Deadlock Installation — Metal Door
A British Standard BS3621 certified TSS deadlock professionally fitted to a metal door. Deadlocks provide a significantly higher level of security than standard locks and are often required by home insurers for full cover.
Door Frame Reinforcement
A burglar forced entry by smashing through the door frame. The customer — already familiar with our work from a previous job — called us immediately. We reinforced the frame with heavy-duty hardware, restoring security fast and giving the customer full peace of mind.
"After a break-in, I called LT Lockworks straight away — I'd used them before and knew they'd sort it fast. They arrived quickly, reinforced the whole frame and made the door secure again. Wouldn't call anyone else."

Sashlock Installation — Wooden Door
A complete sashlock with lever handle and escutcheon key plate professionally fitted to an oak interior door. A sashlock combines a latch and a deadbolt in one unit — providing both convenience and security in a clean, modern finish.
Fire Exit Push Bar Replacement
A full panic bar / push-to-open fire exit bar replaced on a commercial steel door. Fire exit hardware must meet strict safety regulations — we ensure all installations are compliant, functional, and built to last, keeping both staff and premises protected.
Hookbolt Replacement & Euro Lock Change
A worn multipoint hookbolt mechanism and euro cylinder replaced on a UPVC door. The first image shows the old faulty mechanism with the euro lock still in place — the second shows the new hookbolt strike plate and cylinder fitted cleanly. A common but critical repair that restores full security to any UPVC door.
Gatemaster Lock Installation — Side Gate
The customer could only lock her side gate from the inside using bolts — leaving no way to secure it from the outside. We supplied and fitted a Gatemaster deadbolt lock with a keyed cylinder, giving her full external access control for the first time. The job came with its challenges — the gate needed adjusting and reinforcing, the ground was uneven and uphill, and nothing was quite straight — but the end result was spot on. The customer was so happy she left a tip! 🎉
Hardware Used: Gatemaster Deadbolt
Heavy-duty bolt-through gate lock with keyed cylinder — suitable for wooden, metal and PVC gates. Lockable from both sides.
"A tricky job — uneven ground, an unlevel gate, and a tight space — but the customer was so pleased with the result she left a tip on top. That's what it's all about."
Window Board-Up — Residential Door
A customer's front door fanlight window was broken and needed immediate securing. As a temporary measure, cardboard had been placed to cover the gap. We attended on an emergency basis and fitted a proper wooden board cut precisely to shape — securing the arch window and making the property safe while a permanent glass replacement was arranged.
Window Board-Up — Commercial Property
A commercial premises on 14A had its door glass smashed. The customer called us for an emergency board-up to secure the property and prevent further access. We fitted a full OSB board to completely cover the glazed section — making the premises weatherproof and secure until a permanent repair could be carried out.
House Fire — Emergency Access & Lock Replacement
A customer's house suffered a fire. In the chaos, their key was destroyed in the blaze — leaving them locked out of their own home with a damaged door. They called LT Lockworks for emergency access.
We gained entry using a precision 6mm drill-picking technique — no damage to the door, no damage to the frame. The old burnt lock was carefully removed, the door was fully secured with a brand new ERA Certfire BS3621 5-lever sashlock, fresh keys cut, and everything covered and repaired. The customer was back inside their home safely.
"Non-destructive entry. No damage to door or frame. New ERA Certfire BS3621 5-lever sashlock fitted with fresh keys. Door fully secured and repaired — customer back in their home safely."
Van Lock Upgrade — Citroën Berlingo
A full deadlock installation carried out on our own Citroën Berlingo work van. High-security slam locks and deadlocks were fitted to the rear and side doors, providing a significant upgrade over the standard factory locks.
Van tools and equipment are a prime target for theft — a standard van lock offers little resistance to a determined thief. Our security-grade locks are pick-resistant, drill-resistant, and conform to Sold Secure standards, giving genuine peace of mind whether the van is parked on site, overnight, or on the street. If we fit this level of security to our own vehicle, you can trust the quality of the work we carry out on yours.
Large-Scale Commercial Board-Up — Multi-Storey Car Park
A major emergency board-up contract on a decommissioned multi-storey car park in South London. Multiple access points — including vehicle ramps, entrance tunnels, and internal openings — were fully secured using heavy-duty SterlingOSB Zero structural boards, cut and fixed to size on site.
The site had suffered significant vandalism, illegal access, and structural exposure — presenting a serious public safety and liability risk. LT Lockworks mobilised quickly, working into the night to board up the entire perimeter and secure every point of entry. All work was completed in a single overnight shift, leaving the site fully secured and protected by morning.
