Burglary prevention
Why investing in good locks pays off
In 2025 the police recorded 55 residential burglaries in the municipality of Velsen, against 61 in 2024. IJmuiden was largely rebuilt after the war as portico flats and low blocks with a shared entrance and storage on the ground floor. Once inside that portico a person can work quietly on a front door nobody sees from the street.
60%
Of all burglaries occur via the front or back door

Why Locksmith IJmuiden
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.
