Services
Access Control
Our access control solutions provide advanced security management for commercial and residential properties. Using electronic locking devices from trusted brands, we install systems that control entry points with keypads, proximity readers, or digital access units. These programmable systems eliminate traditional keys while maintaining security for emergency exits and high-risk areas.
Master Key Systems
We design custom master key systems allowing tiered access for different users. Our specialists create configurations where specific keys open individual doors, groups of doors, or entire premises. This high-security approach maintains convenience without compromising protection, with options to upgrade compromised systems by replacing only selected components.
24/7 Emergency Locksmith
Available 365 days a year, our emergency service handles urgent lockouts and security breaches. Trained technicians use non-destructive entry methods to gain access without damaging locks. This service covers broken keys, lost keys, and malfunctioning security systems, with rapid response times across Cambridge and surrounding areas.
Safe Installation
We supply and install insurance-grade safes for home and business use. Our range includes fire-resistant, burglary-protected, and combination lock models from Chubb, Phoenix, and Burton. Installation services ensure proper anchoring and compliance with security standards, with options for safe opening and repair of existing units.
Key Cutting Service
Our in-store key cutting service provides accurate duplicates for standard and security keys. We cut keys for domestic locks, commercial systems, and vehicle immobilisers using precision equipment. This service includes restricted key systems requiring authentication and emergency key replacements during business hours.

Excellent service from start to finish, really good communication skills and all at a reasonable cost. Mr Pool took his time to talk me through my options and even called after the job was complete to make sure everything was perfect.

Used them before for my personal home and they did an excellent job. This time I had to get a new keypad lock fitted for the stockroom at work. Had great service, really reactive in coming out and getting it sorted quickly and all for a fair price.
