Emergency lockouts
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
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
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
After a break-in we secure your property fast, then sort permanent repairs — doors, frames, locks and weak points.
Learn moreWindows, garages & shutters
It's not just front doors. We repair window locks, garage locks, roller shutters and security grilles too.
Learn moreCommercial locksmiths
From shopfronts and offices to landlords and HMOs — access control, master-key suites, smart locks and maintenance contracts.
Learn moreWhat affects the cost?
Locksmith pricing varies because the work varies — but we're always upfront. You'll get a clear price before we start, with no call-out fee and no VAT surprises.
- Type of job. Whether it's a lockout, a repair, a lock change, or a security upgrade.
- Time of attendance. Standard working hours vs evening, night or weekend callouts.
- Parts required. Standard hardware vs high-spec parts like anti-snap cylinders or BS-rated locks.
- Complexity. Number of locks and doors, and the type of mechanism.
A locksmith you can trust
Outcomes vary widely between traders, so trust comes down to process and transparency. With us you get:
- Plain-English breakdown: what we'd repair, what we'd replace, and why
- Non-destructive entry where feasible; drilling only as a last resort
- We verify part compatibility before fitting — especially critical on multipoint locks
- Post-job test: latch smooth, bolt throws fully, and all locking points engage correctly
- Itemised record of the parts fitted and work completed
Locksmith FAQs
How quickly can you get to me in Highbury?
For emergencies such as lockouts we aim to be with you in around 30 minutes, depending on traffic and where you are in the N postcodes. We answer the phone 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
Is there 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.
After losing my keys, do I need a full lock change?
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.
Why does my uPVC door in Highbury only lock if I force the handle up?
That's usually a failing multipoint gearbox or door misalignment. We can repair or replace the mechanism and realign the door so it locks smoothly again.
Can most lockouts be solved without drilling?
In the vast majority of lockouts we use non-destructive entry — picking, bypass or letterbox tools — so the existing lock stays intact and you don't need to pay for a new one.
Are your locksmiths insured and vetted?
Every engineer is DBS-checked, fully insured and credential-verified. You get a named, vetted locksmith at your door — never a sub-contracted unknown.
