Advanced Lock and Key recently completed a commercial lock repair in Twinsburg, OH, after a break-in at a local business here. The customer called us and said the back door was forced open using a crowbar, causing significant damage to the bolt and latch.
The burglars were able to break through the existing locs, leaving the door unsecured and in need of immediate repair.
We arrived at the site and recommended a security upgrade to prevent future break-ins.
Our locksmiths replaced both locks with high-security commercial-grade options designed to withstand forced entry attempts. To reinforce the door, we installed a heavy-duty latch guard or cover plate as we call it, which helps prevent burglars from prying the latch with tools like crowbars.
In addition to the new locks and latch guard, we also installed an extra reinforcement plate on the strike plate for the lever handle( you can see in the photos).
This provide an additional strength to the lock system, reducing the risk of it being compromised again. The combination of upgraded locks, reinforced hardware, and added protection improve the security of the business.
Break-ins like this show the importance of having strong, properly installed locks and high quality door hardware, especially for businesses with vulnerable entrances.
A latch guard and strike plate reinforcement are simple but still very effective measures that can prevent future incidents.
