Say whether it is timber, composite or uPVC and what the key is doing. That detail decides which mechanism the technician loads before setting off.
Routing sends whoever is closest and free, which is why an address in Peckham and one in Putney get different arrival windows.
Options are laid out with the difference between them explained. You say yes or no, and nothing is charged for work you did not agree to.
Whether that took a cylinder change, a gearbox or an alignment, the door is tested with you standing there before the technician leaves.

Locked out of a flat, house, or shop in South London? When a key snaps, a nightlatch fails, or a door refuses to secure, people search for locksmith South London because they need help fast, not tomorrow. Our local locksmith service is set up for urgent callouts across homes, rentals, flats, and commercial premises, with emergency locksmith support and lock repair available where appropriate. If you are dealing with access problems after work, late at night, or before opening hours, we can talk through the issue, explain the likely fix, and arrange a prompt visit. A 30-minute response time is available where feasible, depending on traffic and call volume, so you can get practical help without unnecessary delay.
For planned work, we also handle lock change, lock replacement, new lock fitting, home locksmith jobs, commercial locksmith work, and security upgrades for doors, windows, and communal entry points. Before any work begins, you receive a transparent free quote and the price is confirmed in advance, so there are no surprises. We only carry out extra work with your approval, and payment is secure. That means you can book confidently whether you are moving into a rental, replacing worn hardware, improving shop security, or repairing a damaged lock. Every job is backed by a 12-month workmanship guarantee, giving you added reassurance from start to finish.
On a uPVC or composite door, the long locking bar inside the door is rarely what fails. The euro cylinder, the small barrel your key slots into, is the part that gives way. It snaps at the screw hole in its middle.
That is why a door can look untouched from the street after a break in. The frame, hinges and hooks all held. The barrel did not.
If a particular model is not on the van, it can be bought during the visit.
A door that will not lock is not always the barrel. The gearbox inside the door, the handle, the metal plates on the frame and the way the door sits are all checked, because changing the wrong part means paying twice.
