SATISFIED CLIENTS
EMERGENCY PROPERTY PROTECTION
Experiencing a break-in or attempted forced entry is deeply unsettling and leaves your property dangerously exposed. Burglars often use aggressive tactics that destroy locking mechanisms, deform door frames, and compromise your overall security. Beyond providing immediate access, Romans performs comprehensive emergency post-burglary repairs across West Sussex and Surrey. We restore physical entry points, upgrade vulnerable hardware, and reinstate complete peace of mind.
"Lock snapping" remains one of the most prevalent forced entry methods used against standard uPVC and composite doors. Intruders apply force to snap vulnerable cylinders at their weakest point to access the internal mechanism. Romans extracts the compromised lock and installs high-security 3-Star Anti-Snap replacement cylinders featuring hardened anti-drill and anti-pick steel pins.
When intruders attempt to crowbar or kick open a multi-point door, the intense pressure strips the internal gears inside the central gearbox module. Rather than replacing the entire costly door leaf, RJ Locksmith Services replaces the broken gearbox mechanism on-site, aligning the locking strip so hooks and rollers engage seamlessly again.
Forced entry on solid timber doors frequently splits the wooden door jamb or rips out the strike plate surrounding a Mortice deadlock. Romans expertly repairs splintered woodwork, reinforces damaged frames with heavy-duty steel frame keepers, and installs fresh British Standard BS3621 5-lever Mortice locks to ensure full structural strength.
Heavy force applied to door handles during a break-in often snaps internal spring cassettes and bends full-length metal multi-point faceplates. Romans removes distorted hardware, realigns misaligned hinges, and fits robust, high-durability replacement handles designed to withstand heavy physical strain.
Burglars frequently target ground-floor or rear uPVC windows by forcing open handles or snapping friction hinges. We repair jammed window locks, replace broken espag gearboxes, and fit fresh key-locking handles, making certain every window seal closes tightly and securely.
If intruders gained entry or managed to steal spare keys during a burglary, your entire premises remains vulnerable to a secondary break-in. Romans carries out immediate lock replacements across all external entry points, supplying brand-new key sets so unauthorised keys no longer work.
POST-BREAK-IN REINFORCEMENT
A forced entry attempt often leaves structural damage and compromised locking mechanisms in its wake. Different door materials and locking assemblies react differently to physical strain. Romans carries a fully stocked mobile inventory of specialist replacement components, heavy-duty strike plates, and insurance-approved hardware across West Sussex and Surrey. Every burglary repair is tailored specifically to your door type to restore maximum structural strength and complete operational reliability.
Intruders routinely target uPVC and composite entry points using crowbars or cylinder snapping tools, which distorts metal faceplates and crushes internal gearbox cogs. Romans extracts snapped cylinders, replaces shattered central gearboxes, realigns dropped hinges, and installs 3-Star Anti-Snap Euro cylinders to prevent future lock snapping attempts.
Forced entry on solid wooden doors frequently splits timber jambs and tears Mortice locks out of the frame. Romans repairs splintered woodwork, reinforces weak frame points with heavy-duty steel strike plates, and installs fresh 5-lever British Standard BS3621 Mortice deadlocks to ensure your front or back door exceeds insurance requirements.
Standard surface-mounted Rim Night Latches can fail under sudden physical force if not paired with secondary security. Following a break-in attempt, Romans repairs damaged rim cylinders, reinforces strike plates, and upgrades basic latches to insurance-approved, deadlocking versions that prevent latch slipping and kick-in attempts.
Commercial aluminum doors and high-traffic premises require rapid restoration after a break-in to protect stock and resume trading. Romans replaces damaged narrow-stile Mortice locks, repairs oval profile cylinders, and installs heavy-duty thumbturn systems designed to maintain strict fire exit safety compliance alongside robust security.
PROPERTY RESTORATION
Whether you are securing a family home after an attempted break-in or restoring access and safety to commercial premises, Romans provides an immediate, reliable response across West Sussex and Surrey. From fixing forced domestic uPVC entrance doors to reinforcing damaged commercial storefronts, every post-burglary repair is executed with high-grade replacement hardware and strict precision.
Experiencing a break-in at home compromises your family's safety and emotional peace of mind. Romans delivers expert domestic burglary repairs, replacing forced Euro cylinders, repairing shattered uPVC gearboxes, and fitting 3-Star Anti-Snap locks on-site. By reinforcing weakened door frames and installing British Standard hardware, your residential property is rendered fully secure and insurance compliant before we leave.
A commercial break-in disrupts business trading, exposes inventory, and leaves retail or office spaces compromised. Romans assists local businesses with urgent post-burglary repairs, replacing forced narrow-stile aluminium locks, broken oval cylinders, and damaged panic hardware. Quick turnarounds and heavy-duty replacement locks ensure your business regains security instantly with minimal operational downtime.
Managing tenant safety and portfolio security after a burglary requires a swift, hassle-free response. Romans partners with landlords, estate agents, and property managers to resolve forced entry damage between or during tenancies. With a mobile workshop stocked with insurance-approved BS3621 mortice deadlocks and multi-point parts, damaged locks and frames are restored in a single, cost-effective visit.
INSURANCE COMPLIANCE
Following a break-in, ensuring your property is immediately re-secured to strict UK insurance standards is vital. Many homeowners and business owners are unaware that after forced entry damage, fitting basic, non-compliant locks can leave their property vulnerable and render their home or commercial insurance policy invalid. Romans provides rapid post-burglary upgrades across West Sussex and Surrey to ensure your hardware meets essential security benchmarks, protecting your premises and safeguarding your financial claims.
Most leading UK insurance providers mandate that external timber doors be secured with 5-lever Mortice deadlocks certified to British Standard BS3621. Following forced entry, Romans replaces compromised locks with heavy-duty, Kitemarked hardware engineered with hardened steel anti-drill plates and anti-pick curtains, making your entry points significantly harder targets for opportunistic burglars.
To confirm your replacement hardware meets official standards, look for the engraved BSI Kitemark symbol on the lock faceplate. If your post-burglary lock replacement requires upgrading, Romans supplies and installs fully certified hardware on-site, ensuring your property remains protected and your insurance policy stays completely valid.
