We also supply and fit upgraded security components to improve protection and maintain reliable day-to-day operation.
Lock Upgrades
Report
Lock Upgrades Keeping your locks up to date is an important part of maintaining effective property security. Older locking systems may not comply with current insurance expectations and can leave your home exposed to modern break-in techniques. We install high-quality BS3621 and SS312 compliant locks for improved protection. We also offer professional inspections to determine whether your current locks meet the appropriate standards.
Anti Snap Locks
Report
Anti Snap Locks Our anti snap lock fitting service is aimed at strengthening the security of doors vulnerable to euro cylinder attacks. We use premium SS312 diamond standard locks that offer reliable defence against lock snapping and similar techniques. These locks are suitable for both uPVC and composite doors. We can also install additional security features, including reinforced handles and sash jammers, to provide extra support.
Lock Opening Lockouts are always handled as a priority because we recognise the stress and inconvenience they can cause. Supported by more than three decades of locksmith experience, we offer expert non-destructive lock opening services using advanced professional equipment. We carefully inspect each lock issue before deciding on the most appropriate method of entry. Whether keys have been lost, snapped, or the lock itself has failed, we aim to restore access promptly and efficiently.

Fantastic service. Steve was brilliant : top bloke, personable, fantastic service. We just moved into our new house, the lock broke on the second day. Steve answered straight away and was flexible to work around two young kids. Offered lots of relevant information and provided two brand new locks. Door operates a hell of a lot better now. Would 100% recommend.

Steve came round the other day to open up our *chamber of secrets* (a little workshop which we didn't had the key to when we bought this house). He's a very friendly lad, had a good chat too. I hope we don't run into any issues needing a locksmith any time soon, but if we do, I won't call anyone but him.

Excellent service. Our back door lock broke. He had same day availablility, and came and replaced it for a flat rate fee. Really easy to communicate with via text, resonable price as well. Will be using him again if we have any other issues!

Brilliant service. I needed a new lock and handle for a back door and stable door window and Steve was so helpful and gave great advice. He popped round the same day, Steve ordered multiple handles to make sure I got the finish that I wanted. Made the process very easy. I didnt realise he will also cut extra keys for your new locks at half the price Timpsons do so order from him if you want extra spares!

I had an issue with my external door, rang Steve for some advice he was so helpful and professional gave me all the information I needed. I was stressing because the door wasnt secure he came the same day to secure the door and changed the locks for me so I could use it and the came back the next day once the steel plates had been delivered to fit them to fix the door. I could not have asked for anyone better to come along that day and sort my door out! 100% would recommend Stes services I am and will be forever grateful!

Patio door was shut and wouldnt open, Steve quickly got around that problem. The mechanism was broken beyond repair, he quickly sourced a replacement and fitted it. Called him Friday, he attended on Monday, job was completed with replacement parts and upgraded locks by Thursday of the same week.
Cannot recommend him enough

Steve provided an excellent service. He is polite, knowledgeable and informative. He fixed the locking mechanism on a UPVC door and upgraded the locks to 3* for security. He was also happy to share what we should do to keep our new hardware working smoothly for years to come: highly recommend.

Brilliant service. Steve fitted a lock on an internal door. Super-neat job. He even tweaked the door so that it closed properly, which it had never done before. I felt very comfortable having him in the house. Highly recommend.

Steve rescued us on a cold January evening when we were locked out. On top of getting us back in the house, he also improved the door mechanism whilst fitting the new lock. Amazing service and excellent value!
