About this service

In a vacant home, a window left slightly open, a jammed latch or a rusted padlock can create a security risk or let rain in. During each check, we test every external door and window, confirm that latches, bolts and locks work properly, inspect grilles and gates, and look for scratch marks or damage that might suggest an attempted break-in.

Chennai's conditions add their own wear. Humidity and monsoon rain can swell wooden doors and frames so that they no longer close properly, and coastal salt air rusts metal grilles, hinges and padlocks. Spotting these issues early allows simple fixes, such as lubrication or adjustment, before a lock fails or a door stops sealing. Findings are reported with photos. If a repair or replacement is needed, we suggest the work and arrange it only once you approve.

What is included

  • Testing of all external doors, internal doors and windows
  • Checks on latches, bolts, locks, padlocks and door closers
