Every week, we’re spotlighting a familiar corner of Tooting and sharing a quick home security tip inspired by the area. This week, we’re right in the heart of SW17, surrounded by cafés, late-night shops, and busy commuters — and that makes it the perfect time to talk about communal entrances and flat security.

🚪 Local Tip of the Week:
If you live in a converted house or block of flats around Tooting Broadway or Tooting Bec, your main entrance might still rely on a basic latch or low-grade lock. These can wear down quickly or be easy to bypass — especially in older Victorian conversions.
Upgrading to a British Standard deadbolt or anti-snap euro cylinder can make a big difference in keeping your flat secure, without needing major door work.
đź’ˇ Extra Tip:
If your communal door sticks or doesn’t close properly, report it to your landlord or managing agent straight away. A door that doesn’t shut tight is practically an open invitation.
