Break-In Lock Repairs in Boksburg
A break-in leaves two problems: what was taken, and a property that can't be closed properly tonight. It might be a kitchen door levered off its keep in Bardene, a sliding door lifted out in Beyers Park, or a cut padlock and a mangled staff door at a unit in Boksburg East. We're a mobile locksmith open 24/7. The first visit makes doors, gates and shutters lockable again; then we help you decide what should be stronger.

Before you phone us
Your own safety and the police report come first. Don't go in if anyone could still be inside; call SAPS or your armed-response company. Ask SAPS for the case number, since insurers usually want it. Then photograph the damaged locks, doors, gates, shutters and bars before anything is moved, and make a list of what went missing that opens something: house keys, gate remotes, estate access tags, keys from an office key box.
Making it lockable tonight
| Damage | What we do first |
|---|---|
| Cylinder snapped, drilled or twisted out | Fit a new cylinder or lock |
| Keep or strike torn out of the frame | Re-secure the keep, or fit hardware that holds the door shut until a carpenter can repair the frame |
| Padlock cut off a gate, container or shutter | Replace it, ideally with a heavier, shrouded type |
| Gate or trellis lock broken | Repair or replace the gate lock |
| Safe forced and now faulty | Assess it under safe repairs |
We repair buckled shutters too. Badly split frames and bent burglar bars need a carpenter or welder. We'll say so on site and leave the opening as secure as we can until they come.
Keys that walked out with the burglars
Assume stolen keys will be used. Every lock and padlock they fit is worth changing, which on many doors means a new cylinder rather than a whole lock; lock replacement shows the options. A business should also rebuild its key list from scratch and think about who really needs which key.
Stronger next time
Once the immediate work is done, look at the route they used. That might point to an anti-snap cylinder on an aluminium or uPVC door (anti-snap cylinders explained), a heavier deadlock on a timber door, or a better padlock and hasp on the yard gate. For warehouses, a lock checklist for logistics warehouses gives you a door-by-door list. Our suggestions have to fit your door and your budget, not a sales target.
Price and the insurance claim
R250 call-out fee. You're quoted on site and nothing is done until you agree. The invoice we leave can be submitted with your insurance claim. EFT, cash or card.

Yes. We're open 24/7, and making a burgled property lockable before morning is a typical night call.
Should I wait for the insurance assessor first?
Check your policy or ask the insurer. In most cases people photograph the damage first and then secure the property.
