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
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
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
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
Break-ins get make-safe done immediately, followed by permanent repairs to the door, frame, locks and any weakness that was exploited.
Learn moreWindows, garages & shutters
Beyond front doors: window locks, garage locks, roller shutters and security grilles all get the same treatment.
Learn moreCommercial locksmiths
Access control, master-key suites, smart locks and lock maintenance for shops, offices, landlords and HMOs.
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 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:
- Clear options laid out — repair or replace, and the reasoning behind the recommendation
- Non-destructive entry where feasible; drilling only as a last resort
- Parts checked for fit and compatibility, particularly on multipoint mechanisms
- Every door tested after the work — smooth latch, full bolt throw, clean engagement
- Itemised record of the parts fitted and work completed
Locksmith FAQs
Lost keys in South Hampstead — is changing the lock enough?
For most situations, yes. Changing or rekeying the affected cylinders restores control over who can access the property. We'll flag if an anti-snap upgrade is worth doing at the same time.
Is there a call-out fee for callouts in South Hampstead?
No call-out fee, no hidden charges and no VAT shock at the end — you get a clear price up-front, before any work starts.
Can most lockouts be solved without drilling?
Yes, almost always. Drilling is the last resort: most modern cylinders can be picked or bypassed without damage, which is faster, cheaper and means no new lock afterwards.
My uPVC door only locks when I force the handle — what's wrong?
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.
How fast can you reach me when I'm locked out?
For emergencies such as lockouts we aim to be with you in around 30 minutes, depending on traffic and where you are in the NW postcodes. We answer the phone 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
Are your locksmiths insured and vetted?
Yes — DBS checks, full public liability insurance and proper credentials across the whole team. Happy to show ID at the door.
