Emergency lockouts
Locked out at home or work? Lockouts are top priority, and we use non-destructive entry wherever possible so the lock stays intact.
Learn moreLock repairs
Sticking cylinders, latches that won't spring back, mortice locks that bind — we diagnose and repair rather than replace where it's safe and cost-effective.
Learn moreLock changes & replacement
Moving in, lost keys or post-break-in — a lock change (or a rekey) restores control over who can open your doors.
Learn moreDoor & multipoint repairs
Door only locks if you lift the handle hard? That's usually a worn gearbox or misalignment. We repair and replace multipoint mechanisms.
Learn moreSecurity upgrades
Cylinders rated against snap, bump and pick attacks, alongside BS-grade locks that satisfy insurers and stand up to today's break-in techniques.
Learn moreBurglary repairs & boarding
After a break-in we secure your property fast, then sort permanent repairs — doors, frames, locks and weak points.
Learn moreWindows, garages & shutters
Front doors aren't the whole story — we repair window locks, garage locks, roller shutters and security grilles too.
Learn moreCommercial locksmiths
From shopfronts and offices to landlords and HMOs — access control, master-key suites, smart locks and maintenance contracts.
Learn moreWhat affects the cost?
Locksmith pricing varies because the work varies — but we're always upfront. You'll get a clear price before we start, with no call-out fee and no VAT surprises.
- Type of job. Whether it's a lockout, a repair, a lock change, or a security upgrade.
- Time of attendance. Office hours vs out-of-hours attendance.
- Parts required. Standard parts vs anti-snap or BS-rated hardware.
- Complexity. Number of locks and doors, and the type of mechanism.
A locksmith you can trust
Outcomes vary widely between traders, so trust comes down to process and transparency. With us you get:
- Plain-English breakdown: what we'd repair, what we'd replace, and why
- Non-destructive entry where feasible; drilling only as a last resort
- We verify part compatibility before fitting — especially critical on multipoint locks
- Post-job test: latch smooth, bolt throws fully, and all locking points engage correctly
- Itemised record of the parts fitted and work completed
Locksmith FAQs
Will my lock need to be drilled to get me back in?
Yes — in most cases we can gain entry using non-destructive techniques, so your lock is undamaged and doesn't need replacing.
Is a lock change enough after I've lost my keys?
A straightforward lock change normally does the job. If the existing locks are weak (basic euro cylinders, no anti-snap protection), we'll mention it — but there's no pressure to upgrade.
How quickly can you get to me in Sydenham?
On urgent callouts in Sydenham we typically reach you within 30 minutes — traffic and exact address permitting. The phone is answered 24/7, including weekends and holidays.
Do you charge a call-out fee?
No — we don't charge a call-out fee. The price quoted on the phone (or at the door) is the price you pay; if anything would change it, we tell you first.
Are your engineers DBS-checked and insured?
Yes. Our engineers are DBS-checked and the work is fully insured, with full credentials behind it.
Why does my uPVC door in Sydenham only lock if I force the handle up?
A handle that needs forcing usually means the gearbox is wearing out or the door has dropped out of alignment with the keep plates. We replace the gearbox and re-align the door so it locks effortlessly.
