Emergency lockouts
Locked out at home or work? Lockouts are top priority, and we use non-destructive entry wherever possible so the lock stays intact.
Learn moreLock repairs
Cylinders that stick, latches that fail to spring back, mortice locks that bind — we repair the existing lock rather than replace it wherever it's safe and sensible.
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
Door only locks if you lift the handle hard? That's usually a worn gearbox or misalignment. We repair and replace multipoint mechanisms.
Learn moreSecurity upgrades
Anti-snap, anti-bump and anti-pick cylinders, plus BS-rated locks — built to meet insurance requirements and to resist modern attack methods.
Learn moreBurglary repairs & boarding
After a break-in, the make-safe comes first — then permanent repairs to the door, frame, locks and any weak point that was exploited.
Learn moreWindows, garages & shutters
Beyond front doors: window locks, garage locks, roller shutters and security grilles all get the same treatment.
Learn moreCommercial locksmiths
Shops, offices, landlords and HMOs — access control, master-key suites, smart locks and routine lock maintenance.

Locksmith FAQs
If I'm locked out in Herne Hill, will the lock need to be drilled?
Yes — in most cases we can gain entry using non-destructive techniques, so your lock is undamaged and doesn't need replacing.
Is a lock change enough after I've lost my keys?
For most situations, yes. Changing or rekeying the affected cylinders restores control over who can access the property. We'll flag if an anti-snap upgrade is worth doing at the same time.
How fast can you reach me when I'm locked out?
Most emergency callouts in the SE postcodes we attend in under 30 minutes. We answer the phone 24 hours a day, every day of the year, and there's always an engineer on shift.
Are your Herne Hill locksmiths DBS-checked and properly vetted?
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 call-out fee, no hidden charges and no VAT shock at the end — you get a clear price up-front, before any work starts.
My uPVC door only locks when I force the handle — what's wrong?
It's a classic sign that the multipoint mechanism is worn or that the door has dropped slightly on the hinges. We diagnose which on the spot and either swap the gearbox or re-align the hinges and keep plates.
