Local housing stock and what it means for your locks
Lewisham housing is broadly Victorian terraces dominate Brockley, Lewisham and Forest Hill; large post-war estates in Deptford; modern flats around Lewisham Gateway. Many Victorian conversions retain original door layouts — sympathetic upgrades are essential.

BS3621 mortice locks, Ultion 3-star euro cylinders, brass-finish heritage hardware for SE3.
Crime and security context
Forest Hill and Sydenham see seasonal burglary spikes — we recommend internal deadbolts on rear doors. We strongly recommend pairing any cylinder upgrade with an internal deadbolt on rear doors, key-locking handles on ground-floor windows, and a visual review of side and back gates. Every visit includes a free top-to-bottom security review with no obligation.
