What is a Home Security Survey?
A home security survey is a professional assessment of your property’s security vulnerabilities. Our accredited locksmiths will conduct a thorough inspection of your doors, windows, locks, entry points, and overall security measurers to determine how well your home is protected against burglars and intruders. We will identify any weak points and suggest upgrades or improvements to enhance your security and above all your peace of mind.

Prevent break-ins
By taking proactive steps in strengthening your home security this will significantly reduce the risk of burglary.
Gain added peace of mind
Feel safer knowing that your home is well-protected with the latest security measures is something you can’t put a price on.

Lock Out Security Worries with Your Trusted Local Locksmiths




What Does Our FREE Home Security Survey Include?
At Lock & Key Barnsley, our comprehensive home security survey covers all aspects of your current security, including:
Lock assessment
We inspect the locks on all your doors, windows, garages, and outbuildings to check if they meet British Standard BS3621 requirements. If necessary, we will recommend upgrading to anti-snap, anti-pick, and anti-drill locks to enhance protection.
Door and window security
Our fully trained locksmiths will check the strength and condition of your doors and windows, ensuring they have secure locks, reinforced frames, and additional security features such as window restrictors and door chains.
Entry point vulnerabilities
Burglars will always seek to target any weak entry points. Our experienced locksmiths will identify potential security risks, such as unsecured back doors, poorly lit areas, or outdated security systems, and suggest practical improvements.
Alarm and CCTV checks
If you already have an alarm system or CCTV installed, we will check that they are fully functional and strategically positioned. If you don’t have one, we will provide recommendations on the best security systems for your home.
Outdoor security
We will assess your property’s outdoor security, including garden gates, fences, sheds, and lighting. Our security experts will advise on motion sensor lights, security cameras, and reinforced locks for sheds and garages.
Emergency preparedness
Equally as important as all of the above is a review of your home’s emergency exit routes and provide advice on fire escape plans and security solutions that ensure both safety and security.
