Before I let someone into my home, how can I be sure the person turning up is a genuine, trustworthy engineer?

We understand that letting a stranger into your home takes trust, which is why our engineers are DBS-checked, wear or carry clear identification, and go through careful vetting before they join us. If anything ever feels off, you're well within your rights to check that ID first and only let them in once you're comfortable.

Can a snapped key usually be removed cleanly, or does the extraction tend to leave the lock damaged afterwards?

Removal is usually clean and non-destructive, because we tackle the fragment methodically with dedicated kit such as spiral pullers and slim probe tools rather than reaching for a drill. Drilling is treated as an absolute last resort, and we always try to save your existing lock first. Once the piece is out we test the action thoroughly before we leave.

My front door lock has gone really stiff and I have to fight with the key to turn it — can that be fixed, or does the whole thing need swapping out?

A stiff or sticking lock is one of the most common faults we're called to, and it can usually be traced to worn internal parts, a door that has dropped out of alignment, or a mechanism that has dried out over time. Wherever we can, our locksmiths will service and repair the existing lock rather than replace it, restoring smooth operation without disturbing your door. We carry the tools and spares to sort most of these on the first visit anywhere in Oxford, and we can usually reach you as soon as our nearest engineer can get to you.

When would a lock have to be drilled out, and is that really only a last resort for your engineers?

Drilling only comes into play in the rare cases where a lock is already snapped, seized, or a high-security model that leaves no gentler way in. Even then it's the very last option, tried only once picking and manipulation have been exhausted, and we always explain why first. Whenever a lock does have to be drilled we fit a working replacement there and then, so you're never left insecure.

We've just moved into a place in Oxford and want a couple of extra sets cut for the family - is that something you handle?

We can cut several sets in one appointment, which is handy for a new household in Oxford where everyone needs their own key. It's worth thinking about how many people genuinely need access before we start, since fewer floating copies means better control over who can get in. Once you've decided, each key is cut and checked in the lock while we're with you.

I've just moved into a place in Oxford and I'm not sure whether to rekey the existing locks or swap them out completely — what would you suggest?

Rekeying is usually the sensible choice when the lock is sound, working smoothly and simply needs the keys reset — for instance after a house move or a lost set. It's quicker and leaves your familiar hardware in place. If, on the other hand, the mechanism is worn, stiff or outdated, that's when replacing the whole thing tends to be the wiser move.
