About the area
Petts Wood, door by door.
Petts Wood owes its look largely to one developer. Basil Scrivener laid out much of the estate from the late 1920s, and the result is a planned suburb of mock Tudor and Arts and Crafts style houses on tree-lined roads, with pockets of Art Deco design. Large parts are protected as an Area of Special Residential Character, so front gardens, original detailing and leaded windows have survived far better than in many suburbs. The railway divides the village in two, with shopping parades around Station Square on one side and along Queensway on the other. The Daylight Inn, built in 1935, is named after William Willett, the builder who campaigned for British Summer Time and who is remembered by a sundial in the National Trust woods that give the area its name. Households are mostly owner-occupiers, many of them families who chose Petts Wood for its schools and quick trains into central London.

Getting to you
Petts Wood station is served by Southeastern trains towards London Victoria via Bromley South, and towards London Bridge, Cannon Street and Charing Cross via Chislehurst, with services south to Orpington and Sevenoaks. Chislehurst Road runs through the village, and the A20 and A21 are both a short drive away. We cover BR5, BR6, BR7 and the rest of the Bromley borough. Parking beside the shops is short stay and controlled, but most residential roads are wide with driveways, so an engineer can usually park close to your door.

Questions
Locksmith Petts Wood, answered.
My house is in the Area of Special Residential Character. Can you change the locks without altering the door?
Yes. Changing or upgrading locks happens within the door itself, so the frontage stays as it is. We choose mortice deadlocks and latches with finishes that suit original 1930s doors, and we avoid cutting fresh holes in period timber where an existing lock case can be reused.
There's a leaded glass panel right next to my front door lock. Is that a risk?
It can be. On many Scrivener-era doors a glazed panel sits within arm's reach of the lock, so a thumb-turn latch could be opened by breaking the glass. We recommend a key-operated deadlock in that position, so the door cannot be opened from inside without a key, and we can advise on safe key storage.
Do you cover the flats above the shops on Station Square and Queensway?
We do. Flats above the parades often have a shared street door and a separate flat door, sometimes reached from a rear service road. Tell us which door is the problem and how you get to it, and we will arrive prepared for that type of lock.
How fast can you reach Petts Wood?
We typically arrive within 20 to 30 minutes in Petts Wood and the surrounding BR5 and BR6 roads. The exact time depends on traffic and the time of day, and we will give you an estimate when you call.
Can you fit locks to side gates and garden doors as well as the front door?
Yes. Detached and semi-detached houses in Petts Wood often have a side passage leading to the garden, and the back door is frequently older than the front. We can fit gate locks, bolts and a BS3621 deadlock to rear doors so the whole house meets the same standard.
