Professional Security Upgrade Services
Here's a fact about Shoreditch: 21% of our work here involves digital or smart lock technology — the highest concentration of any area we cover. Two smart lock fittings and a six-door digital keypad installation in the past year alone. That's not a marketing angle — it's what Shoreditch residents and businesses actually want. This is an area where security upgrades mean something different from the rest of East London.

The smart lock fittings at E2 and E2 tell a clear story. Shoreditch residents are buying smart locks online — Samsung, Yale Linus, Nuki, similar — and hiring us for professional installation. They've worked out that DIY fitting is risky: the existing mortice may not match the new lock dimensions, alignment has to be precise, and getting it wrong means being locked out of your own property. We ensure correct mortice alignment, strike plate adjustment, and reliable operation. Two customer-supplied smart lock installations in December, 12 days apart, both in E2 apartments. This is a real trend, not a one-off.
At E2, we supplied and fitted 6 digital keypad locks across a converted chapel building — 4 primary units plus 2 back doors, plus a tower bolt for extra security on one entrance. Digital locks were the right call: no key management headaches when tenants change, codes reset in seconds, no wiring needed on heritage doors. For Shoreditch's converted warehouses, chapels, and repurposed commercial buildings, digital keypad systems are the practical upgrade that solves the multi-tenant access problem.
But not every upgrade in Shoreditch is about smart technology. At E2, we gained entry to a 3-lever deadlock and upgraded it to a 5-lever British Standard deadlock on the same visit. Three-lever deadlocks are not insurance-compliant — if your insurer requires BS3621 on every external door, and most do, a 3-lever lock means your policy has a hole in it. We also upgraded an ERA British Standard nightlatch at E2 — a new installation on an apartment door that previously had inadequate security. These are bread-and-butter upgrades that protect your home and keep your insurance valid.
We carry 5-lever BS3621 deadlocks, ERA nightlatches, euro cylinders, and smart lock fitting tools on every van. No call-out fee, and we provide a locksmith certificate for your insurer on every upgrade job.
Serving Shoreditch
London Borough of Hackney
Shoreditch's security upgrade needs split into two clear categories.
The older properties — period conversions across E2, terraces around Hoxton — tend to have outdated locks that don't meet insurance standards.
Three-lever deadlocks, worn rim cylinders, nightlatches that haven't been changed since the building was converted into flats.
These properties need BS3621 5-lever deadlock upgrades and proper nightlatch installations.
Then there's the modern Shoreditch.
Apartments in newer builds where residents want smart locks.
Converted buildings — chapels, warehouses, former commercial spaces — where landlords and operators need digital keypad systems to manage multi-unit access without the nightmare of physical key distribution.
This dual demand is unique to Shoreditch.
In neighbouring Hackney or Bethnal Green, upgrade work is overwhelmingly traditional locks.
In Shoreditch, smart and digital access technology accounts for 21% of our jobs.
Our N1 office puts us close to the area, and we work across E1 and E2 regularly — we know which buildings need traditional upgrades and which are ready for digital.
