Services
24/7 Emergency Lock Opening
We provide round-the-clock assistance for homeowners and caravan owners locked out of their properties. Our technicians can open rim or euro cylinders, stuck UPVC/composite doors, and static caravan locks using non-destructive methods. Customers pay only when we successfully gain entry, with no charges for restricted access attempts.
Lock Replacement
We supply and fit high-security BS kitemarked locks meeting TS007 and SBD standards. Our range includes anti-snap, anti-bump, and anti-drill cylinders with five-year guarantees. We specialise in replacing outdated caravan locks and repairing broken mechanisms using salvaged parts where possible to reduce costs.
UPVC Door Repairs
Our technicians adjust misaligned UPVC doors and repair multi-point locking systems. We replace broken gearboxes and full mechanisms while maintaining compatibility with existing hardware. Emergency overnight locks can be installed temporarily at no extra charge when parts require ordering.
Key Cutting Service
We cut replacement cylinder keys on-site using mobile equipment. Prices decrease with quantity purchases, starting at 7 for single keys and dropping to 4 for bulk orders of 25+. We stock common profiles but cannot cut car keys or dimple-cut designs due to technical limitations.
Security Upgrades
We install security-enhancing products including torchguard plates, lockable sash jammers, and marine-grade padlocks. Our consultants assess vulnerabilities and recommend appropriate upgrades like snap-resistant cylinders or reinforced door hardware to improve property security ratings.

Mr Steve gave us a time to arrive and rang 5 mins before that to tell us he was there. He gave full details of the problem, and what it would need to fix it. He did the job quickly and efficiently and charged the price he had quoted us. We are caravan owners living 2 hours away from the site and so he left one key with our current customers and suggested taking the other one to our site office for safe keeping. Polite. Professional. Punctual. Highly recommended.
