Your local locksmith in Stratford and across East London
For over eight years, E20 Locksmiths has helped people across East London get back inside, keep their homes secure and look after their businesses. We're based in Stratford, at the centre of the area we cover, which means short journeys to Hackney, Walthamstow, Bow, Canary Wharf and everywhere in between.
East London's buildings are as varied as its people. In a single day we might fit a BS 3621 deadlock to a Georgian door in Spitalfields, repair a uPVC gearbox in Beckton and open a fire-rated apartment door in East Village. Our locksmiths carry the parts for all of them, so most problems are solved on the first visit.
Every job follows the same simple approach: you get a fixed price before we travel, we try non-destructive methods first, we fit locks that meet British Standards, and we test everything with you before we leave. See all our locksmith services or check our coverage areas.

Frequently asked questions
Are you a local locksmith?
Yes. E20 Locksmiths is based in Stratford, E20, and our team works across East London every day. We aren't a national call centre passing jobs on.
How quickly can a locksmith get to me?
We aim to reach most addresses in our area within around 30 minutes. When you call, we'll give you an honest arrival estimate based on where you are and the traffic.
How much will it cost?
Prices depend on the lock and the work involved. Before a locksmith sets off, we agree a fixed price with you, and that's what you pay.
Do you open doors without damaging them?
In most cases, yes. Our locksmiths use non-destructive entry first. Drilling is only used when there's no alternative, and we explain why beforehand.

We cover East London postcodes E1 to E18 and E20, including Stratford, Hackney, Walthamstow, Canary Wharf and the Olympic Park. Our coverage page lists every area.
Will the locks you fit satisfy my insurer?
We fit locks to BS 3621 and TS007 standards, which most UK home insurance policies refer to. Always check your own policy wording.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We handle tenancy lock changes, communal doors and commercial locks, and can invoice agents and companies directly.
Can I get a quote before you come out?
Yes. Call us, or send a photo of the lock on WhatsApp, and we'll give you a fixed price for the job.
What should I do after a break-in?
