Cover across Wimbledon, Wimbledon Village and Raynes Park for lockouts, faulty locks and doors that will not fasten.
Explain which door is affected and what the lock is doing. This determines the appointment you are offered and the parts the technician brings.
The van carries cylinders, mortice locks, nightlatches and the necessary tools, so most visits are completed without a second appointment.
The technician examines the lock, explains the available options and confirms the cost. Work starts only once you have agreed to it.
You receive the keys and see the lock operated several times, so you can be confident the door is functioning correctly.
Most calls fall into one of two categories. Either you cannot get into the property, or you cannot leave it properly secured. Telling us which applies helps us send the right technician with the right parts.
The latch has engaged behind you, or the keys are somewhere you cannot reach. The technician will try to open the existing lock and leave it in working order, and will explain the alternative if that is not possible on your door.
Keys weaken gradually before they snap, so this rarely happens without warning. The broken section can often be removed and the lock kept, although a barrel that has already damaged one key may be due for replacement.
A key that needs forcing, or a lock that only works on the second attempt, is giving you notice. Having it looked at while it still functions is considerably easier than dealing with it once it has failed completely.
Timber swells and doors settle over time, which stops the bolt meeting the plate it is supposed to enter. Adjusting the hinges or the plate itself often resolves this without replacing the lock.
These doors carry their own locking arrangements and are frequently overlooked until they stop working. The handle, the mechanism inside the door and the alignment are all assessed together.
A missing key is only a concern if you cannot account for where it went. Changing the barrel and providing a new set resolves the question in a single visit.
Every visit begins with a starting price. The final figure depends on the lock, the door and the extent of any damage, so it is confirmed in person before work begins.

A repair is often possible and usually costs less than a replacement. It is not always the correct choice, and a locksmith who recommends new parts every time is not giving you an honest assessment.
Repairing a damaged lock can leave it weaker than it was originally. Where that would reduce the security of the property, the technician will recommend a replacement and explain the reasoning, then set out the options available to you.
If the key turns correctly but the door will not close, the door has usually shifted on its hinges. Adjusting the hinges, or the metal plate fitted to the frame, can resolve this without a new lock. Where a door needs replacing altogether that becomes a larger piece of work, and fitting a door with no lock work involved is a handyman job rather than a locksmith one.
