Burglary prevention
Why investing in good locks pays off
In 2025 the police recorded 24 residential burglaries in the municipality of Smallingerland, roughly half the 49 of 2024. Drachten grew fast after the war and whole quarters consist of through-lounge houses with a wooden back door and a narrow window beside it. That wood moves with the years, the fittings gain play, and such a door then gives sooner than you would expect.

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 Drachten
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.
