Burglary prevention
Why investing in good locks pays off
In 2025 the police recorded 46 residential burglaries in the municipality of Kerkrade, against 79 in 2024. Whole streets here still consist of miners houses: small blocks with a rear entry and a garden door onto an alley. On that side hangs the lightest lock of the house, and nobody is looking that way.
60%
Of all burglaries occur via the front or back door

Why Locksmith Kerkrade
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.
