Why Old Street Keeps Our Locksmiths Busy

Warehouse and Loft Conversions: Heavy Timber and Steel Doors

Old Street's dynamic mix of architecture presents unique locksmithing challenges, especially in warehouse and loft conversions. Many of these flats, located in former industrial buildings off City Road and Bunhill Row, feature heavy timber and steel-faced doors.

We're well-versed in handling these robust materials, ensuring security without compromising the building's character.

Our expertise covers fitting BS3621 mortice deadlocks, as well as Banham or Chubb cylinders, into deep-revealed frames. It's essential to work with precision to avoid splitting the old timber, a task we approach with care and experience.

We also understand the importance of preserving original ironmongery, which adds to the unique charm of these conversions.

At Gilded Star Locksmith, we're providing tailored solutions, maintaining the distinct industrial aesthetic while enhancing security.

Whether it's an urgent lock replacement or a planned upgrade, our 24/7 service is ready to assist.

Modern Apartment Developments and uPVC Multipoint Locks

In the busy area around Old Street, modern apartment developments often feature uPVC, composite, and aluminium doors equipped with multipoint locking systems. These locks offer robust security but can face issues like gearbox failures and lifted handles, often caused by regular use or misaligned strikes due to seasonal movement.

We understand how frustrating it can be when these systems malfunction. That's why we recommend TS007 three-star rated Ultion or Avocet ABS anti-snap cylinders. They're specifically designed to defeat lock snapping on euro profiles, a common method used by intruders.
