Questions
Frequently asked questions
What authorisation is required before entry?
We request reasonable confirmation of occupancy or authority from the owner or managing agent before attempting entry. This helps protect the property and its occupants.
Should locks be changed between tenancies?
A lock change provides greater control over access where previously issued keys cannot all be accounted for. The appropriate replacement depends on the existing hardware and security requirements.
What is an anti-snap cylinder?
An anti-snap cylinder is designed to resist a recognised forced-entry method affecting some cylinder locks. Suitability depends on the door, hardware and the security specification required.
Can you standardise hardware across several properties?
We can assess a coordinated hardware specification across a building or portfolio. Please provide the number of doors and details of the current locks so options can be reviewed.
