Learn moreLock repairs
Sticking cylinders, latches that won't spring back, mortice locks that bind — we diagnose and repair rather than replace where it's safe and cost-effective.
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 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. Lockout, repair, lock change or a security upgrade.
- Time of attendance. Standard hours vs out-of-hours callouts.
- Parts required. Standard cylinders and parts vs anti-snap or BS-rated upgrade hardware.
- Complexity. The number of locks and doors, and the complexity of the 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 first; drilling only when no other route works
- Compatibility checks on parts, especially for multipoint locks
- Post-job test: latch smooth, bolt throws fully, and all locking points engage correctly
- Itemised receipt covering parts fitted and work completed
Locksmith FAQs
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.
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.
How quickly can you get to me in Holborn?
On urgent callouts in Holborn we typically reach you within 30 minutes — traffic and exact address permitting. The phone is answered 24/7, including weekends and holidays.
Are your engineers DBS-checked and insured?
Yes. Our engineers are DBS-checked and the work is fully insured, with full credentials behind it.
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.
Why does my uPVC door in Holborn 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.
