Do you pick or drill?
As skilled locksmiths we have several lock picking and bypassing methods to enter a premise and the various tools required and we pride ourselves on our non destructive opening techniques.
Many locksmiths have neither the tools or expertise to facilitate an entry by means of lock picking.
This is why so many so-called “locksmiths” turn up at your door with a drill in their hand. They have neither the skills, tools nor dedication to learn to pick your locks open. They can also charge you for a new lock, even if your keys are still inside!
We will always aim to pick your lock, thereby saving you the expense of having a new lock fitted, when you have a perfectly adequate one already on your door and the keys for it in your house.

I am moving into a new house and need all the locks changed.
We offer big discounts when changing the locks throughout a property. Many home movers in the UK never change the locks to their new property. Without knowing who has the keys to your property is a major risk. Even new build properties have the keys given out to many different builders, tradesman and agents.
