Lock changes, lost key call outs and communal entrance work across the N and NW districts, at any hour.
Lockout, lost keys, a change of tenancy or a door that has stopped fastening. Each one routes differently, so the detail is worth giving up front.
Whoever is nearest and free is sent, arriving with cylinders, nightlatches and mortice locks already loaded rather than needing a supplier.
The lock is examined, the sensible options are set out, and the figure is confirmed with you. Only then does the work begin.
The new lock is tested, the keys are handed over and any paperwork you need for a landlord or insurer can be requested.
Much of the north of the city is converted flats behind a shared front door, and that changes what a lost key actually means. The right answer is often about key control rather than simply fitting a new barrel.
Getting through a shared street door and then your own is two separate problems. Both are assessed, and where the entry can be made without damage that route is taken first.
A key missing from a converted house affects every flat behind that door. Changing the barrel and issuing a matched set to each household is usually cleaner than replacing the whole lock.
Replacement cylinders for Banham locks and other high security patterns are stocked, including restricted key systems and security card controlled keys where copies need to be traceable.
Landlords and agents changing over a property need the old keys made useless and a clean set handed on. A written record of what was fitted can be supplied with the job.
Bailiff appointments are booked in advance and sometimes attended by police. The locksmith gains entry where it is lawful to do so and changes the locks immediately afterwards.
Older north London front doors often carry a rim nightlatch above a mortice deadlock. Both can be upgraded to British Standard patterns without altering the appearance of the door.
A starting price is quoted at the point of booking. Because damage, door type and lock choice cannot be judged over the phone, the final price is settled on site before work begins.

Shared front doors collect keys. Former tenants, an old cleaner, a builder from three summers back, and nobody can say how many are still out there.
If every lock you own is the same type, they can be set to open with a single key. That clears the handful of near identical brass out of your pocket without making anything less secure.
Landlords and agents need the old keys made useless and a fresh set handed on. The barrel change and a matching set can usually be arranged together, with a record of what was fitted supplied alongside.
The service runs through the N and NW districts, from Islington and Camden up through Highbury, Holloway, Finsbury Park and Highgate towards Barnet. Have your postcode ready and current availability for that address will be checked on the call.
