Residential Locksmith in London

Homes are the bulk of our work: Victorian terraces with two locks and a stuck sash, ex-local authority flats with communal entry, new-build blocks with electronic fobs, and every uPVC back door in the suburbs.

Every engineer who comes to your door is DBS checked, uniformed, carries ID and will talk you through the work before starting. If a family member will be home instead of you, tell us and we will confirm arrangements with them.

Moving in? Change the locks first

Nobody can tell you how many keys to your new home exist. Previous tenants, former partners, builders, cleaners, agents and their friends all had one at some point. A cylinder change on the day you move in is the most worthwhile ten minutes of your move.

Landlords and letting agents

We handle tenancy-change lock swaps on schedule, and supply keyed-alike or restricted key sets across a portfolio. For HMOs we can set up a master suite so you hold one key while each tenant only opens their own room and the front door.

Period doors handled carefully

Original timber doors in London's conservation areas need locks fitted without wrecking the joinery or the character of the door. We work with the door you have — retaining original furniture where possible, morticing carefully, and recommending frame reinforcement instead of heavier hardware where that is the better answer.

FAQs

Residential Locksmith — your questions

Are your locksmiths vetted before entering my home?

Yes. Every engineer is DBS checked, police vetted and insured, arrives uniformed and carries photo ID. You can ask to see it at the door.

Can you do the work while I am at work?

Often yes, if someone can grant access. Many customers arrange for a neighbour, partner or letting agent to be present, and we confirm everything with you by phone first.

Do you cover flats in blocks with communal entrances?

Yes — communal doors, entry systems and individual flat doors. For communal work in a managed block we may need the managing agent's authority, which we can arrange with them directly.

Locked out? We are already on the road.

Call now and speak to an engineer. We aim to be with you within 30 minutes, 24 hours a day.
