Break-In & Burglary Repairs for Prahran 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 Prahran in particular
The single-fronted Victorian and Edwardian terraces here have narrow front-door stiles that will not take a standard tubular deadbolt, and many sit under a heritage overlay — which means the right answer is a mortice lock sized for the stile rather than a bigger hole in a 130-year-old door. Walk-up flat blocks make up a large part of the housing, and their weak point is rarely the flat door — it is the common entry, which is owners-corporation property and often has more keys in circulation than anyone can account for.
Getting to you
We are based in Richmond, so Prahran is a straightforward run at most hours. It sits in the middle of our coverage, and the run is a short one at most hours. We give you a realistic arrival window on the phone rather than a number that sounds good.
Every street in Prahran 3181 is covered, from Commercial Road, High Street and Williams Road out to Pran Central and Aberdeen Road Reserve.

What it costs
We do not publish prices, because a jammed deadlock on a heritage door in Prahran and a spring latch that has swung shut are not the same job and should not carry the same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 Prahran — common questions
How quickly can you get to Prahran for break-in & burglary repairs?
30 minutes is the target. We are based in Richmond, so Prahran is a straightforward run at most hours. It sits in the middle of our coverage, and the run is a short one at most hours. 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.
