Burglary prevention
Why investing in good locks pays off
In 2025 the police recorded 36 residential burglaries in the municipality of Houten, where 2024 still counted 76. Houten was largely built in the seventies and eighties, with courts whose back gardens meet a shared path. From such a path the garden door is the easiest to reach, and it seldom has the same fittings as the front.

Why Locksmith Houten
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.
