Burglary Repairs in South Shields

Burglary Repairs in South Shields

After a break-in or attempted break-in in South Shields, the property is made lockable first and the damaged parts are then replaced with stronger ones.

If the property is rented, this page also explains who usually needs to know.

Recent Work in the South Shields Area

Genuine jobs we have completed in the South Shields area, of any kind (not necessarily burglary repair work):

• Gearbox Replacement in Whiteleas: A hook on the gearbox was not retracting, making the door very hard to open; a new gearbox was fitted.
• Gearbox Replacement in South Shields (Gearbox Replacement & Door Realignment): The door was hard to lock because the gearbox had failed and the cylinder was also faulty; both were replaced and the door realigned.

Rented Homes After a Break-In

If you rent, tell your landlord or letting agent as soon as you can; they may want to arrange the repair or need to know about it. Either of you can call us. Once the lock is replaced, new keys go to whoever should have them, and nobody else’s old key will work.

The Repair

The forced cylinder is replaced, normally with an anti-snap or 3-star one; bent handles are replaced; damage around the lock is covered with a repair plate so the door can stay; and the mechanism is checked because a forced door is often left out of line. For a property that cannot be left secure, use our emergency locksmith service in South Shields.
