🔑 Another busy start to the day for the A3 Locksmith & Security team!

Our first job today took us to Darlington, where we diagnosed and replaced a failed door gearbox, getting the customer's door back to full working order and secure once again. ✅

From there, it was back to Hartlepool to fit another set of replacement patio door handles, giving the door a fresh look and ensuring smooth, reliable operation. 🚪

🚐🔐 Is Your Car or Van Secure? 🔐🚗

A3 Locksmith & Security

Your vehicle is more than just transport. For many people, especially tradespeople, it's a mobile workshop carrying valuable tools and equipment.

Unfortunately, vehicle theft and tool theft remain a major problem across the UK, but there are practical steps you can take to reduce the risk.

Ways to improve your vehicle's security:

✅ Always lock your vehicle, even for a quick stop.
✅ Keep tools and valuables out of sight where possible.
✅ Park in well-lit, secure areas or on your driveway.
✅ Consider steering wheel locks and pedal locks for added protection.
✅ Install GPS trackers or vehicle alarms.
✅ Fit additional security locks to vulnerable van doors.

Van owners: Extra protection is a wise investment.

At A3 Locksmith & Security, we can supply and install:
🔒 Deadlocks for maximum security when your van is parked.
🔒 Slam locks that automatically lock when the door closes, ideal for busy deliveries and tradespeople.
🔒 Additional van security solutions are designed to deter opportunist thieves and protect your livelihood.

A few simple upgrades can make your vehicle a far less attractive target and provide valuable peace of mind.

If you'd like advice on improving the security of your car or van or to discuss the best locking solutions for your vehicle, get in touch with A3 Locksmith & Security.

What a day, when we get called to a new build site, a customer has just moved in, and there are no keys for their patio locks.
Another company had a go 1st, but the locks were 3 star British standard. After they snapped the locks externally and tried internally, they were stumped and gave up because the centre then deadlocked.
We were then called in by the company who installed the doors.
Needless to say, we got the doors open, the locks changed, and then landed 4 more properties from the building company to change all the locks and a few handles.

After our slightly late information post was put up, we were contacted by a London based landlord who's purchased a few properties in the North East.

He asked us to board the remaining openings on a house to secure it fully.

When we arrived on site, 2 windows were already boarded to sub-par standards and were secured with Phillips head screws.

We advised they should be replaced due to age and state, but we were asked to leave them be.

We then proceed to fix and secure the rear gate then board the house fully and correctly, even making the front door board up into a gate, so builders could get in and carry out necessary repairs.

What a bloody, miserable day.

🔐 "County Durham's weather is keeping us on our toes today!

One minute, the sun is shining, the next the clouds roll in, and the rain makes an appearance.

It's a bit like an old door that can't quite decide whether it wants to open smoothly or put up a fight.

Luckily, unlike the weather, your locks and doors don't have to be unpredictable!"

This fun job was for an elderly gentleman who'd lost his keys to his flat.

We had the flat door picked open in 3 minutes flat and the lock replaced, he then remembered he'd also lost another key to his snooker room, old traditional rim sash lock, to his surprise we produced a jailers ring full of keys and after only testing 3 keys number 4 got it open.
