What we do in Haringey
Haringey covers a mix of suburban semis in N10, period conversions in N8, and tower blocks and terraces in N15 and N17. Each has different lock requirements — but the principle is the same: if your euro cylinder is not 3-star rated, it can be snapped in well under a minute. We replace it with Avocet ABS, which cannot.
Crouch End and Muswell Hill in particular have long timber doors with original mortice locks supplemented by a euro nightlatch — we upgrade the cylinder without changing the look of the door. Tottenham and Wood Green see more uPVC and composite doors where the multipoint mechanism remains, but the cylinder is the snap target.
A common Haringey job
After Haringey burglary clusters in 2023, insurers in N8 and N10 started asking for proof of TS007 3-star cylinders on lapse renewals. ABS satisfies that automatically.

Why ABS — even more relevant in Haringey
The London snap-attack method does not discriminate by borough — but the housing stock does affect which doors are most exposed. Whether you have a Victorian timber front door, a uPVC back door, or a composite door on a new-build flat, the euro cylinder is what holds it shut. We replace it with the only cylinder rated 3-star against snap, bump, pick and drill attack independently: Avocet ABS.
What it costs
£149 flat. Cylinder, fitting, three keys, written invoice — all included. No callout fee, no per-minute labour, no upsell on the doorstep. The price you read is the price you pay.
Who we work with in Haringey
Three jobs make up almost all our Haringey work: landlords doing tenancy-change lock changes, tenants wanting their own keys after moving in, and homeowners upgrading from a generic cylinder to a 3-star ABS. If your job is one of those three, email us with your postcode and door type — we’ll come back within 2 hours with a slot.
