Which exact areas of London do you cover? +

We cover all major London boroughs, including North, South, East, West, and Central London. Operating from multiple hubs ensures we always have a technician relatively close to your immediate location.

Can you repair locks or do they always need replacing? +

We always attempt a repair first if the locking mechanism is fundamentally sound but merely jammed or misaligned. We only suggest a full replacement if the internal components are permanently broken or completely worn out.

How much do your general locksmith services cost? +

We pride ourselves on transparent, highly competitive pricing. Service costs fundamentally depend on the exact lock type required and the time of day. We always provide a clear, upfront estimate before commencing any physical work on your door.

Do you charge a call-out fee? +

We operate a straightforward pricing structure with absolutely no hidden call-out fees during normal working hours. You merely pay for our exceptional labor and the cost of any parts supplied and fitted.

Can you help if I am locked out of my home? +

Yes, resolving residential lockouts is our primary emergency service. We utilize non-destructive entry techniques (such as lock picking or letterbox manipulation) to get you quickly back inside without unnecessarily destroying your existing hardware.

Can you extract a broken key from a lock? +

Yes. Using specialized extraction tools, we can gently remove snapped key blades deeply embedded inside the cylinder without damaging the internal pin tumblers, saving you the strict cost of completely replacing the lock.

Do you upgrade locks to meet British Standards (BS3621)? +

Yes, upgrading physical security to comply with BS3621 is highly crucial for home insurance validity. We routinely upgrade older timber door deadlocks to modern, insurer-approved 5-lever British Standard mortice locks.

Are your lock replacements guaranteed? +

Yes. All mechanical locks, handles, and cylinders we supply and fit automatically come with a standard 12-month manufacturer’s guarantee, in addition to our own comprehensive workmanship warranty.

Can you open a lock without causing damage to the door? +

In over 90% of local lockouts, yes. We utilize advanced, completely non-destructive covert entry methods. Only in cases involving seized broken mechanisms or extremely high-security anti-pick locks is destructive drilling necessary, and even then, the wooden door itself remains unharmed.

Do you work with commercial clients as well as residential? +

Yes, our dedicated commercial division handles extensive corporate environments, retail shops, and office buildings. We supply heavy-duty commercial door closers, master key suites, and restricted keyways specifically for business security.

What types of locks do you supply and fit? +

Our vans carry a massive inventory of diverse locks. This includes heavy-duty rim cylinders (Yale locks), Euro cylinders, 5-Lever mortice deadlocks, digital push-button keypads, smart locks, and multipoint gearboxes for modern UPVC doors.

Can you install new locks securely on a fresh door? +

Yes. This is termed a 'fresh fit'. Our carpenters precision-cut the wood perfectly to house any required locking mechanism cleanly, accurately, and highly securely, ensuring optimal performance from day one.

I've moved into a new property. Should I change the locks? +

We strongly recommend it. You simply do not know how many duplicate keys exist with previous owners, tenants, local builders, or estate agents. Completely replacing the cylinders gives you absolute peace of mind.

Do you provide free security surveys for homes? +

Yes, we can efficiently assess your property’s overall security, specifically highlighting vulnerable access points and suggesting cost-effective lock upgrades perfectly tailored to modern burglary trends in your specific area.

Can you fit anti-snap locks to my property? +

Do you offer services for wooden, UPVC, and composite doors? +

Yes, our highly trained engineers are entirely proficient across all primary door fabrications. We adjust dropped hinges on UPVC, precisely plane sticking wooden doors, and replace central gearboxes on heavy composite frames.

Are you able to fix multipoint locking mechanisms? +

Yes, multipoint strips effectively locking UPVC doors top and bottom routinely fail internally. We stock a vast array of completely universal and significantly specific center gearboxes explicitly to replace the broken sections securely.

What should I do if my lock is stiff or difficult to turn? +

Do not force the key, as it will likely severely snap inside the cylinder. A stiff lock heavily indicates internal wear or severe misalignment with the door frame. Contact us immediately so we can cleanly adjust the strike plate or securely lubricate the mechanism perfectly.

Do you offer boarding up services after a break-in? +

Yes, we provide 24-hour emergency boarding-up. We comprehensively secure shattered windows and completely broken door panels with thick timber boarding, making the property instantly secure before arranging permanent repairs.

Are your locksmiths insured to work on my property? +

Yes, we carry comprehensive Public Liability Insurance. This guarantees you are entirely legally protected against absolutely any accidental damages occurring fundamentally while we conduct highly technical security work confidently on your premises.

My door won't lock properly. What could be the issue? +

If the lock functions perfectly while the door is open but identically refuses to bolt seamlessly when shut, the door has dropped on its heavy hinges or swollen terribly with moisture. We smoothly re-align the woodwork safely to completely restore functionally perfect locking reliably.
