Locked out at home or work? Lockouts are top priority, and we use non-destructive entry wherever possible so the lock stays intact.
Learn moreLock repairs
Sticking cylinders, latches that drag, mortice locks that won't throw — we diagnose the true fault and repair where repair makes sense.
Learn moreLock changes & replacement
New tenancy, lost keys or aftermath of a break-in — we change or rekey the locks so only the right people have access.
Learn moreDoor & multipoint repairs
Door only locks if you lift the handle hard? That's usually a worn gearbox or misalignment. We repair and replace multipoint mechanisms.
Learn moreSecurity upgrades
Cylinders rated against snap, bump and pick attacks, alongside BS-grade locks that satisfy insurers and stand up to today's break-in techniques.
Learn moreBurglary repairs & boarding
Break-ins get make-safe done immediately, followed by permanent repairs to the door, frame, locks and any weakness that was exploited.
Learn moreWindows, garages & shutters
Front doors aren't the whole story — we repair window locks, garage locks, roller shutters and security grilles too.

From shopfronts and offices to landlords and HMOs — access control, master-key suites, smart locks and maintenance contracts.

Locksmith FAQs
My uPVC door only locks when I force the handle — what's wrong?
It's a classic sign that the multipoint mechanism is worn or that the door has dropped slightly on the hinges. We diagnose which on the spot and either swap the gearbox or re-align the hinges and keep plates.
Are your Hornsey locksmiths DBS-checked and properly vetted?
Yes. Our engineers are DBS-checked and the work is fully insured, with full credentials behind it.
Do you charge a call-out fee?
No call-out fee, no hidden charges and no VAT shock at the end — you get a clear price up-front, before any work starts.
If I'm locked out in Hornsey, will the lock need to be drilled?
Yes — in most cases we can gain entry using non-destructive techniques, so your lock is undamaged and doesn't need replacing.
How fast can you reach me when I'm locked out?
Most emergency callouts in the N postcodes we attend in under 30 minutes. We answer the phone 24 hours a day, every day of the year, and there's always an engineer on shift.
Is a lock change enough after I've lost my keys?
For most situations, yes. Changing or rekeying the affected cylinders restores control over who can access the property. We'll flag if an anti-snap upgrade is worth doing at the same time.
