My key has a slightly unusual profile - is that the sort of thing you can still copy, or only standard ones?

In most cases yes — as well as standard keys we can copy many less common and dimpled profiles right at your door, working from your original so the cut matches precisely. If a key is a restricted or patented type that can't simply be duplicated, we'll tell you honestly and explain the proper route to an authorised copy.

How quickly can someone actually get out to me in Dulwich if I'm locked out right now?

When you call us about a lockout in Dulwich, we send the nearest available locksmith straight to you, and most jobs see us arrive within about 20 to 35 minutes. Because our team works across the area rather than from one fixed base, we rarely have far to travel. We'll give you a realistic time on the phone so you're not left guessing.

What can I do to stop my locks seizing up or wearing out over time?

Locks last far longer with a little upkeep: keep the mechanism clean, wipe grit away from the keyway, and use a proper lock lubricant rather than oil or grease, which attracts dirt and gums up the barrel. On uPVC and composite doors, lifting the handle fully to throw the multipoint bolts every time takes the strain off the gearbox and prevents early failure. A quick yearly check of your locks and hinges catches small problems long before they leave you stranded.

We've just picked up the keys to our new place in Dulwich — is it really worth changing the locks straight away?

Moving day really is the best moment to take control of who can get through the door, because there is no reliable way to know how many keys were cut over the years or who ended up with one. Previous owners, letting agents, cleaners, tradespeople and neighbours could all still hold a working key, usually with no ill intent at all. The simplest fix is to either fit fresh locks or rekey the existing ones, so that every old key stops working from the day the place becomes yours.

What's the actual difference between rekeying a lock and fitting a brand new one?

Rekeying alters the internal pins of your existing lock so the old keys no longer fit and you get a fresh set, all while the lock body itself stays on the door. Replacing means removing the whole unit and installing a new one from scratch. When our locksmith reaches you in Dulwich, they'll open up the mechanism, check its condition, and tell you honestly which route makes sense for your situation.

There's been an attempted break-in through my back window and the lock is now damaged, so how soon could someone reach me?

When a lock has been damaged in an attempted break-in, we treat it as urgent and aim to reach you within about 20 to 35 minutes across Dulwich so the property isn't left vulnerable. We'll make the window, garage or outbuilding secure the same visit, either by repairing the existing lock or fitting a replacement on the spot. Where a temporary fix is all that's possible for now, we'll explain clearly what needs doing next.
