We work from fully stocked vans, which means we come to you — to your front door, your workplace, or wherever you have been locked out — and we carry out the work on the spot, without you needing to bring anything to us or wait for parts to be ordered. Whether you need help at 2am or 2pm, on a weekday or a bank holiday, we answer the phone and we send someone out.

This page tells you plainly who we are, how we work, and what you can expect when you call us on 020 3725 7665. We think the most useful thing we can do here is give you a clear picture of a real job from start to finish, explain the values that guide every decision we make on site, and be honest about what we do and do not offer. If that gives you enough confidence to call us, we are ready to help.

Frequently asked questions
How quickly can you get to me if I am locked out in Rainham?+
We send a locksmith straight away when you call, and we are usually with you in about 30 minutes. We cannot guarantee an exact time because road conditions vary, but we will give you a realistic picture of where we are and when to expect us. We cover Rainham and the surrounding postcodes including RM13, RM12, and RM9, which means we are not travelling long distances to reach you.
How is the price worked out, and will it change once you arrive?+
The price depends on several factors: the type of lock and door involved, whether replacement parts are needed, the time of day, and the distance we are travelling to you. We take all of that into account and give you a fixed quote on the phone before we set off. That is the price you pay — we do not add charges once we arrive. If we find something genuinely unexpected on site that changes the scope of work, we will explain it and ask for your agreement before we continue.
Can you change a lock on a uPVC door, and do you carry the parts with you?+
Yes. uPVC door lock repair and cylinder replacement are among the most common jobs we handle in Rainham and the surrounding area. We carry euro cylinders, multipoint lock components, and door furniture in our vans, so in most cases we can complete a uPVC door lock repair or a full cylinder change in a single visit. When you call, describe the door and lock as best you can and we will confirm whether we have the right parts available.
Do you work for landlords and letting agents as well as homeowners?+
Yes. We work with landlords, letting agents, and housing associations across Rainham, Hornchurch, Dagenham, and the surrounding area. Common requests include lock changes at the end of a tenancy, emergency access to a vacant property, and cylinder upgrades on rented flats and houses. We ask for appropriate documentation before carrying out work on a property where the person calling is not the occupant, so having tenancy agreements or proof of ownership available is helpful.
What should I do if my lock has been damaged in a break-in attempt?+
If you have had a break-in or a break-in attempt, the first thing to do is ensure you are safe and, if a crime has taken place, report it to the police by calling 101 (or 999 if it is an emergency in progress). Once that is dealt with, call us on 020 3725 7665 and we will come out and assess the damage. We handle door lock replacement Rainham residents need after a break-in, including fitting anti-snap cylinders and BS3621-rated mortice deadlocks where the existing lock has been compromised. We will advise on what is needed to make the door properly secure again.
