Assessing the gate and weather
Outdoor locks live a harder life. We check the gate alignment, the exposure to rain and freezing, and how it is used before recommending hardware.

We look after the door, not just the lock.
Locksmithing has its own language, full of cylinders, pins, cams and strikes, and none of it helps you make a decision. So we translate. When we say a lock needs rekeying, we explain that the inside gets new pins so the old keys stop working while the outside stays the same. When we recommend a different deadbolt, we show you the difference in your hand. Questions are welcome at every stage, and there are no silly ones. The aim is that you can explain to a partner or a landlord exactly what was done and why, in your own words, without needing us on the phone to fill in the gaps.

Rekeying is the quiet workhorse of what we do. It keeps the lock you already have and simply changes which key operates it, which makes it the sensible answer after a move, a lost set, a tenant change or a contractor who kept a copy.
