Burglary prevention
Why investing in good locks pays off
In 2025 the police recorded 37 residential burglaries in the municipality of Assen, well down on the 60 of a year earlier. The weak spot has not moved, though: Assen is mostly ground-level housing with a garden door or a rear entrance, and that side of the house is where a burglar works unseen. Solid hardware on those doors does more than any alarm.
60%

Insurance-proof

An SKG ★★★ cylinder with anti-core pull fitting is the most effective and affordable way to secure your home. We advise you free of charge on the best solution for your situation.

Why Locksmith Assen
Reliable, transparent, and certified
Locksmith was founded out of frustration with an industry full of rogue practices. Too many people paid sky-high bills for unnecessary drilling or waited hours for a technician who didn’t even show up. We do things differently: with a fixed price, certified technicians, and a 2-year warranty on every lock.

After a burglary in Assen
Broken into? These are your next steps
In a good many Assen districts the garden backs onto a rear path, and that is where the damage tends to be after a break-in. Our technician makes that door close and lock again first. File the police report afterwards and keep our itemised invoice, because your contents insurer normally refunds the work on the strength of it.
Report to the police
Call 0900-8844 or go to the police station. Keep your report number. Your insurer needs this for the claim.
1
Call Locksmith for an emergency closure
Call us. We are available 24/7 and safely secure your home the same day (or night).
2
Send our invoice to your insurance
We send the invoice directly by email. This is itemized and meets the requirements of all major insurers.
3
Have the locks upgraded, often reimbursed too
Many insurers also reimburse the installation of better locks after a burglary. We are happy to advise you on this free of charge.
4
✅ Locksmith costs after a burglary: almost always 100% reimbursed
Always keep both the police report and our invoice. Without either of these, the insurer can deny the claim. In doubt? Contact your insurer.
