Written price before work starts
ID checked on every lockout
Damage-free entry tried first
What happened?
Pick what’s going on. You’ll see what we do next, in the order we do it.
How a job runs, start to finish.
Four steps, the same on every job. Watch the pins line up as you read.
01
Tell us what’s wrong
Call or send the form. Tell us the door, the lock and where you are. You get a price range and an arrival estimate before anyone drives out.
02
We confirm it’s yours
Before we open anything, we check ID or proof of address. It protects you as much as it protects us.
03
Damage-free first
We pick or bypass the lock wherever we can, so your door, frame and finish stay intact. If drilling is the only way, we explain why first.
04
Written price, then the work
You see the final price in writing before work starts. Pay by card or cash and get your receipt by email.
Homes, businesses and cars.
The same careful hands for a front door, a shopfront or a set of car keys. Choose a type to see what we cover.

Prices are starting points. Your final price is confirmed in writing before any work starts.
The price you approve before we start is the price you pay.
ID on every lockout
We only open doors for people who can show they live or work there.
Damage-free entry first
Picking and bypass come before drilling, every time it’s possible.
Tidy finish
We clean up, take old locks away and test every key with you.
Questions, answered plainly.
If yours isn’t here, call and ask. You’ll speak to a locksmith, not a script.
How quickly can you get to me?
It depends on where you are and the time of day. When you call, we give you an honest arrival estimate and text you when we’re on the way.
Will you damage my door to get in?
Do I need to prove I live there?
Should I rekey or replace my locks?
Can one key open all my doors?
How do I pay?

Tell us about the lock.
