1. Front and rear door security
Check cylinder quality, handle condition, multipoint locking operation, door alignment and whether the door locks smoothly without force. A door that is hard to lift, draggy or stiff can put strain on the mechanism.

Clear priorities instead of guesswork.
A security survey helps you understand what matters most: the locks and doors people use every day, the weak points around the property, and the improvements that give the best practical security benefit.
2. Cylinder and anti-snap risk
Review whether the property would benefit from stronger cylinders or anti-snap lock upgrades, especially on accessible uPVC and composite doors.
3. Window locks and accessible openings
Check ground-floor windows, rear windows, side access points and any windows that are reachable from flat roofs, bins, low walls or garden structures.
4. Key control and key safes
Consider who currently has keys, whether locks should be changed after moving home or tenant changeover, and whether a properly fitted key safe would support family, carers, guests or trusted trades.
5. Garages, sheds, gates and outbuildings
Review locks on outbuildings, garages, gates and side access, especially where tools, bikes, stock or valuable equipment are stored.
6. Landlord, holiday let or business access
For rentals, guest houses, holiday lets and small businesses, review keyholder changes, access routines, staff or guest turnover and whether locks or key safes need upgrading.
Who It Helps
Useful for homes, landlords, holiday lets, guest houses and businesses.
A Brodley Locksmiths security survey can be especially useful after moving home, taking on a rental, preparing a holiday let, reviewing access for carers, securing a block of flats or improving security around a small business.
