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
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
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, plus BS-rated locks — built to meet insurance requirements and to 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, repair, lock change or a security upgrade.
- Time of attendance. Standard working hours vs evening, night or weekend 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.
A locksmith you can trust
Outcomes vary widely between traders, so trust comes down to process and transparency. With us you get:
- Plain-English breakdown: what we'd repair, what we'd replace, and why
- Non-destructive entry first; drilling only when no other route works
- Compatibility checks on parts, especially for multipoint locks
- Post-job test: latch smooth, bolt throws fully, and all locking points engage correctly
- Itemised receipt covering parts fitted and work completed
Locksmith FAQs
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 SE postcodes. We answer the phone 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
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.
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.
Lost keys in Catford — 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.
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.
Is there a call-out fee for callouts in Catford?
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.
