How secure is your home or business?
Ensuring the security of your property is essential, whether you’re protecting a family home, a rental property, or a commercial premises. As a trusted locksmith serving Exeter and East Devon, I provide clear, honest advice to help you understand how secure your current locks really are.
I offer a free basic security survey where I assess the locks on your doors and windows, check the overall condition of your security hardware, and identify any potential weaknesses. During this assessment, I will explain what level of protection your existing locks provide and whether they meet modern security expectations. As a reliable and trusted locksmith, I will never recommend upgrades unless they are genuinely necessary for your safety, compliance, or insurance requirements.
Many insurance companies now require — or strongly recommend — that external doors are fitted with British Standard locks for maximum security. As part of the survey, I can confirm whether your current locks meet these standards. If an upgrade is needed, I will guide you through the most suitable British Standard and high-security lock options for your property, ensuring you choose a solution that is affordable, durable, and secure.
I carry a wide range of high-quality locks and security hardware in my van, meaning that in most cases, any recommended upgrades can be completed during the same visit. This saves you time, keeps your property protected, and ensures you get a fast and efficient service from a trusted local locksmith.
If you would like peace of mind about the security of your home or business, get in touch today to arrange your free security survey.

In the vast majority of lockouts, I use non-destructive entry techniques to get you back inside quickly and safely, without causing any damage to your lock or door. As an experienced and trusted locksmith, my priority is always to regain access using the most efficient and least invasive method available.

Do your locks meet insurance standards?

As a trusted locksmith, I make sure every lock I install meets the security needs of your property, helping to keep you protected and ensuring your treasured posessions are protected.
British Standard locks undergo rigorous testing for resistance against drilling, picking, bumping, and forced entry. When your doors are fitted with BS 3621 or TS007 certified locks, you benefit from a higher level of security that insurers recognise as reliable and compliant.
If you’re unsure whether your current locks meet insurance standards, I can assess them for you and explain what improvements, if any, are needed. I carry a wide range of approved and high-security locks, which means upgrades can usually be completed on the same visit.
