Locked out of your home or business? We prioritise lockouts and use non-destructive entry wherever possible — so your lock isn't damaged.
Learn moreLock repairs
Sticking cylinders, latches that drag, mortice locks that won't throw — we diagnose the true fault and repair where repair makes sense.
Learn moreLock changes & replacement
New tenancy, lost keys or aftermath of a break-in — we change or rekey the locks so only the right people have access.
Learn moreDoor & multipoint repairs
If the door only locks when you fight the handle, the multipoint mechanism is wearing or the door's misaligned. We diagnose, then repair or replace.
Learn moreSecurity upgrades
Cylinders rated against snap, bump and pick attacks, alongside BS-grade locks that satisfy insurers and stand up to today's break-in techniques.
Learn moreBurglary repairs & boarding

Locksmith FAQs
Why does my uPVC door in Swiss Cottage only lock if I force the handle up?
A handle that needs forcing usually means the gearbox is wearing out or the door has dropped out of alignment with the keep plates. We replace the gearbox and re-align the door so it locks effortlessly.
Are your engineers DBS-checked and insured?
Yes. Our engineers are DBS-checked and the work is fully insured, with full credentials behind it.
Do you charge a call-out fee?
No — we don't charge a call-out fee. The price quoted on the phone (or at the door) is the price you pay; if anything would change it, we tell you first.
Will my lock need to be drilled to get me back in?
Yes — in most cases we can gain entry using non-destructive techniques, so your lock is undamaged and doesn't need replacing.
How quickly can you get to me in Swiss Cottage?
On urgent callouts in Swiss Cottage we typically reach you within 30 minutes — traffic and exact address permitting. The phone is answered 24/7, including weekends and holidays.
Is a lock change enough after I've lost my keys?
A straightforward lock change normally does the job. If the existing locks are weak (basic euro cylinders, no anti-snap protection), we'll mention it — but there's no pressure to upgrade.
