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
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
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
Break-ins get make-safe done immediately, followed by permanent repairs to the door, frame, locks and any weakness that was exploited.
Learn moreWindows, garages & shutters
Beyond front doors: window locks, garage locks, roller shutters and security grilles all get the same treatment.
Learn moreCommercial locksmiths
From shopfronts and offices to landlords and HMOs — access control, master-key suites, smart locks and maintenance contracts.
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 working hours vs evening, night or weekend callouts.
- Parts required. Standard cylinders and parts vs anti-snap or BS-rated upgrade hardware.
- 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:
- 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
What's your typical response time?
Most emergency callouts in the EC postcodes we attend in under 30 minutes. We answer the phone 24 hours a day, every day of the year, and there's always an engineer on shift.
Why does my uPVC door only lock if I lift the handle hard?
It's a classic sign that the multipoint mechanism is worn or that the door has dropped slightly on the hinges. We diagnose which on the spot and either swap the gearbox or re-align the hinges and keep plates.
If I'm locked out in Hoxton, will the lock need to be drilled?
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.
Is there a call-out fee?
No. There's no call-out fee and no VAT surprises — you get a clear price before any work begins.
After losing my keys, do I need a full lock change?
Often yes — changing or rekeying the affected locks restores control. We'll advise if a security upgrade is worthwhile at the same time.
Are your Hoxton locksmiths DBS-checked and properly 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.
