Thank you for fixing the door handle.

Install a room door handle

Ibrahim did a great job. Although he couldn’t be 100 satisfied after finishing the job, this is not due to his effort. He worked really hard to finish the work to a high standard but unfortunately the quality of lock (provided by me) wasn’t very good. However, he still made me happy at the end. Good guy and highly recommended.

London locksmiths can help with any situation, be it helping you regain access to your property or upgrading your home security. Their services include lock picking, replacement, or repair.  

With crime being a common problem in London, you may want to increase your home’s security against potential intruders. To do so, you need a qualified locksmith to fit new locks and improve your lock system. If burglars have broken out your door lock, an emergency locksmith can fix that up quickly as well.  

Aside from locksmith services, we also connect you to door frame fitters if you’d rather replace your entire door to match the new locks. In the unfortunate event of a burglary, a tradesman may also repair your broken windows. For good measure, you can install a security camera to your home or dash cam to your vehicle for your extra peace of mind.  

You can get all this done within our platform for as little time and effort as possible. Booking locksmith services is so simple you could be sipping coffee at Costa Coffee or strolling along Hyde Park while you go through the booking process.

What does locksmithing include?

While they’re great in emergencies, you can call on a locksmith to help with other lock-related challenges, too. Here’s you can expect when you hire a locksmith for different tasks:

Emergency locksmith

Emergency locksmiths are available at short notice and often work outside standard trading hours. Ideally, you want to find a locksmith near you so they can get to you quickly and keep your lockout time to a minimum. An emergency locksmith will first try to pick your locks and deadbolts to get you back into your home. But if this doesn’t work, they’ll have the right tools to drill the lock and immediately install a new one to keep your home secure.

Auto locksmith

If you break or lose your car key, or lock it inside your car, you can hire an automotive locksmith. They can unlock your car to retrieve your keys or replace your lock and key with a new one. Auto locksmiths can also help with fitting car locks, fixing car door handles, and replacing ignition barrels.

Lock repair

Locks don’t last forever. Wear and tear can make them stick or even break. A locksmith can help with lock repairon your front door, car door, garage door, mailbox, bathroom/bedroom, and even your windows and sliding doors. They’ll either fix and realign the broken lock or if it’s beyond fixing, they’ll replace it with a new one.  

Lock installation

If you’ve got a new door, a broken lock, or you’re not confident your current security system is secure, you might need a new lock installed. This is a smart idea if you’ve lost track who has access or a copy of your keys. Find a locksmith near you to install a new or upgraded lock so you can be confident it’s done properly. When you post your task, be sure to specify what type of lock you need fitted, whether you have the lock already, or if you need the locksmith to provide materials.

For as long as I can remember, it is a very difficult challenge placing my keys into the lock of our front door in order to open the door. It requires a lot of force trying to push the key fully into the keyhole in order to be able to open the door. This also creates a lot of noise that is very frustrating if someone is trying to enter the house early morning or late evenings. Keys are meant to go in very smoothly and without noise. Please advise.
