Locksmith in London
Describe the type of door, the lock and what has gone wrong. Photos may help us understand the issue. Do not share access codes or keys in the enquiry.
The repair method, parts and site access depend on the lock and door. We will check the scope and suitable trade cover before quoting or booking.
Describe the door and access problem
A key that turns without opening the door, a latch that will not engage and a door that has dropped may have different causes. Tell us whether the door is timber, metal or uPVC, whether it is an entrance or internal door, and whether you are locked out or can still secure the property.
Photos of the outside of the door, handle and visible lock can help us assess an enquiry. Do not send keys, access codes, alarm details or photographs showing how to bypass security. We will check whether a suitable specialist can assess the work before discussing a visit.
When security or personal safety comes first
If a door cannot be secured, explain the situation and whether anyone is stranded inside or outside. For immediate danger to a person, contact the emergency services rather than waiting for a trade enquiry. Avoid forcing a damaged door or lock, which can worsen the problem or cause injury.
If damage followed a break-in, preserve the scene and contact the police when appropriate. Photos taken safely can help explain the visible damage. We cannot promise emergency locksmith attendance or a particular repair; we must first confirm specialist scope and availability.
Assessing repair, adjustment or replacement
A stiff door may involve hinges, alignment, handle hardware or the lock itself. A specialist would need to inspect the door and fittings before advising whether an adjustment, part replacement or a broader door repair is suitable. Describing the symptom does not establish which part has failed.
Let us know if the door is part of a communal entrance, a fire door or a rented property, as permissions and specifications may matter. The required parts, access and any security standard need to be checked before a quote. No lock type or repair outcome is promised from the initial enquiry.
What to send before a quote
Send the postcode, door material, visible hardware and a short description of what happens when you try to open or secure it. Tell us whether the property is occupied and whether permission from a landlord or managing agent is needed. Share photos only if you can take them safely.
We will review the request and confirm whether suitable specialist cover exists for the specific job. If it does, the specialist can explain the inspection, any parts and the proposed price before work is agreed. This page is an enquiry route, not a guarantee of locksmith repair or appointment times.

Frequently asked questions
Can you help with my lock?
Send us the door and lock details. We will check the scope and confirm whether a suitable specialist is available.
Can I enquire about a door that will not latch?
Yes. Tell us the door material, what happens when it closes and whether it can currently be secured. We will check whether a suitable specialist can assess it.
Should I send a photo of my keys?
No. Do not send keys, access codes or other security details. A photo of the visible door and lock hardware is more useful for an initial enquiry.
Can you attend after a break-in?
Contact the police as appropriate and make sure everyone is safe. Send the visible damage details; we must confirm specialist availability and scope before any visit can be agreed.
What about a communal or fire door?
Tell us who manages the door and what permission is required. Its specification may limit the work; specialist suitability must be checked first.
Can a stiff lock be repaired without replacing it?
Possibly, but stiffness can come from the lock, handle or door alignment. A specialist would need to assess it before recommending work or quoting.
