The First Hour

Make sure nobody is still inside, and report it to the police if you have not already.
Try not to handle the damaged lock or handle more than you need to.
Call us if any door or window cannot be locked; it is made secure first.
Take photos of the damage for your own records.

What Goes Back In

A forced cylinder is replaced with an anti-snap or 3-star one; damaged handles with high-security ones where suitable. Marking or splitting around the lock can be covered by a repair plate so the door stays. The mechanism and keeps are checked, because a forced door is often left out of line. Windows and garages are treated the same way.
