How We Can Help

If your key has broken, the door won’t turn, or you’ve simply shut the door behind you, we use professional, non-destructive entry techniques to get you back inside quickly and safely.

Wherever possible we pick or bypass the lock rather than drill it, protecting your door, frame, and hardware.

What you can expect

Fast attendance from a local locksmith.

Clear pricing agreed up-front – no surprises.

ID & proof-of-address check for your security before opening the door.

Clean, tidy work and respectful service at your property.

Aftercare advice to stop the problem happening again.

How we gain entry (without damage)

• Lock picking & decoding for cylinders, night latches, and mortice locks.

• Bypass methods for uPVC/composite multi-point mechanisms where appropriate.

• Specialist extraction for snapped keys without harming the lock.

• Realignment & lubrication if the door has dropped or the mechanism has stiffened.

• Controlled drilling & replacement only as a last resort, and only with your approval.

We work on all common doors & locks

uPVC, composite, aluminium and timber doors

Euro cylinders (standard & high-security/anti-snap)

Mortice sash/deadlocks, rim cylinders & night latches

Patio, french and bi-fold doors; garage side doors

Smart/digital locks (where supported)

If your lock has failed

Some “lockouts” are actually mechanism failures. We diagnose on site and can:

• Open the door, repair or replace faulty gearboxes and multi-point strips

• Fit insurance-approved, anti-snap cylinders

• Re-key locks if keys are lost or stolen

Helpful to have ready when you call

Your location and door type (uPVC/composite/timber)

A brief description (e.g., “key turns but won’t open”, “key snapped”, “door slammed shut”)

Any backup keys you may have (don’t force the lock)

Need help right now? Call for fast attendance and professional, non-destructive entry to get you safely back inside.

We had such a great experience with Optimus Locksmith! We first spoke on Wednesday about changing our locks, and by Friday everything was already done! Quick, smooth, and completely stress free. He was super friendly, professional, and really efficient. We’re very happy with the service and would highly recommend!

Outstanding service! Fixed my door promptly, supplied a new lock, and clearly demonstrated how to use it. Later in the week, I had a few queries, and they were more than happy to assist—even visiting to ensure everything was perfect. No problem was too small, and the professionalism and attention to detail gave me great peace of mind. Highly recommended to anyone needing reliable support

Big thanks to Gavin for getting out to me so quickly when my door wouldn’t lock! He arrived fast, was friendly and professional, and had the problem sorted in no time. Really appreciated how he explained what went wrong and made sure everything was working perfectly before leaving

Called Optimus late on a Friday evening to gain access to a property in Corby that a tenant had lost the keys to. Gavin was on-site within 15 minute's and my tenant was back in the property within 25 minutes. All for a reasonable price!

Called Optimus out this evening as our front door lock had failed and we were unable to secure the door.

From taking the call to upgrading our locks the process was fast and simple.

Highly recommended!
