After a break-in, a door can look closed without working properly. Fixtures & Fittings Services - Benelux examines the state of the lock, the cylinder, the keep and the frame to prepare the restoration of the closing and the useful repairs.

A Fixtures & Fittings Services - Benelux professional urgently repairs the frame and wooden front door of a Brussels building after a break-in, fitting temporary reinforcements.
At a glanceAfter a break-in, look beyond the lock: cylinder, keep, frame and door can all be affected. Immediate securing and lasting repair are two separate steps.

Getting back a usable entrance

You discover a forced door, a torn keep or a split frame. Your first concern is being able to close the home or the shop. Where the situation allows, keep photos of the damage before the repair for your insurance file.

Looking beyond the lock

The cylinder is not always the only element affected. The support of the keep, the fixings or the door leaf can have suffered damage. Changing a part without examining its support can leave a closing that is unreliable or difficult to use.

Separating securing from lasting repair

Describe whether the door can still open and close, and send a general view then details of the damaged zones. Fixtures & Fittings Services - Benelux examines the possibility of restoring the closing, then the repairs or replacements needed. Depending on the damage, the work can concern the cylinder, the lock, the keep, the frame or the door. A reinforcement can also be considered, with a clear view of what it adds.

Preparing the request

Photos of the damage, the state of the closing and the elements concerned prepare the estimate. Describe your request to get an estimate. If a paid visit is considered, its terms are agreed in advance.
