Burglary prevention

Why investing in good locks pays off

In 2025 the police recorded 82 residential burglaries in the municipality of Zeist, against 112 in 2024. Zeist lies on the Utrechtse Heuvelrug and many houses back directly onto woodland or a long drive. A garden door there is quickly out of sight of the neighbours, while the fittings often date from the build itself.

60%

Of all burglaries occur via the front or back door

30min

Average time a burglar is willing to spend on a 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.

Why Locksmith Zeist

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 Zeist

Broken into? These are your next steps

After a break-in in Zeist it is often the garden door at the wood edge that was forced, out of view of the street. We first make sure the house can be closed again. Your report goes through the police; our itemised invoice is what the contents insurer needs to cover 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.

Call Locksmith for an emergency closure

Call us. We are available 24/7 and safely secure your home the same day (or night).

Send our invoice to your insurance

We send the invoice directly by email. This is itemized and meets the requirements of all major insurers.

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.

✅ 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.
