Restricted Profiles: Who Holds the Card, Who Holds the Keys

While ensuring security and control, our restricted-key profiles offer security for SW London residents and businesses. These profiles provide a robust solution with key-control managed via a registered card, ensuring no unauthorized copies are made at high-street kiosks.

This is especially beneficial for SW18 Wandsworth and Earlsfield's modern apartments, where regular access by cleaners and contractors is common.

For landlords and small office tenancies along Lavender Hill, our entry-tier profiles simplify management. Meanwhile, mid-tier profiles with dual-locking mechanisms serve businesses where key compromise poses a risk, such as Northcote Road's retail shops and Battersea Power Station commercial tenants.

Additionally, certain cylinder ranges come with restricted keys by default, perfect for frequently changing tenancies. Each installation includes a documented key matrix, and you can easily deactivate old keys and rekey cylinders without replacing hardware.

Our workmanship cover backs every installation.

Frequently Asked Questions

What makes a lock 'high security'?

A 3-star Kitemark cylinder resists snap, pick, bump and drill attacks. A mortice deadlock to the current British Standard adds a second line of defence. Together they meet most UK insurer requirements.

Are high security locks worth it for a standard home?

In areas with active cylinder-snapping or kicking attacks, the upgrade cost is typically less than one insurance excess. We can advise on the risk level for your specific road in Battersea or Clapham.

Do you charge a callout fee?

No callout fee. A fixed quote before we start.

How long does a high security cylinder fit take?

Typically 20-30 minutes per door. A full upgrade including mortice and cylinder on front and back doors: 90-120 minutes.

Do you provide documentation for insurance?

Yes — we provide an itemised invoice naming the specific lock, its standard, and the date fitted. Accepted by all major UK home insurers.
