Advice from our engineers

Straight-talking help from people who do this every day

No jargon, no upselling — just what we’d tell a friend or a family member if they rang us.

Locked out? Here's what to do before you call us

First, take a breath and check the obvious — is a window on the latch, is a housemate five minutes away, is there a spare with a neighbour? If not, stand somewhere safe and well-lit, and call us on 020 7101 3450. Tell us the door type (wood, UPVC, composite, aluminium) and roughly what brand of lock if you can see it — that lets our engineer bring the right tools and, if needed, the right replacement parts in the van so you're not paying for two visits.

After a break-in or attempted break-in

Get somewhere safe and call 101 for a crime reference number — your insurance will want it. Don't touch the damaged lock or frame more than you have to; a photo helps. We'll come out, secure the property the same night (board-up if there's smashed glass), and quote you separately for the permanent repair once it's light. Most home insurance policies cover emergency securing under 'trace and access' — we give you a written invoice you can claim against.

Choosing the right lock for a London front door

For UPVC and composite doors the honest answer is a 3-star anti-snap cylinder — Ultion, Avocet ABS or Brisant. Lock snapping is still the single most common way front doors get attacked in NW London and a proper 3-star cylinder defeats it in seconds. For wooden doors, a BS3621 5-lever mortice deadlock is what your insurance is asking for, ideally paired with a good nightlatch. Don't overspend on 'smart' features you'll never use — spend the money on the physical cylinder first.

For landlords, agents and HMOs

Between tenancies you have two sensible options: a full cylinder change (cheapest, quickest, gives the new tenant fresh keys) or a re-pin of the existing cylinder if it's a recent high-security one. For HMOs and blocks of flats, remember that fire-escape doors need BS8621 thumbturn locks — a standard deadlock on an escape route can invalidate your fire risk assessment. We can master-suite a whole building so you carry one key that opens everything.

Not sure which of the above applies to you? Send us a photo of the door and lock on WhatsApp
and one of the engineers will tell you honestly whether it’s a five-minute fix or something worthbookinga visit for. We’d rather give you free advice than sell you a job you don’t need.

FAQ

Answers to common questions

Can’t see yours? Call us — we’re always happy to help.

I'm locked out right now — how fast can you actually get to me?

Honestly, most jobs across NW London we’re on your doorstep in 20–30 minutes. If we’re finishing up nearby it can be under 15. When you call we’ll tell you a real ETA based on where the nearest engineer is, not a scripted number to keep you on the line.

Do you charge a call-out fee?

No call-out fee, ever. You pay for the work carried out and nothing else. We quote the full price on the phone before we set off, and again in person before we start — so there are no awkward surprises when we’re finished.

How much does an emergency lockout cost in London?

For a straightforward non-destructive lockout in NW London you’re usually looking at £75–£120 during the day, £120–£180 evenings, and £150–£220 late night or bank holidays. If a lock has to be replaced the parts are on top and always quoted upfront.

Can you open my door without breaking the lock?

In the huge majority of lockouts, yes. Picking, bumping and bypass tools mean the lock stays in one piece and you keep using the same keys. We only drill as an absolute last resort — usually on very old or already-broken locks — and we’ll always tell you first and quote the replacement before we touch it.

I've lost my keys — should I change the locks?

If there’s any chance the keys can be traced back to your address (a bag stolen with ID inside, keys lost on the doorstep, a break-up, a moved-out flatmate) then yes, change or re-pin the cylinder. If you dropped them somewhere anonymous like the gym, a quick cylinder swap gives peace of mind for under £150 in most cases.

My UPVC door won't lock when it's shut — can you fix it?

Almost always, yes. Nine times out of ten it’s the multi-point gearbox that has failed, or the door has dropped and the hooks aren’t lining up with the keeps. We carry the common Yale, ERA, Fuhr, GU and Winkhaus mechanisms in the van and can usually fix it the same visit.

My key snapped in the lock. Can it be saved?

Usually yes. If the break is clean we can extract the broken piece, cut you a new key from the barrel and you’re back in business. If the cylinder is worn or the key snapped because the lock was seizing, we’ll recommend replacing the cylinder rather than patching a lock that’s about to fail again.

What locks do insurance companies want on my front door?

For a wooden door most UK home insurers ask for a 5-lever mortice deadlock to BS3621 (look for the little kitemark on the faceplate). For a UPVC or composite door they want a TS007 3-star cylinder or a 1-star cylinder paired with 2-star handles. We’ll check your policy wording with you and fit exactly what it says.

Do you fit anti-snap locks like Ultion and ABS?

Every day. Ultion, Avocet ABS, Brisant, Yale Platinum 3★ — we’re stockists and fit them as our default upgrade after any break-in or attempted burglary. Lock snapping is still the most common way UPVC doors are attacked in London, and a proper 3-star cylinder makes a genuine difference.

Someone tried to break in last night. What should I do first?

Get somewhere safe, call 101 for a crime reference number if you haven’t already, then call us. We’ll board up any smashed glass, secure the door so you’re safe overnight and come back with the right parts if a full repair is needed. Keep the receipts — most insurers reimburse emergency securing.

Are you actually local, or a call centre that dispatches whoever's cheapest?

We’re the engineers you speak to. No overseas call centre, no middleman price hike. When you ring 020 7101 3450 you talk to someone who knows Edgware from Enfield and can tell you exactly who’s coming and when.

Are you DBS checked and insured?

Yes — every engineer is DBS checked, uniformed and carries ID. We hold £5,000,000 public liability insurance and are happy to send the certificate over before we arrive if you’d like to see it.

Do you give a guarantee on the work?

12 months on all our workmanship, plus the full manufacturer’s warranty on any lock we supply (up to 10 years on Ultion). If anything goes wrong that’s on us, we come back and fix it — no arguments, no extra call-out.

Can I pay by card, or is it cash only?

Card, Apple Pay, Google Pay, contactless or bank transfer — all fine. No cash-only nonsense and no cheeky card surcharge. You’ll get a proper VAT receipt by email straight after payment.

Do you cover landlords, letting agents and HMOs?

Yes. We handle changeovers between tenancies, lost-key rekeys, master-suited systems and BS8621 thumbturn fire-escape locks for HMOs. We can invoice the agency directly and work to your maintenance SLAs.

Can you fit a smart lock like Yale Linus or Ultion Nuki?

Yes — we’re regularly asked for Yale Linus L2, Ultion Nuki, Yale Conexis and August. We’ll check your door thickness, multi-point mech and Wi-Fi position first so you don’t end up with a lock that won’t lock or won’t connect.

How do I know a locksmith isn't going to overcharge me?

Three quick checks: a real local phone number that gets answered by a human, a written quote before any work starts, and a clear name plus a marked van at your door. If any of those are missing, don’t let them start. We tick all three, and it’s on the receipt.

Do you fit and certify fire doors?

We inspect, repair and certify FD30 and FD60 fire doors to current Regulation 10 requirements, including intumescent strips, smoke seals, closers and BS8621 escape locks. Ideal for HMOs, blocks of flats and small commercial premises in London.

What areas of North West London do you cover?

Edgware, Barnet, Wembley, Harrow, Hendon, Mill Hill, Stanmore, Kingsbury, Cricklewood, Finchley, Golders Green, Kenton and everything in between — basically the HA, NW and EN postcodes. If you’re on the edge of that, still call, we probably cover you.

What time do you actually stop answering the phone?

We don’t. The line is manned 24/7, 365. Christmas Day, 3am on a Tuesday, that awkward Sunday morning — same number, same team.

Can you come today for a non-emergency booking?

Usually yes. Same-day bookings for lock upgrades, cylinder changes and door repairs are the norm rather than the exception. If you’d prefer a specific slot (before school run, after work) just ask when you book.

Will you tidy up after the job?

Always. Old locks, packaging and drill swarf go in the van with us. Your hallway looks like we were never there — apart from a door that finally works properly.
