Lockouts, snapped keys and doors that will not fasten, covered across Richmond, Kew, Ham and East Sheen.
Call or fill in the form and describe the fault. What you say decides which slot opens and which technician is sent.
The nearest available technician travels to you with cylinders, mortice locks and the tools to fit them already on board.
The fault is inspected, the options are explained in plain terms, and nothing begins until you agree the final price.
Anything we fit ourselves carries a full year of cover, on the condition that no other hands go into that lock afterwards.
A lock either stops you getting in or stops you shutting the door safely. Describe which of the two it is when you call, because the answer changes the urgency and the parts the technician brings.
The door has closed on the latch, or the key is on the wrong side of it. The technician looks first for a way in that leaves the cylinder and the timber intact, and will say so plainly if the situation does not allow it.
A key that shears inside the barrel usually leaves the blade gripping the pin stack. Extraction works often, though a worn cylinder that has already been forced tends to be better replaced than coaxed.
Older Richmond front doors commonly carry a five lever mortice deadlock set into the stile. Case size, backset and lever count all have to match the existing mortice, which is why the measurement happens on site rather than over the phone.
A cylinder that turns without moving the bolt has usually lost the cam, and a key that needs lifting has usually met a dropped door. Both are worth diagnosing before anything is bought.
Timber swells through a damp autumn and the bolt stops finding the keep. Adjusting the strike plate or easing the frame often solves it without touching the lock at all.
Forced entry damages more than the lock. Handles, keeps, frames and the surrounding hardware are all checked, and a written report is available if an insurer or letting agent asks for one.
Locksmith work is priced per job rather than per hour. A starting price is given when you book and the final figure is confirmed on site once the technician has seen the lock.

If your home insurance names a lock standard, it will almost certainly say BS3621. The catch is that this standard only covers wooden doors.
Buying for the wrong door type is how people pay twice. The technician checks which you have first.
Where a lock can honestly be repaired, it will be. Where a repair would leave the door weaker than it ought to be, you will be told that, and told why.
The map shows the area worked from Richmond, taking in Kew, Ham, Petersham, North Sheen and East Sheen. Give your postcode on the call and you will be told the realistic arrival window for your street rather than a headline figure.
