We Started Because South London Deserved Better
Back in 2014, the South London locksmith market was full of call-centre operations. Companies with flashy websites, no local engineers, and a habit of quoting one price on the phone and charging triple on the doorstep.
We set up to do the opposite. One local van, one qualified engineer, one fixed price. No middlemen. No call-out fee. No upselling on the doorstep. We would tell you what the job cost before we started, then get it done properly.
Ten years later that approach still drives everything we do. We have grown, there are more vans and more engineers, but the same rules apply to every job. Show up on time, give a real price, do the work right, and back it with a 12-month guarantee.
We are Level 3 City & Guilds qualified, the professional standard for UK locksmiths, DBS-checked, and fully insured. Every engineer on the road carries their qualification card and DBS certificate on the job; you are welcome to check them on arrival.
We have earned 155 verified 5-star Google reviews because we treat every job the same way, from a routine lock change in Sutton to a 2am lockout in Brixton.
How We Work
Four principles that have not changed since day one.
-
Fixed Price FirstYou get the full price before we start. It does not go up once work begins.
-
30-Minute ResponseWe are based in South London, not routed from a call centre elsewhere.
-
Qualified Engineers OnlyLevel 3 City & Guilds on every van, no unqualified sub-contractors.
-
12-Month GuaranteeAny fault with parts or workmanship. We return and fix it at no charge.
Credentials You Can Check on the Doorstep
We carry physical proof of every qualification on every job. Ask to see them — a legitimate locksmith will always show you without hesitation.
The UK's professional standard for locksmiths. Level 3 covers physical security, lock mechanisms, access control and industry law. Every engineer on our team holds this qualification.
UK Professional StandardEvery engineer has passed a Disclosure and Barring Service check. We work in people's homes and commercial premises — background checks are not optional.
Enhanced DBSWe carry full public liability insurance covering every job we attend. If something unexpected happens on site, you are protected — and so are we.
Public Liability CoverAll lock installations and repair work carry a 12-month parts and labour guarantee. If anything fails inside that window, we come back and fix it free of charge.
Parts & LabourWe operate every day of the year including bank holidays. The same qualified engineers attend out-of-hours calls — there is no reduction in the standard of work overnight.
365 Days a YearWe do not charge to turn up. The price you agree before we start is the price on the invoice. There is no fee added after the job for fuel, mileage or anything else.
Zero Hidden CostsThe Jobs We Cover Across South London
Locked out of your home or office. We open the door without damaging the frame, the lock, or your property.
We replace worn or compromised cylinders with British Standard or anti-snap locks, meeting your insurance requirements.
Cylinder snapping is the most common forced entry method in South London. We fit TS007 3-star rated cylinders that resist it directly.
Multipoint lock failures, dropped doors, misaligned mechanisms. We diagnose and repair uPVC and composite doors without replacing the whole unit.
A key snapped inside the barrel. We extract the fragment cleanly, check the mechanism, and cut a replacement on the spot.
Offices, shops and landlord properties. We handle master key systems, high-security deadlocks and access control upgrades.
155 Five-Star Reviews on Google
Every review is from a real job. No invitations to review sent until the work is completed and the customer is happy.
"I needed to know this was a legitimate company before I let anyone near my locks. The engineer brought his City & Guilds card and DBS certificate without being asked. Changed all three locks in the house and talked me through the difference between the old cylinders and the new ones. That kind of transparency is hard to find."
"Used them for our office in Sutton after a staff member lost their keys. They rekeyed the locks same day, gave a written quote before starting, and the invoice matched exactly. We have used them twice since — once for a jammed door and once for a full lock upgrade. Reliable and no nonsense."
"I had read a lot about rogue locksmiths before calling anyone. These guys were upfront on the phone — gave me a price range straight away and confirmed it in person before touching anything. Turned up in 20 minutes to Kenley, sorted the lock quickly. Exactly what a local locksmith should be."
