The locks we fit
Quality locks, not cheap imports
Not all locksmiths use the same locks. Some fit cheap unbranded locks that can wear quickly and fail. We do not.
- From proper suppliersEvery lock we fit is bought from reputable, well-established UK locksmith wholesalers.
- British Standard and KitemarkedCylinders carry the BSI Kitemark to TS007, and our mortice deadlocks meet BS 3621, the standard most home insurers ask for.
- Built to lastBranded locks work smoothly for years. Cheap ones can stick, wear and fail, which means another call-out.
- One price, all-inclusiveThe lock, fitting and labour in one price, agreed on the call before we come out.

Becontree: check your cylinder
Many original doors are now uPVC or composite. If yours still has its first euro cylinder, an anti-snap one (TS007 3-star or Sold Secure Diamond) is a quick upgrade.
Barking Riverside: new-build doors
Flat and house doors here are new, and some are fire doors. If your home is still under the builder’s warranty, tell us before we change anything.
Just moved in?
Builders, agents and previous owners may still have keys. Changing the cylinder takes 20 to 40 minutes on most doors.
Units and warehouses
Shutters, roller doors and padlocks on the Dagenham industrial estates, repaired or secured the same night.
