Trusted Locksmith Near You in the West Midlands

Yes, and ideally on moving day. You cannot know how many copies of the old keys exist or who holds them; previous owners, estate agents, tradespeople and former tenants may all have had access. A lock change on each external door is a quick, affordable job, usually around 20 minutes per door, and gives immediate peace of mind. We can attend on the day you move in and advise whether a like-for-like cylinder is sufficient or whether upgrading to anti-snap cylinders would improve your security.

See our price guide for typical lock change costs.

Both. Many faults can be repaired rather than replaced, which keeps the cost down. Our lock repair service covers stiff or seized cylinders, handles that need lifting hard before the key will turn, doors that have dropped and no longer latch, and uPVC multipoint locking mechanisms that have failed internally. Where a lock is worn, damaged or no longer insurance compliant we will say so and fit a British Standard replacement. Our guide to common uPVC lock faults explains the warning signs, and every part we fit carries a 12-month guarantee.

Most home insurance policies require exterior doors to have a BS 3621 five-lever mortice deadlock, a key-operated multi-point locking system, or a night latch used alongside one of the other two. Night latches alone are rarely accepted. On uPVC, composite and aluminium doors we also recommend upgrading the Euro cylinder to a TS007 3-star anti-snap cylinder, because a standard cylinder can be snapped in seconds with basic tools, disabling every locking point at once. All locks we supply carry the British Standard mark and we confirm insurance compliance before recommending anything.

Ask us to check your existing locks.

Yes.

Yes. We replace and repair window locks on all uPVC and wooden windows, and carry a stock of door and window handles in most standard sizes, shapes and colours for both uPVC and timber frames. The majority of handle replacements and window lock repairs are completed in a single visit. Whether the issue is a break-in, wear and tear or a handle that has failed, we assess on arrival and quote before any work begins. All replacement parts meet current British Standards.

Your priority is safety. Do not enter the property until you know it is safe to do so. Call 999 if the intruder may still be on the premises, or 101 to report the burglary to West Midlands Police. Try not to disturb the scene before the police attend, as this may affect evidence collection. Once the police have attended, our Burglary Repairs team can secure the property and repair or replace any damaged locks.

Locksmith costs vary depending on the job. A standard cylinder replacement typically costs less than more complex work, such as a multi-point mechanism repair or burglary securing. We provide a free estimated quote before attending wherever possible, and our pricing is fully transparent with no hidden call-out fees. Payment is by cash or credit or debit card on completion. Every part we fit is backed by our 12-month parts guarantee.
