My emergency has happened late in the evening — will someone come out tonight rather than tomorrow?

Once you've told us where you are and what's gone wrong, we send someone straight out rather than booking you in for another day. For most jobs across Chelsea you can expect a locksmith to reach you within about 15 to 25 minutes, whatever the hour. Late evenings, early mornings and everything in between are all part of the normal service.

How can I tell whether the lock fitted to my door is a genuine BS3621 British Standard one?

A genuine BS3621 lock carries the British Standard kitemark, usually stamped on the faceplate or the body of the lock itself, and it's the mark most UK home insurers look for. When we visit you in Chelsea, including the area around Chelsea FC and King's Road, we'll examine each door lock, point out exactly what's fitted, and tell you plainly whether it meets that standard. If anything falls short, we'll explain what would bring it up to scratch so you're not left guessing.

I've locked myself out of my house in Chelsea and my keys are inside — can you get me back in?

Being shut out of your own home is horrible, but it's one of the most routine jobs we handle. A local locksmith heads straight to you in Chelsea, including the area around Chelsea FC and King's Road, and, in the vast majority of cases, opens the door using non-destructive techniques that leave your lock working exactly as before. Once you're back inside, you can relax knowing nothing has been damaged.

I'm worried the trapped fragment has knocked the mechanism about. Once the broken piece is out, will you be able to check whether the lock still turns properly?

Once the broken piece is out we always test the lock thoroughly before leaving, turning it several times to be sure nothing inside has been knocked out of true. If the fragment has worn or bent the mechanism we'll tell you plainly and sort a repair or replacement, so you're not left with a lock that fails again a few days later.

My front door lock is one of those long euro cylinders — how do I stop someone snapping it to get in?

Lock snapping targets the standard euro cylinder found in most uPVC and composite doors, where an intruder cracks the barrel to release the mechanism. We fit anti-snap cylinders built with sacrificial sections that break away harmlessly and leave the working core intact, so the door stays locked. Many of the upgrades we carry are British Standard and Sold Secure rated, which is the level of protection insurers tend to look for.

Can you keep my current door hardware and just change what the old keys open, or does the whole lock have to come off?

Yes — if the lock is sound we keep all your existing door hardware in place and simply rekey it, changing the internal pins so the old keys no longer turn. The whole lock doesn't need to come off; you keep the fittings you already have and walk away with a new set of keys that only you hold.
