Questions we're asked most
Do you charge a call-out fee?
No. We give a fixed quote over the phone before anyone travels to you, and there's no charge just for attending.
How fast can you reach EC1, EC2, EC3 or EC4?
Our engineers are based in the City of London, so most call-outs in these postcodes are reached within the hour, day or night.
Are your locksmiths certified and insured?
Yes. Every engineer is trained, vetted and covered by full public liability insurance, and our lock replacements meet current British Standard requirements for insurers.
Can you open a door without damaging it?
In most cases, yes — non-destructive entry is always tried first. If the lock has failed and needs replacing, we'll quote for that before doing any work.
Do you work on UPVC and composite doors?
Yes, including multi-point locking gearboxes, hinges and handles on both UPVC and composite doors.
I've lost all my keys — can you still help?
Yes. We can gain entry without the original keys, then change the lock on the spot so the old keys stop working.
Do you guarantee your work?
Yes, every job is backed by our workmanship guarantee, and all parts we fit are covered by their manufacturer's warranty.
Can you attend a commercial property out of hours?
Yes. We cover offices, shops and warehouses across EC1–EC4 outside normal business hours, including weekends and bank holidays.
How do I pay for the work?
Payment is taken once the job is complete and you're happy with it. We'll confirm your options when you call.
Do I need to be at the property while you work?
For most jobs, yes, so we can confirm the work with you on the spot. Landlords and letting agents can also arrange access separately — just let us know when you call.
