Do you have to break my lock or damage the door to get me back inside after losing my keys?

Wherever possible we open the door without harming it, using proper non-destructive methods rather than force. If a lock genuinely has to be drilled to get you in, we explain why first and put a working lock back on there and then, so you are never left with a damaged door and no way to lock up. That means you get back inside and stay secure in the same visit.

After an attempted break-in, what's the fastest way to get a property in Watford safe again before dark?

Call us and we'll treat it as an emergency, sending the nearest locksmith straight to you so the property in Watford is secure well before nightfall. We'll repair or replace the damaged locks, deal with any forced door or frame, and where something can't be fully fixed on the spot we'll board it up so nothing is left open overnight.

Will I need to be there in person when your locksmith arrives in Watford, or can a neighbour let you in?

Yes, we ask that you're on site to meet our locksmith when we reach you in Watford, including the area around Watford Junction and intu Watford, so we can confirm you have a genuine right to be there. It's a simple safeguard that protects homeowners and tenants alike, and it takes only a moment once we arrive. Being present also lets you point out the exact door or lock that's giving you trouble.

Can you cut a spare key for my front door while I wait, or does it have to go away to a shop?

Yes, our locksmiths cut spare keys right there at your door rather than sending anything off to a shop. The van carries the blanks and cutting gear for most common house and door keys, so in the majority of cases you walk away with a working duplicate the same visit. If you're down to a single key, getting a backup cut now saves a much bigger headache later.

The key just spins in my mortice lock and the bolt won't throw anymore — can someone repair it rather than replacing the whole door?

A key that spins without throwing the bolt usually means the mortice lock's internal mechanism has worn or broken — it's the lock that needs attention, not the whole door. We can repair or replace just the mortice lock itself, fitting a fresh five-lever deadlock into the existing pocket so the bolt shoots home firmly again.

My lock still works fine, I just want the previous keys to stop working — do I really need a full replacement?

Absolutely — if the lock is in good shape, our technician can rekey it right there on your doorstep in Watford, including the area around Watford Junction and intu Watford, without stripping the door of its existing fittings. The mechanism is adjusted so only your new keys turn it, and everything else stays exactly as it was. It's a tidy way to regain control of who can get in.
