Lock Opening in Clitheroe
Clitheroe has a varied property mix. The older stone terraces running off Wellgate and around the Castle Street area tend to have older locks fitted to traditional wooden doors. The newer builds out towards Edisford Road and Low Moor are more likely to have uPVC and composite doors with Euro cylinders and multi-point systems.
Whatever the type of door, non-destructive entry is the starting point for every single lockout. If your keys are inside the property, we will always attempt to open the door without causing any damage to the lock first.
Lock Changes and Upgrades
Plenty of Clitheroe’s older properties still have locks that offer very little resistance to the methods most commonly used by burglars today. Older night latches on stone terraces and basic Euro cylinders on earlier uPVC doors can both be defeated quickly by anyone with a little bit of knowledge and basic tools.
In 2026 all properties regardless of age should have at least one British Standard mortice lock fitted to a wooden door and an anti snap cylinder fitted to a Upvc or composite door. We carry locks from all the leading brands and have something to suit everybody’s budget.
uPVC and Composite Multi Point Locks
Multi-point locking systems are fitted to just about every single uPVC and composite door across Clitheroe and the surrounding villages. These systems lock the door at several points along the frame and offer solid security.
They do suffer from many common faults. Doors expand, twist and drop causing them to become difficult to lock. This is usually a simple cost effective re alignment that’s needed requiring no parts.
Multi point locks can completely fail leaving the door unable to lock or unlocked depending on which position it fails in.
Where a gearbox or full locking system has failed, we carry replacement parts for the most common makes and models we come across in Clitheroe.
Clitheroe Safe Installation
We supply and fit safes for Clitheroe homeowners and businesses. Whatever you need to store away safely we can help you choose the right model.
We can then discuss where the best location is to install the safe based on your requirements and the layout of the property.
Once you’ve chosen the best safe for your needs and decided on its location we will supply and install it for you. Professional installation is essential when it comes to safes. A safe that’s incorrectly fitted can void your insurance. It’s always best to use a professional safe installer for the ultimate peace of mind that your valuables will actually be protected.
TS007 Anti Snap Locks
Lock snapping is a fast, quiet method of bypassing a standard Euro cylinder, and it works on the majority of uPVC and composite doors that have never had a lock upgrade. We are seeing more new doors in Clitheroe already been supplied with anti snap locks as standard but there’s still a huge portion of outdated ones out there. A TS007 3 star anti snap cylinder removes the vulnerability entirely and is a straightforward swap on most doors.
If you are not sure whether your current locks are at risk, send us a photo of the cylinder by either text, WhatsApp or email and we will be happy to assist.
