1 / 4
A real person answers
You'll speak to a member of our team — a working locksmith, not a call centre. If we ever miss your call, we ring back within 10 minutes.
2 / 4
One fixed price
A couple of quick questions about the door and the lock, then one all-in figure for the job — no hidden extras. Nothing starts until you say yes.
3 / 4
Your price in writing
You'll have your price confirmed before we set off — what it covers and your arrival window. For planned work, we'll also tell you how long the quote stands.
4 / 4
Then we're on our way
One of our own DBS-checked, insured locksmiths sets off — never a stranger from a call centre. To ensure security and legal compliance, you'll need to show valid government-issued photo ID and proof of tenancy (such as a utility bill or lease agreement) before we start work; if these are locked inside, they must be presented immediately upon gaining entry. Payment only once the job's done.

FAQ
Common questions
How quickly can a locksmith reach me?+
For emergency call-outs we typically arrive within 20–30 minutes close to Kingston upon Thames and within the hour further out, depending on traffic and your exact location. We'll always give you a realistic estimate when you call.
Do you charge a call-out fee?+
No. We don't charge a call-out fee for emergency or scheduled visits. You'll be given a clear, fixed price for the work itself before we start.
Will you need to break my lock to get me back in?+
We always try non-destructive entry methods first, using specialist tools rather than force. A lock only needs to be drilled or forced if it's already damaged, faulty, or if non-destructive methods genuinely aren't possible — and we'll explain why before doing so.
Are your locksmiths insured and background-checked?+
Yes. Every locksmith on our team is fully insured and DBS-checked, so you can let them into your home or business with confidence.
What type of locks do you recommend for home insurance?+
Most UK home insurers require BS3621 British Standard locks on final exit doors. We carry a full range of BS3621 cylinders and mortice locks and can advise on what your specific policy requires.
Do you work on uPVC doors and windows?+
Yes, uPVC repair is one of our most requested services. We carry replacement gearboxes, cylinders, handles and hinges to fix multi-point locking mechanisms without replacing the whole door.
Can you help if I've lost all my keys, including spares?+
Yes. If you have no working keys at all, we can gain entry using non-destructive methods where possible and then supply and fit a new lock with a fresh set of keys in the same visit.
Do you offer contracts for businesses?+
Yes, we work with offices, retail units and managing agents on priority response contracts, master key systems and scheduled maintenance. Get in touch to discuss your site's needs.
