That solid click of a bolt seating in its strike is the sound of a job done right. From a single rekey to a whole building's worth of new hardware, we aim for doors that lock as well as they look.

Home lockout service
Our work covers doors and the things that secure them: locks, keys, cylinders, safes, keypads and the electronic hardware that has quietly replaced keys in many buildings. The groups below help you find the right page, and the phone number helps when reading is not the mood.
A lockout is stressful in proportion to how long it drags on.
When you buy a house you inherit its keys, and there is no way to know how many were cut.
The key you reach for. The door you come home to. Good locksmith work begins with understanding how you use them.

Doors on the same property rarely deserve the same investment. We look at which openings are hidden from the street, which lead to what matters and which are already sound, then put the strongest hardware where an intruder would actually try.
Layer 1The key
After the attempted break-in the police officer pointed at your door and said the strike plate was held by two short screws. Nobody got in, but you have looked at that door differently every evening since.
Layer 2The cylinder
Three teenagers, a dog walker, a cleaner and one house key that keeps going missing. You are tired of cutting copies and would rather give each person a code you can switch off, with a proper deadbolt behind it.
Layer 3The bolt and strike
The old deadbolt has grown lazy. You turn the thumb-turn and the bolt creeps out halfway, then needs a second push with the door pulled tight.
Layer 4The door and frame
The back door looks closed until you touch it. The edge is crushed where a bar went in, the latch is bent sideways, and the door swings free with a gentle push no matter how you turn the key.

Hours matter to a business, so commercial visits are planned to fit around opening time, closing time or a quiet afternoon. Tell us when the doors can be worked on and we build the schedule around that.

A smart lock is a good idea on the right door and a headache on the wrong one. Before recommending anything we look at how the door hangs, whether the deadbolt already throws freely, how thick the slab is and where the signal has to reach.
Step 1 of 5
Describe the property, the hardware and what has changed, and the visit starts from what you have seen.
Step 2 of 5
We sit down with whoever manages the building and list the doors, the people and the hours. A stockroom key and a front door key are rarely the same conversation.
Step 3 of 5
If the lock is fine and the door just needs adjusting, we say so. If it has reached the end of its life, we say that too, and show you why.
Step 4 of 5
Repair, rekey, replace or upgrade, with what each involves and what it changes. You pick; we do not steer you toward the biggest job.
Step 5 of 5
Every key tested in every lock, every screw tight, every strike aligned, and the packaging in our van rather than your bin.

Every square is one home in a hundred.
Usually, yes. Most residential doors are prepared to standard sizes, a 54 millimetre cross bore and a backset of 60 or 70 millimetres, and most modern hardware adjusts between those backsets. The locksmith measures before choosing, so the new lock is matched to the door rather than the other way around. Where an older mortise lock or an unusual bore is found, filler plates, extension kits or a carefully jigged new bore bring the door to standard.
It is yours. Some people keep a sound old cylinder as a spare or move a decent deadbolt to a shed or garage door, and the locksmith can rekey it to the house key for that purpose. Worn or damaged hardware is taken away for recycling if you prefer. Either way, the old keys should be gathered up and discarded so nobody confuses them with the new set.
For a household with many people coming and going, codes that can be added and removed are a real convenience. Behind the keypad it is still a deadbolt, so grade and strike matter as much as ever. Batteries typically last months and the lock warns you as they fade; depending on the model, a dead battery is handled with a mechanical override key or with external contacts for a temporary power source, so it is worth confirming which one your lock uses.
Locks and deadbolts are tested against industry standards for security, durability and finish. Commercial hardware is graded 1, 2 or 3 with grade 1 the highest. Residential hardware carries a letter label for each of the three categories, from C for good through B to A for the top level. Security tests include hammer blows and pulling on the lock; durability covers cycle life and seasonal misalignment; finish covers salt, humidity and scratching. Your locksmith translates the label for your door.
