Your home is your safe space — and protecting it should always be a top priority.
At DGM Locksmiths, we’ve helped thousands of homeowners across Birmingham, Solihull, Sutton Coldfield, and the West Midlands strengthen their home security.
Here are five expert-recommended ways to keep your family and property safe from burglars.
1️⃣ Upgrade to a 3-Star or Diamond-Rated Lock
Your door lock is your first line of defence.
Standard locks can be snapped or picked in seconds — but 3-Star High Security Cylinders like the Ultion 3-Star Plus or Yale 3-Star are designed to resist drilling, snapping, bumping, and picking.
✅ £5,000 security guarantee
✅ Police-preferred (Secured by Design)
✅ Sold Secure Diamond approved
💡 Upgrade your front and back door locks for maximum protection – DGM Locksmiths supplies and fits all major 3-Star locks across Birmingham.
2️⃣ Install a High-Quality Night Latch or Secondary Lock
A strong night latch or secondary deadbolt adds an extra barrier.
It stops burglars from forcing the door even if they manage to bypass the cylinder.
Our team can fit Yale night latches, ERA bolts, or BS3621 5-lever mortice locks for added peace of mind.
3️⃣ Reinforce Your Door & Frame
Even the strongest lock won’t help if your door or frame is weak.
We recommend:
- Anti-kick strike plates
- Hinge bolts
- UPVC door mechanism checks and adjustments
⚙️ DGM Locksmiths also repairs damaged or jammed UPVC mechanisms and realigns doors for smooth operation.
4️⃣ Secure Windows & Patio Doors
Burglars often enter through windows or sliding doors.
Fit window locks, handle restrictors, and anti-lift devices for extra protection.
We also install patio door gearboxes and anti-snap cylinders designed for sliding and French doors.
5️⃣ Don’t Forget Smart Security
Smart locks and cameras give you real-time control and alerts from your phone.
We install Yale Smart Locks, Ring doorbells, and Ultion Nuki Smart Locks — so you can monitor and lock your door remotely, even when you’re away.
