Break-In & Burglary Repairs for East Melbourne homes and businesses
After a break-in the priority is making the property secure tonight, not perfect by Friday. We repair or replace what was forced, rekey everything the intruder could have taken keys to, and where a full repair needs materials we do not carry, we secure the opening properly first and come back to finish.
Why East Melbourne in particular
Most of the housing stock is single or double-fronted period terraces. Their original doors take mortice locks rather than the tubular deadbolts sold in hardware shops, and the frames have usually moved enough that the strike matters as much as the lock. Common-property entry doors on these blocks have usually been rekeyed piecemeal over decades, so the key a resident holds and the key the building thinks is current are frequently not the same thing.
Getting to you
Our vans work out of Richmond, so East Melbourne is a straightforward run at most hours. It is a compact suburb, and the whole of it is within a few minutes of the same main roads. We give you a realistic arrival window on the phone rather than a number that sounds good.

What it costs
We do not publish prices, because a jammed deadlock on a heritage door in East Melbourne and a spring latch that has swung shut are not the same job and should not carry the same number. Quotes are free, given before we start, and there is no obligation.

Break-In & Burglary Repairs in East Melbourne — common questions
How quickly can you get to East Melbourne for break-in & burglary repairs?
30 minutes is the target. Our vans work out of Richmond, so East Melbourne is a straightforward run at most hours. It is a compact suburb, and the whole of it is within a few minutes of the same main roads. We give you a realistic arrival window on the phone rather than a number that sounds good.
What should I do before you arrive?
Call the police first and get a report number — insurers ask for it. Photograph the damage before anything is moved or cleaned, and try not to touch the entry point. Then we can start.
Why rekey if only the door was forced?
Because you cannot know what else was taken. If a spare key, a car key or a keyring went missing in the same visit, the lock we just repaired is the least of it.
Can you provide something for my insurer?
Yes — an itemised report of what was damaged and what was repaired, with photographs. Ask for it when you book so we document as we go rather than reconstructing afterwards.
