About this service
A break-in is upsetting, and your home needs to be secure straight away – before you can sleep or leave the house. We aim to attend quickly, make the entry point safe and replace any locks that were damaged or compromised.
If keys were stolen, we change the locks so those keys are useless. We can also advise on upgrades – anti-snap cylinders, door reinforcement and window locks – to reduce the chance of it happening again.
We can give you details of the work done and the locks fitted to pass on to your insurance company.

SSue HorganVerified customer"Had someone available to sort the lock out within the timeframe specified and the price was notified up front, the locksmith texted to confirm appointment and arrived when he said he would after confirming our address. Problem was solved in a reasonable amount of time and I paid what I was quoted when I telephoned."
