Get Secure Property Check FAQs
A quick guide to using the Brodley Locksmiths online security check and knowing when to request professional advice.
What is the Get Secure Property Check?
The Get Secure Property Check is an online checklist from Brodley Locksmiths that helps you review property type, local context, locks, doors, windows, key control, key safes and early warning signs before requesting advice or a security survey.
Can the online check replace a professional locksmith visit?
No. It is a helpful starting point, but it cannot inspect the condition of locks, uPVC mechanisms, cylinders, keeps, hinges or window locks in person. Brodley Locksmiths can carry out a practical security survey if you want a clearer assessment.
Which areas is the security check useful for?
It is useful for homeowners, tenants, landlords, holiday-let owners, guest houses, static caravans, care-access situations and small businesses across Tendring, including Clacton-on-Sea, Frinton, Walton, Harwich, Dovercourt, Manningtree, Brightlingsea, St Osyth and surrounding villages.
What should I do if the check shows security or door reliability concerns?
If the check highlights security concerns or a higher risk of lock, door or mechanism failure, contact Brodley Locksmiths for advice. Depending on your answers, a lock change, anti-snap upgrade, uPVC door repair, multipoint lock repair, key safe, window lock repair, garage lock or security survey may be the most sensible next step.
