While addressing the diverse security needs across Islington and Hoxton, we've recently completed several notable residential jobs.
A young couple in a Georgian terrace off Liverpool Road wanted to enhance their security. We replaced their 30-year-old Yale 5-lever night latch with an insurance-grade Yale 89 BS3621 and a 3-Star Ultion at the bottom. Their front door now meets all UK insurer specifications, and we handed them two new sets of keys.
In Hoxton, a landlord with three warehouse-conversion flats needed enhanced control over key copies. We changed all six entrance cylinders to ABS Master with restricted keys, ensuring only we can cut new keys, providing him.
A widow in a Canonbury Square stucco townhouse sought a discreet upgrade after a neighbor's break-in. We retained her period door's charm while changing the internal cylinder to anti-snap and servicing the mortice, enhancing her security seamlessly.
