Who We Are

Insurance-approved locks for peace of mind

One of the biggest worries after a break-in is whether your insurance will actually pay out. Most policies have very specific requirements, usually stating that your doors must have locks that meet British Standard BS3621. If your locks weren't up to scratch, the insurance company might try to wiggle out of a claim. As NCFE Level 4 qualified locksmiths—the highest qualification in the trade—we carry a full range of insurance-approved locks on our van. We will check your existing setup and, if needed, install high-security replacements that keep both the burglars out and your insurance company happy.

Stop intruders with high-security anti-snap locks

A huge number of break-ins in County Durham happen because of a method called 'lock snapping'. It is a flaw in standard euro cylinder locks that allows an intruder to get past your door in seconds. It is scary how common it has become. We specialise in fitting anti-snap cylinders that are specifically designed to stop this method of entry. These locks have a sacrificial section that snaps off if someone tries to force it, leaving the actual locking mechanism untouched and secure. It is a simple, cost-effective upgrade that makes a world of difference to your home security.

Fixing door frames and emergency boarding up

Burglars aren't usually very careful when they are trying to get in. They often jemmy the door frame or damage the complex multi-point locking system on uPVC doors. Most people assume they need a brand-new door, but that is rarely the case. We can usually repair the gearboxes, realign dropped doors, and fix splintered wood frames right there on the spot. If a window has been smashed, we provide a sturdy boarding-up service to keep the weather out and prevent any further access until the glass can be replaced. We focus on fixing the problem properly, saving you the massive cost of a full door replacement.

Do you offer emergency boarding up services in Annfield Plain?

Yes, we do. If a door or window has been smashed during a break-in, the first priority is making the property weather-tight and secure. We carry the tools and materials needed to board up damaged entry points right away. Once the property is secure, we can then look at long-term door security or glass replacement to return your home to its original state.

Should I replace my locks after a burglary?

It is almost always a good idea to change your locks if there has been a break-in. Burglars often look for spare keys or might have damaged the internal parts of your current locks while trying to force entry. We provide full lock replacement services using high-security cylinders. We will check your other doors and windows too, making sure everything meets the standards your insurance company expects.

How can I make my Annfield Plain home more secure for the future?

Beyond fixing the immediate damage, we offer security upgrades to help prevent future incidents. This includes fitting anti-snap locks, sash jammers, and reinforcing uPVC door mechanisms. As a local business, Fortify Locksmiths focuses on practical solutions that work. We can walk around your property with you and point out any weak spots that might need a bit of extra attention to keep your family safe.
