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.
