Hi, I am looking for an experienced handyman or locksmith to install a lock on my door so that I can securely lock it with a key. I would like the new handle/lock style to match the existing one as closely as possible for a clean and professional finish. My door is in good condition, so I am specifically looking for someone who is skilled, detail-oriented, and experienced with this type of work, as I want to avoid any damage to the door during installation. Please only apply if you have experience with door lock installation and can work carefully and professionally. Photos of similar work are appreciated.

Lock Installation

Teddington, Greater London, TW11

9th May 2026

Hi there, I am looking for a locksmith to work on three different doors in my home: 1. Front Door (Mortice to Euro Conversion): I am replacing an old mortice lock with a Euro cylinder sashlock. I already have the cylinder (Yale 3-Star, 35/35), so I only need you to provide the Euro Sashlock case and the labour for installation. The Challenge: The existing mortice pocket is chiselled for a 170mm x 25mm faceplate. Modern cases I’ve tried sit too deep in the pocket or leave height gaps. I need a locksmith to provide a suitable lock case (76mm/3-inch) and ensure it is packed/installed flush and secure. 2. Internal Door (Deadbolt Installation): I have purchased a deadbolt for an internal door but lack the tools for a fresh installation. 3. Sliding Doors (New Keyed Locks): I have two sliding doors that currently lack locks. I need you to supply and install keyed locking mechanisms for both. Please let me know which styles you recommend for maximum security. I can provide photos of all three doors upon request. Open to discussions on cost of the job however, know that I am also reaching out to locksmiths in my area therefore quotes need to be competitive. Thanks,

New lock installed in door

£150

Collier's Wood, Greater London, SW19

30th Apr 2026

Wooden exterior door with a mortice lock that has been poorly installed. The lock is misaligned with the frame, the key is stiff to turn, and it often doesn’t engage properly. Likely requires repositioning or replacing the mortice lock, adjusting the strike plate, and filling previous fixing holes for a secure, properly aligned fit. Please quote for repair vs replacement (including a BS3621 lock if needed). Can update with photos tomorrow. Thanks for great offers, here are the photos which show detail of the door.

Nasser was knowledgeable about what was needed for the job, worked cleanly & efficiently doing extra elements to make sure the door closing worked smoothly. Extremely happy to have booked him.

Barking, Greater London

I need someone experienced with smart/electronic door locks to inspect and fix a newly installed Splenssy / Tuya smart door lock at my property in IG11 today. The lock has already been installed, but the door is unlocking when it should stay locked, so I need someone who understands both the mechanical fitting and the smart lock setup/configuration to properly diagnose and fix the issue. Please only respond if you have experience with: • smart keypad / fingerprint door locks • lock alignment / fitting issues • latch or deadbolt problems • Tuya-style smart lock setup if needed Please bring your own tools.

Jake was very helpful, provided high quality service. Would definitely recommend and hire again.

Replace door lock/latches and fill old keyholes

£400

Peckham, Greater London, SE15

7th Apr 2026

I require the following jobs done at a terrace house in Peckham Rye: 1. Front door: replace the existing main door dead/mortice lock with a lock that can be opened from the inside without use of a key, i.e. thumb turn. Ideally, please provide 1 key per tenant, plus 1 spare for the agent = total of 5 keys. If you cannot do this, please let me know how many keys you can provide and I will arrange with the tenants to organise additional copies. 2. Bedrooms: neatly fill all bedroom door keyholes with a solid filler to ensure that the locks are rendered permanently inoperable. There are 3 bedrooms but I don't recall if they all have keyholes, there might just be two. 3. Bathrooms: remove the latches on the upstairs and downstairs bathroom doors and add a privacy lock which can be operated by thumb-turn mechanism alone. There are 2 bathrooms with one door each. I have photos of some but not all the doors in question (apologies for the poor quality one, this is a screenshot from a video I took of the middle bedroom). EDIT: I would need you to provide all materials. You will need to coordinate with the tenants for access at a mutually convenient time. I will put you in touch once the job is allocated.

Kevin was fantastic! Fairly priced, a good communicator, prompt and efficient with the job and highly skilled. Thank you Kevin!

Smart Home Lock Installation

£200

London, Greater London, EC2V

9th Dec 2025

I have two things that need to be installed at my home... A smart lock on my front door to directly replace the existing lock: https://yalehome.co.uk/keyless-nightlatch-accesskit-black/ (The existing lock is an ERA mortice deadlock- I can send picture if needed). And this battery powered intercom system to connect to my existing entry phone (it's fully compatible as per rings website): https://en-uk.ring.com/products/intercom Each has quite clear installation instructions. The Ring intercom has simple wiring instructions.

He did a good job installing locks with no fuss. Thanks very much.
