What we do

One local locksmith for every lock problem

Lockouts, lock changes, burglary repairs, bedroom door locks, post boxes and window locks - we work with any type of lock, on any door, across Tooting and beyond.

A genuine, local business

Real locksmiths, dispatched from Tooting SW17

We're a genuine local business, not a national call centre or a lead broker selling your job on. Our dispatch point is on Trinity Road, SW17 7HR, and when our locksmith isn't on a job he's driving these streets, which is often why we arrive so quickly.

From the terraces and conversions around Tooting Broadway to the mansion blocks by Tooting Bec Common, our locksmiths work this area every week and carry the locks your door is likely to need, so around 95 per cent of jobs are finished on the first visit.

Common questions

Before you call

How quickly can you get to me in Tooting?

Most jobs across SW17 and the surrounding South West London areas we reach in 20 to 30 minutes from your call, and often faster when the locksmith is already working nearby. We give you a realistic arrival time on the phone rather than promise one we cannot keep.

What does a typical job cost?

We give you a clear, upfront price on the call before the locksmith sets off, so you know the cost before agreeing to any work. Standard cylinder work sits at the lower end; high-security locks, late-evening emergencies and jobs needing replacement parts sit higher.

Do you charge emergency rates?

No, we do not add an emergency premium. Our regular rates apply from 9am to 9pm, whether it is an urgent call-out or a booked appointment. Outside those hours a standard out-of-hours rate applies, as is normal for emergency locksmith work. Either way, we give you a clear price on the phone before we set off.

Will you damage my door or lock?

For most lockouts, no. We attempt non-destructive entry first, so where a door has simply shut behind you, we open it without damage and you keep the same lock and keys. If a lock has genuinely failed and has to be drilled, we fit a quality replacement cylinder on the spot and the door itself is not damaged.

Are you insured and checked?

Yes. Our locksmiths are CRB/DBS checked and carry public liability insurance up to £5 million. They are trained, experienced and regularly attend courses to keep their skills sharp.

Can you fit insurance-approved locks?

Yes. We fit locks that meet British Standards and insurance requirements, including anti-snap cylinders, and we supply trusted brands such as Yale, Chubb, ERA, Union and Legge, with high-security options like Banham, Ingersoll and Mul-T-Lock. We provide the paperwork insurers ask for.

Which areas do you cover?

Tooting is our home patch, and we cover the surrounding South West London areas: Tooting Bec, Balham, Streatham, Mitcham, Colliers Wood, Wimbledon, Wandsworth, Clapham, Earlsfield, Stockwell and Brixton. If you are nearby, call and we will confirm our ETA.

When are you open?

We answer 24 hours a day, Monday to Sunday. Whether it is an early-morning lockout before work or a late one after the last Tube, call 020 3151 7091.

Locked out, lock playing up, or just need a quote?
