What professional locksmith work looks like
These are the standards you should expect from any locksmith, and the ones we work to.
Proper identification checks
A professional locksmith confirms you live at an address before opening a door. We check ID or proof of address on every lockout.
The right standards
Locks are chosen to meet BS 3621 or TS007 where insurers expect them, and fitted so they work smoothly for years.
Clear paperwork
Every job ends with an invoice showing the work done and parts fitted, useful for your records and any insurance claim.
The standards behind our work
BS 3621 is the British Standard for thief-resistant locks, usually 5-lever mortice deadlocks and certain night latches. TS007 is the rating system for euro cylinders and door hardware, with 3-star cylinders offering the best resistance to snapping. We explain which applies to your door before fitting anything.
Non-destructive entry is a professional skill. Opening a lock without damage takes training, the right tools and patience. Drilling is quicker but leaves you paying for a new lock, so we only drill when there's genuinely no alternative.
Professionalism also means honesty. If a repair will do the job, we won't sell you a replacement. If a job is outside what we do, we'll tell you and point you in the right direction. See our trusted locksmith page for how we price.
