What kind of jobs do you cover in Glasgow?

Lockouts, lock changes, broken keys, burglary repairs, uPVC and composite door faults, key cutting on the doorstep, and security upgrades to BS3621 standard. Domestic and commercial.

Are your engineers DBS-checked and insured?

Yes. Every engineer is DBS-checked, carries £2 million public liability cover, and works under our Glasgow trading address. We can show paperwork on request before we start a job.

Can you work on the older sandstone tenement doors?

Yes, we deal with Victorian tenement doors regularly across the West End, Southside and the Northwest. Original mortice locks, modern euro cylinders retrofitted into old doors, close door entry systems, all standard work for our engineers.

Do you cut keys on site?

Vans carry blanks for the common cylinder and mortice profiles, so most keys are cut on the doorstep. For restricted or high-security keys we order from the manufacturer and post them out within a few days.

What's the difference between a 3-lever and 5-lever mortice lock?

A 5-lever lock to BS3621 is the insurance standard for external timber doors in the UK. A 3-lever is rated for internal use only. If your home insurance specifies BS3621 and you have a 3-lever fitted, you may not be covered after a break-in.

Do you work with letting agents and landlords?

Yes, regular work with several Glasgow agencies. We can do mid-tenancy lock changes, end-of-tenancy rekeys, full HMO compliance checks, and invoice direct to the agency on account.

Card on the doorstep using the tap reader, bank transfer, or cash. VAT receipt emailed within 24 hours. No deposits taken before the engineer arrives.

What Our Customers Say

Front door cylinder in our G42 flat had been on the same key for 15 years. Asked for an upgrade after a neighbour was burgled. Anti-snap cylinder plus mortice deadlock, £189 fitted in just over an hour.

Oliver J. Lock change
Composite door in Bishopbriggs wouldn't lock at the top hooks. Multipoint gearbox had gone. Replaced like for like, aligned the keeps, £139.

Andrew C. uPVC door repair
Had a break-in attempt at the back door of our place in Shawlands. Splintered frame, busted lock. The lad who came out boarded the door same night and returned next morning to refit a proper anti-snap setup. £165 all in.

David K. Burglary repair
Spare key sheared off in the back door of my mum's flat in Cumbernauld. Old lever lock, awkward angle. Got the broken piece out and rekeyed the whole thing for £75.
