Emergency lockouts
Stuck outside your home or business? Lockouts go straight to the front of the queue, and we open the door without damaging the lock whenever the mechanism allows.
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
Moving in, lost keys or post-break-in — a lock change (or a rekey) restores control over who can open your doors.
Learn moreDoor & multipoint repairs
Handle stiff, or the door only locks under pressure? Usually a worn multipoint gearbox or a dropped door — we repair or replace the mechanism.
Learn moreSecurity upgrades
Anti-snap, anti-bump and anti-pick cylinders and BS-rated locks that meet insurance requirements and 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
Front doors aren't the whole story — we repair window locks, garage locks, roller shutters and security grilles too.
Learn moreCommercial locksmiths
Access control, master-key suites, smart locks and lock maintenance for shops, offices, landlords and HMOs.

Locksmith FAQs
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.
Why does my uPVC door in Plumstead 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.
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.
How quickly can you get to me in Plumstead?
For emergencies such as lockouts we aim to be with you in around 30 minutes, depending on traffic and where you are in the SE postcodes. We answer the phone 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
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.
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.
