Locked out of your home or business? We prioritise lockouts and use non-destructive entry wherever possible — so your lock isn't damaged.
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
If the door only locks when you fight the handle, the multipoint mechanism is wearing or the door's misaligned. We diagnose, then repair or replace.
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
Shops, offices, landlords and HMOs — access control, master-key suites, smart locks and routine lock maintenance.

Locksmith FAQs
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.
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 East Dulwich?
On urgent callouts in East Dulwich we typically reach you within 30 minutes — traffic and exact address permitting. The phone is answered 24/7, including weekends and holidays.
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.
Are your engineers DBS-checked and insured?
Yes. Our engineers are DBS-checked and the work is fully insured, with full credentials behind it.
Why does my uPVC door in East Dulwich 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.
