Case Study · Housing Provider Call-Out

Forced-entry repair: door, frame and lock back in one visit.

We were called out by a housing provider after the police had forced entry to a tenant's flat. The door had been kicked through, the frame splintered around the lock keep, and the property was left wide open - no way to secure it and no way for the tenant to get back in.

On the same visit we repaired the timber frame, fitted a new lock case and lever handle, and re-hung the door so it closed cleanly and locked properly. We then installed a combination key safe on the brick beside the door and left the new keys inside, so the tenant could let themselves back in when they returned.
