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

When you call us about a lockout in Oxford, we send the nearest available locksmith straight to you, and most jobs see us arrive as soon as our nearest engineer can get to you. 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.

The euro cylinders on my composite front and back doors are the originals; should I have them changed for something tougher?

If your cylinder sticks out past the handle, feels loose, or isn't stamped with a security kitemark, it's well worth upgrading before anything goes wrong rather than after. Our locksmiths swap it for an anti-snap, anti-pick and anti-drill cylinder that's correctly sized to your door, and we can key your front and back doors alike so a single key works both. It's a straightforward, tidy improvement that makes a real difference to how well your home stands up to a forced entry.

Will a copy you cut turn as smoothly in the lock as my original, or do duplicates tend to stick?

Every duplicate is cut from your existing key and then tested in the actual lock before we leave, so you're not left wondering whether it will work. Should a copy feel stiff, we adjust it on the spot until it turns as freely as the original. That checking step is exactly why on-site cutting beats a rushed job at a counter.

Do you handle lockouts for landlords or letting agents in Oxford when the tenant isn't around?

For rented homes we normally need either the tenant present or clear written authorisation from the person legally responsible, together with proof of that arrangement. Landlords and agents are very welcome to book us, though we'll ask to see evidence of ownership or management rights before opening anyone's door. Handling it this way keeps each job proper and safeguards everyone connected to the tenancy.

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 Oxford, they'll open up the mechanism, check its condition, and tell you honestly which route makes sense for your situation.

I'm worried about damage — do you actually pick locks open, or is drilling the usual method?

Picking is genuinely the method we prefer and the one we try first on standard cylinders and mortice locks. A skilled locksmith can defeat most mechanisms by feel alone, so the lock keeps working and there is nothing to replace afterwards. Wherever we are called out in Oxford, including the area around Oxford University and Bodleian Library, the engineer will study the door first and choose the gentlest route that gets you safely back inside.
