Select the problem that most closely matches your situation.
If you cannot enter your home, flat or business, we will assess the lock and attempt a suitable non-destructive entry method first wherever its type and condition allow.
Avoid turning or forcing the remaining piece. We can remove the broken key, inspect the lock and explain whether further work is required.
A lock that is difficult to turn, loose or spinning may have an internal fault or an alignment problem. We will identify the cause and explain the available repair or replacement options.
If the handle lifts but the key will not turn, or the door no longer closes correctly, the cylinder, multipoint mechanism or door alignment may require attention.
We can assess damage to the lock, door or frame and explain what is needed to secure the affected entrance. Temporary boarding may be discussed if an immediate permanent repair is not possible.
We work on window locks and provide safe-opening assistance. For a safe that will not open, describe the safe and the access problem when calling so we can confirm whether the required work is within scope.
If you are unsure which locksmith service you need, call 0121 496 0123, describe what has happened and we will help you choose the appropriate service.

Locked out late on a Sunday evening. The locksmith explained the options on the phone, arrived when he said he would and opened the door without damaging the lock.

We use them for lock changes between tenancies across several properties. Clear quotes, a written invoice every time and no surprises on the price.

Our shop door would not lock at closing time. They came out, found the fault in the multipoint mechanism and had it secure the same evening.

After moving home, losing keys or dealing with a break-in, it is worth checking every entrance rather than focusing only on the front door. Different doors may use different lock types, and each one should be assessed separately before deciding what needs repairing or replacing.
A property may have a timber front door, a uPVC or composite back door and patio or bifold doors. Timber doors often use mortice locks, while modern doors commonly use cylinders and multipoint mechanisms. Check whether each door closes, locks and unlocks normally.
A side door connecting a garage to the house, a private gate or an outbuilding may provide another route into the property. We can inspect the existing lock and explain whether repair, replacement or a new installation is suitable.
If a gate or entrance is shared with other properties, confirm who is responsible for it before arranging a lock change.
Ground-floor window locks should also be included in a property-security review. Check that each window closes properly, the lock engages and any available keys can be located. Some insurance policies may specify key-operated window locks, so compare the existing fittings with your own policy wording.
“Insurance approved” is commonly used to describe locks that meet recognised security standards, but insurers set their own requirements. Check the security or minimum-protection section of your policy schedule to see whether it names a standard for external doors or windows.
If the wording is unclear, ask your insurer what is required for your door type before authorising a replacement.
A five-lever mortice lock is not automatically a BS 3621 lock. Five levers describe part of the mechanism, while BS 3621 is a tested standard. A qualifying lock should carry the relevant standard number and certification mark on its faceplate.
Your policy determines whether that standard is required. We can inspect the existing lock and explain the available replacement options, but the insurer decides whether a particular lock satisfies the policy.
Policies may also refer to security ratings for the cylinder or door hardware fitted to a uPVC or composite door. TS 007 and SS312 are standards you may see in policy wording, product markings or supporting paperwork.
Check the exact rating requested by the insurer rather than relying only on the phrase “anti-snap”. No cylinder should be described as preventing every possible method of entry.

Call if you are locked out, a key has snapped or a failed lock leaves the property unsecured. Planned appointments can also be arranged for worn locks, replacement cylinders and security improvements after moving home or losing keys.
