Assess the Damage
After a break-in, the first thing to do is assess the damage to your property. Intruders often target vulnerable entry points such as doors, windows, and locks. Look for signs of forced entry, such as broken locks, damaged doors, or shattered windows. It’s crucial to act swiftly to repair these areas to prevent further incidents.

Replace or Upgrade Your Locks
Intruders frequently damage locks during a break-in, leaving them unusable or compromised. Replacing these locks should be your top priority. At White Rose Locksmiths, we offer a professional lock replacements service to ensure your property is secure. We also recommend upgrading to more robust options like anti-snap locks for added protection. These high-security locks are designed to resist common burglary techniques, such as lock snapping, and are an excellent investment for your peace of mind.
Install Additional Locks for Vulnerable Entry Points
Burglars often exploit overlooked entry points like patio doors and windows. Strengthen your home security by installing additional locks on these areas. Our lock installation service can provide expert guidance on the best locks for your specific needs. For instance, upgrading your patio doors with our patio door repair service or securing your windows with window lock repairs can make a significant difference.
Repair Damaged Doors and Mechanisms
A forced entry often leaves doors and their mechanisms damaged. This compromises your security and functionality. We specialise in repairing and securing all types of doors, including UPVC ones. Our UPVC door mechanisms service ensures your doors are not only functional but also fortified against future break-ins. Whether it’s a front door or a back entrance, repairing these mechanisms is essential to restoring your home’s security.
Reinforce Your Home’s Security
Replacing locks and repairing damage is only the first step. Consider reinforcing your home’s overall security. This could include installing additional locks, upgrading to smart locks, or fitting security bars on windows. Our team at White Rose Locksmiths can recommend bespoke solutions tailored to your property. Contact us at 0113 8715 777 or email info@whiteroselocksmiths.co.uk to discuss your specific needs.
Conduct a Security Audit
Once immediate repairs are complete, take a proactive approach to prevent future incidents. A professional security audit evaluates the vulnerabilities in your property and offers recommendations to enhance its safety. From identifying weak points to suggesting the latest security technologies, our experienced locksmiths can help you feel safe again. Our audit process often leads to the implementation of effective solutions such as anti-snap locks or high-security lock systems.
Replace or Repair Window Locks
Windows are often targeted by burglars as secondary entry points. Even if they weren’t used during the break-in, ensure your window locks are secure and functional. Damaged or outdated locks are a liability. With our expert window lock repairs, we can replace or repair your existing locks to meet modern security standards.
Install a Home Security System
While locks and repairs are vital, adding a home security system provides an additional layer of protection. Burglar alarms, motion sensors, and security cameras act as deterrents and help catch intruders in the act. Combined with our high-quality lock solutions, a security system significantly reduces the likelihood of another break-in. Our team can recommend the best systems to integrate with your home’s locks for comprehensive protection.
