Lockforce Locksmiths were called by a family today saying we've been burgled in Middlesbrough. I secured and repaired the damage caused and also fitted Anti Snap Locks to the entry points at the property. 

"Broken lock on our office door"

I was contacted by the local football club Marske United as they had a broken lock on the main office door. I replaced the lock and upgraded it to an Anti Snap which Lockforce supply as a standard. I also carried out a survey of their other buildings and offered to assist them in the redevelopment of the facilities at the ground as they progress and require adequate security and panic hardware.
