About the area
Thornton Heath, door by door.
Thornton Heath is organised around a single crossroads. The clock tower, put up in 1900 where the High Street meets Brigstock Road and Parchmore Road, still marks the middle of things, and the streets around it are packed with Caribbean bakeries, African and Asian grocers, takeaways and phone shops. Away from the shops, CR7 is almost entirely terraced: long runs of late Victorian and Edwardian houses, many divided into two or more flats, with interwar homes towards Norbury and council blocks scattered between. It is one of the most diverse parts of Croydon, home to young renters, first-time buyers and families who have lived here for generations. Croydon University Hospital on London Road is a major local employer, and Selhurst Park is close enough that match days change the traffic. Grangewood Park and Thornton Heath Recreation Ground give the area its main green space.

Getting to you
Thornton Heath station on Brigstock Road has Southern trains towards London Victoria and East Croydon, and Norbury and Selhurst stations are close by. The A23 London Road runs along the western edge past Thornton Heath Pond, while the High Street, Brigstock Road and Whitehorse Road carry local traffic. We cover CR7 together with SW16, SE25 and CR0. Most terraced roads have no driveways and are tightly parked, so our engineers sometimes stop a short walk away, particularly on Crystal Palace home match days.

Questions
Locksmith Thornton Heath, answered.
I live in a converted Victorian flat in Thornton Heath and the shared front door will not latch. Can you fix it?
Yes. On shared doors in converted terraces the problem is usually a worn nightlatch, a misaligned keep or a tired closer. We can repair or replace the faulty part, and if the door belongs to the freeholder we will explain what was done so you can pass it on.
How fast can you get to Thornton Heath?
We typically arrive within 20 to 30 minutes across most of CR7. London Road and the roads around the clock tower can be slow at rush hour and on match days, so we give you a realistic estimate when you call.
I am locked out of my house near Thornton Heath station. Will you have to drill the lock?
Not usually. Most lockouts on uPVC and timber doors can be opened with non-destructive techniques. Drilling is a last resort for high-security locks, and if it is needed we explain why first and fit a replacement there and then.
Can you change the locks on a council or housing association flat in CR7?
We can open your door and change your own flat lock in an emergency, but check your tenancy first, as many landlords want to be told about lock changes and may need a key. Shared entrance doors and entry systems are normally the landlord's to repair.
My landlord has asked for a better lock on my rented terrace off Brigstock Road. What do you recommend?
For a timber front door we fit a BS3621 five-lever mortice deadlock, which most insurers expect. For a uPVC or composite door we fit a TS007 3-star anti-snap cylinder. We provide keys for you and the landlord, and can add window locks on ground floor sashes.
