Upgrade Your Security
Fitment of anti-snap/anti-drill cylinders, security handles, sash jammers, and BS3621 night latches and deadlocks to meet insurer requirements.
• Anti-snap / anti-drill cylinders: TS007 3-Star cylinders or 1-Star cylinders paired with 2-Star security handles to defeat snapping, drilling, bumping and picking. Optional restricted key profiles for key-control (duplicates only with your card).
• Security (high-strength) handles: Reinforced backplates and shielded escutcheons that protect the cylinder from attack on uPVC, composite and aluminium doors.
• Sash jammers & frame reinforcement: Extra through-frame protection to resist jemmying and forced entry on uPVC/composite doors—ideal for rear, patio and French sets.
• BS 3621 night latches & deadlocks: British Standard-rated locks for timber doors to meet common insurer requirements. We also supply BS 8621 (keyless egress) for main exit doors and BS 10621 where appropriate.
• Patio, French & bifold security: Additional shoot bolts, patio locks and anti-lift devices to secure sliding and folding systems.
• Window security options: Lockable handles, restrictors and key-locking stays for a whole-property solution.
Why upgrade?
• Meets typical home insurance conditions (BS3621 for timber; TS007/PAS24 components for uPVC & composite).
• Visible deterrence + real resistance to common break-in techniques.
• Smoother operation with correctly sized and aligned components.
• Future-proofing: spare keys controlled, hardware finishes to match (chrome, brass, black, white).
What you get:
• On-site survey and clear recommendations for your specific doors and frames.
• Supply & fit of certified hardware with tidy installation.
• Written warranty on parts and labour.
From single front doors to whole-property upgrades, we’ll specify the right standards and install them neatly – so your locks satisfy the small print and your home stays secure.

- Ria GSeptember 30, 2026The chap was very professional with the installation and very patient with the team in explaining everything. Will only be using Optimus in the future
Nicole BurtonSeptember 25, 2026Gavin was amazing! Arrived quickly and was so lovely, fixed our door so now works perfectly again. Would highly recommend!
Iuliana CodruSeptember 17, 2026Excellent service from start to finish! He spent almost two hours patiently working on our door until he finally managed to get it open and replace the locking mechanism. He was very professional, friendly and didn’t give up until the job was done. Really impressed with the service and would definitely recommend him. Thank you!
- Danielle HegartySeptember 17, 2026Fantastic service from start to finish. He came out at very short notice and was incredibly knowledgeable, professional and helpful. I originally thought I would need to replace the whole mechanism, but he quickly identified a much simpler solution and saved me money, time and a lot of stress. The price was very reasonable too, and I really appreciated his honest advice rather than trying to sell me something I didn’t need. I would definitely recommend him to anyone needing a reliable locksmith. Excellent service!
AmySeptember 17, 2026Amazing service! Fast response, very friendly and helpful and really helped me out of a bind. Highly recommend!
Ann LSeptember 16, 2026I wish I could give Gavin more than 5 stars. My 86 year old mother wanted the lock on her front door checked as she was struggling with it. Gavin immediately diagnosed the problem and showed her how to deal with the issue rather than replacing the rather expensive lock, which would have cost £300. He then refused to take any payment! He also gave us some security advice which we appreciated very much. Without a doubt, if you are looking for a locksmith, I highly recommend Gavin
