Emergency lockouts
Locked out at home or work? Lockouts are top priority, and we use non-destructive entry wherever possible so the lock stays intact.
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
Lost keys, a new tenancy or after a break-in — we change or rekey locks to restore control over who can access your property.
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
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.
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 vs repair vs full lock change vs security upgrade.
- Time of attendance. Standard hours vs out-of-hours callouts.
- Parts required. Standard hardware vs high-spec parts like anti-snap cylinders or BS-rated locks.
- Complexity. The number of locks and doors, and the complexity of the mechanism.

Outcomes vary widely between traders, so trust comes down to process and transparency. With us you get:
- Clear explanation of your options — repair vs replace, and why
- Non-destructive entry first; drilling only when no other route works
- Parts checked for fit and compatibility, particularly on multipoint mechanisms
- Door tested after work: smooth latch, full bolt throw, correct engagement
- Itemised receipt covering parts fitted and work completed
Locksmith FAQs
Can most lockouts be solved without drilling?
In the vast majority of lockouts we use non-destructive entry — picking, bypass or letterbox tools — so the existing lock stays intact and you don't need to pay for a new one.
Why does my uPVC door in Crystal Palace only lock if I force the handle up?
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.
Are your locksmiths insured and vetted?
Every engineer is DBS-checked, fully insured and credential-verified. You get a named, vetted locksmith at your door — never a sub-contracted unknown.
How quickly can you get to me in Crystal Palace?
For emergencies such as lockouts we aim to be with you in around 30 minutes, depending on traffic and where you are in the BR postcodes. We answer the phone 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
Is there 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.
After losing my keys, do I need a full lock change?
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.
