The main entrance is the first line of defence for any commercial property. When a retail business in central London experienced a break-in through their front door, they called Keys4U to completely overhaul their entrance security.
The Problem
The existing entrance featured a standard Yale cylinder lock that was easily bypassed by experienced burglars. The door frame was also weakened from years of wear, making forced entry worryingly simple. Insurance assessors flagged the property as high-risk.
Keys4U's Comprehensive Solution
Our team conducted a full security survey before recommending a multi-point locking system upgrade:
- Installation of a British Standard 5-lever mortice deadlock
- Upgraded multi-point locking mechanism with anti-snap cylinders
- Reinforced door frame with steel security plates
- Installation of a digital door viewer for visitor verification
- Additional nightlatch for out-of-hours security
Outcome
The property now meets and exceeds insurance requirements for commercial security. The business owner reported feeling significantly safer, and their insurance premium was reduced following the upgrade. The entire installation was completed in a single day to minimise business disruption.
