Locksmith services in Vermont Square
- Lock repair: loose handles, sticking cylinders and latches that don't catch can often be repaired rather than replaced.
- Master keys: landlords and businesses can have one key that opens every door while tenants or staff carry keys for their own.
- Car keys: we cut regular and laser keys and program many transponder keys and remote fobs on site.
- Smart locks: we install and set up keypad and app-controlled locks, keeping a key override where the model allows.
- Broken keys: a snapped key can be extracted from a door lock or ignition and a new key cut to replace it.

What happens when you call
For lockouts we check ID or proof of residence. If your ID is inside, we can usually confirm it once the door is open.
If you're calling for a lockout, tell us whether a child, pet or running vehicle is involved so we can prioritise where possible.
Landlords and managers can book ahead; we'll meet you or your agent at the property at the agreed time.
Security tips
- Ask for an invoice after any lock work; it helps with insurance claims.
- Photograph the key code stamped on new locks and store it somewhere safe.
- Keep a spare car key at home; replacing a lost only-key costs more than making a duplicate.
- A sticking lock usually needs dry lubricant like graphite, not oil, which collects grit.
