A faulty lock is a security risk and a daily frustration. Our engineers are experts in diagnosing and repairing all types of lock mechanisms on the spot.

• Commercial Lock Repairs: We service high-grade panic bars, door closers, access control systems, and commercial-grade deadlocks, ensuring your business remains secure and compliant.

Advanced Mobile Key Cutting: All Types, All Brands

Our in-van key cutting machine is the key to our rapid service. It’s not just for standard house keys; we can cut and programme a huge variety of key types.

Common Key Types We Cut:

• Standard Yale & Rim Cylinders: The most common keys for uPVC front doors and old-style night latches.
