all damaged parts away with him. Thank you so much.

James is brilliant. I needed to have my front door locks replaced after losing a set of keys, and he replied immediately saying he could be here the next day (a Sunday!) for a really good price. He worked quicker than a gazelle and the quality is excellent. He even noticed that my original locks were different colours and made them both the same with no extra charge. He's the nicest guy who obviously loves his job and treats people with friendliness and respect. Recommend him 100%. Call James today; you won't find anyone better.

Coventry · CV5Replacing locks on door — brilliant job, low price, lovely man!

James was fantastic, he came around the same afternoon I called him after having a break-in the night before. He was really helpful and very knowledgeable. He genuinely just wants to help using his experience and expertise, he offered advice on other aspects of security as well as upgrading locks and handles. I can't recommend James and Instant Access Locksmiths enough.

8pm on a Monday night and I couldn't lock my front door. Called James as his was the first number that came up on Checkatrade. There was a reason it did: he was there within the promised hour, door adjusted and locking again, gave it the once over. One very happy customer, reasonable cost for that time of night too. Would highly recommend.

I would go for this locksmiths every time. I even called him out for a neighbour. The owner is reliable and responsible. He is very able and personable. His work is spot on and he aims to get to you as soon as possible. I find his charges reasonable.

Acocks Green · B27Fitting lock / a lock out
CheckaTrade Verified Reviews

The lock on my patio door jammed which meant I could not close it and my property was insecure. I called James at 11am on Saturday morning and was amazed and delighted when he said he would be with me by 2pm. He was true to his word and arrived 1.50pm. He did a great job of fixing my door lock. During his visit he chatted to me and made a fuss of my little dog who was demanding attention. Given that it was a weekend the cost was very reasonable. I can highly recommend this company and will use them again if I have more lock troubles.
