Balham Locksmith

A Tooting locksmith a stone’s throw from Balham

Balham sits directly between our Trinity Road dispatch point and the commons, so SW12 is one of the quickest areas we serve. Whether you are outside a flat on Balham High Road or a terrace towards Hyde Farm, we aim to be with you within 20 to 30 minutes of your call to 020 3151 7091, with the price agreed before we set off.

Locks for how Balham actually lives

Much of Balham is shared: converted maisonettes, flats above the High Road, and big Edwardian houses split between housemates. That shapes the work we do here.

• Bedroom door locks. In flatshares and HMOs a proper bedroom lock protects your belongings and your privacy, and for landlords it is often part of HMO licensing. We fit key-operated, thumb-turn and mechanical digital locks cleanly to any door.
• Lock changes between tenants. When a housemate moves on or keys go astray, changing the cylinder is quick and inexpensive, and it means old keys stop working immediately.
• Communal front doors. Shared entrances take a beating. We repair and replace communal door locks and closers so the whole building stays secure.

Du Cane Court alone holds hundreds of art deco flats, and the mansion blocks along Balham Park Road bring the same mix of flat doors, communal entrances and post boxes. We open and replace post box locks too, a small job that saves a lot of aggravation.

Emergencies, day and evening

Locked out after getting off the Northern line? Key snapped in the door after a night on Bedford Hill? We answer 24 hours a day, seven days a week, and gain entry without damage wherever possible. If a lock has failed or a break-in has damaged your door, we repair, replace and board up on the same visit; the van carries locks from Yale, ERA, Union, Chubb and other trusted brands, so around 95 per cent of jobs are done first time.

All work carries a 12-month warranty on parts and workmanship, and our locksmiths are DBS/CRB checked and insured up to £5 million.
