Problem 02
Key Snapped or Stuck in Lock
Keys snap when the cylinder is worn, corroded, or misaligned — forcing the break before we arrive. We extract the broken half and save the lock where possible.

Problem 03
Door Not Locking or Faulty Lock
Multi-point uPVC mechanisms, misaligned doors, and worn Yale night latches all cause the same headache — the door won't lock properly. We diagnose, adjust or replace the failing component, and test the full cycle before leaving.

Frequently Asked
Your Questions — Answered
Everything we get asked before we arrive.
Do you film every job?
We only film with the customer's permission. We always ask before recording, and we never share anything that identifies the customer, their door, or their street.
Will my video be made public?
Only if you're happy for it to be. We can blur house numbers, skip close-ups of keys, and crop any detail you're not comfortable with. We can also keep a job completely private if you prefer.
Do you cover my area of South London?
Yes — Croydon, Sutton, Wallington, Coulsdon, Purley, Thornton Heath, Norbury, Sanderstead, Kenley, and the surrounding postcodes. See our full Areas We Cover page for every postcode we serve.
Is non-destructive entry always possible?
In most cases, yes — especially with standard Yale night latches and euro cylinder locks. On high-security or anti-pick cylinders we may drill the cylinder only (never the door), and replace the cylinder on the spot so you leave locked up.
