Emergency lockouts
Stuck outside your home or business? Lockouts go straight to the front of the queue, and we open the door without damaging the lock whenever the mechanism allows.
Learn moreLock repairs
Sticking cylinders, latches that drag, mortice locks that won't throw — we diagnose the true fault and repair where repair makes sense.
Learn moreLock changes & replacement
Lost keys, a new tenancy or after a break-in — we change or rekey locks to restore control over who can access your property.
Learn moreDoor & multipoint repairs
Door only locks if you lift the handle hard? That's usually a worn gearbox or misalignment. We repair and replace multipoint mechanisms.
Learn moreSecurity upgrades
Anti-snap, anti-bump and anti-pick cylinders, plus BS-rated locks — built to meet insurance requirements and to resist modern attack methods.
Learn moreBurglary repairs & boarding
After a break-in, the make-safe comes first — then permanent repairs to the door, frame, locks and any weak point that was exploited.
Learn moreWindows, garages & shutters
Front doors aren't the whole story — we repair window locks, garage locks, roller shutters and security grilles too.
Learn moreCommercial locksmiths
Shops, offices, landlords and HMOs — access control, master-key suites, smart locks and routine lock maintenance.

Locksmith FAQs
Is there a call-out fee for callouts in Forest Gate?
No call-out fee, no hidden charges and no VAT shock at the end — you get a clear price up-front, before any work starts.
Lost keys in Forest Gate — is changing the lock enough?
For most situations, yes. Changing or rekeying the affected cylinders restores control over who can access the property. We'll flag if an anti-snap upgrade is worth doing at the same time.
My uPVC door only locks when I force the handle — what's wrong?
That's usually a failing multipoint gearbox or door misalignment. We can repair or replace the mechanism and realign the door so it locks smoothly again.
Are your locksmiths insured and vetted?
Yes — DBS checks, full public liability insurance and proper credentials across the whole team. Happy to show ID at the door.
Can most lockouts be solved without drilling?
Yes, almost always. Drilling is the last resort: most modern cylinders can be picked or bypassed without damage, which is faster, cheaper and means no new lock afterwards.
How fast can you reach me when I'm locked out?
For emergencies such as lockouts we aim to be with you in around 30 minutes, depending on traffic and where you are in the E postcodes. We answer the phone 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
