Burglary prevention
Why investing in good locks pays off
In 2025 the police recorded 129 residential burglaries in the municipality of Gouda, against 120 in 2024. Many older buildings in the centre stand on soft peat, so doors and frames shift a little more with every passing year. A door that binds, or one that has play in it, gives way to simple tools faster than you would like.
60%
Of all burglaries occur via the front or back door

SKG★★★
Highest Dutch standard; significantly harder to force open
Insurance-proof
Damage costs often reimbursed by home insurance with police report + invoice
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.
How it works
How does it work when you call a locksmith in Gouda?

Why Locksmith Gouda
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 Gouda
Broken into? These are your next steps
After a break-in in Gouda the frame of an older building is often damaged and the door no longer shuts. We close the house up first. File your report with the police and keep the itemised invoice; with that a contents insurer normally refunds the cost.
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.
