  • uPVC door won't lock. Multipoint mechanism failed — common in edwardian semis and victorian terraces after years of use. Same-day repairs.
  • Lock change after moving in. Standard practice in Croydon rentals and new home purchases. BS3621 insurance-rated locks available on the van.

Frequently Asked Questions — Croydon

  • What services do you offer in Croydon?

    Lockouts, lock changes, uPVC door and window repairs, burglary repairs, key extractions, and security upgrades. Both residential and small commercial work across CR.

  • Do you fit British Standard locks?

    Yes. BS3621 mortice locks and TS007 3-star cylinders are standard fits, which is what most home insurers ask for.

  • Will my insurer accept the work?

    Every job comes with an itemised invoice listing the lock standards and parts used. Most major UK insurers accept these without question.

  • Can you match new locks to one key?

    Yes, multiple cylinders can be keyed alike so one key opens front, back, and side doors. Useful for the older Edwardian semis around Croydon with three or four entry points.

  • Do you do domestic only or commercial too?

    Both. Shop fronts, small offices, and HMOs are regular work, alongside the residential side.

  • What payment methods are accepted?

    Card on the doorstep, contactless, Apple Pay, or bank transfer. Cash also fine if preferred.

  • Are you DBS checked?

    All engineers are DBS checked, fully insured, and ID is shown on arrival. You can call the office to verify the engineer's name before letting them in.
