Frequently Asked Questions — Sherborne
-
How quickly can a locksmith reach me in Sherborne?
Sherborne sits in the north of the DT area, about 40 to 50 minutes from our Weymouth and Dorchester side, so we give you an honest ETA rather than an unrealistic one. For an urgent lockout we prioritise the run up, and we will tell you a realistic time for your exact address before setting off.
-
Can you work on Sherborne's historic stone properties?
Yes, this is common work in Sherborne. The abbey town is full of older stone properties with original timber doors, mortice locks and rim nightlatches. We carry parts for traditional five-lever British Standard mortice locks and can repair or replace on a period door around Cheap Street or Newland without harming its character.
-
Do you fit high-security locks on Sherborne homes?
We do, and it is popular here given the many well-kept and higher-value properties. We fit BS3621 mortice locks, TS007 3-star anti-snap euro cylinders and reinforced hardware. If you want to upgrade the security on a Sherborne home, we can advise on what suits the door and satisfies your insurer.
-
Are your Sherborne locksmiths DBS checked and insured?
Every engineer we send to Sherborne is DBS checked and fully insured with 2 million pounds of public liability cover. You are letting someone into your home, so it matters they are properly vetted and accountable. ID is shown on arrival without you having to ask.
-
Which areas around Sherborne do you cover?
As well as Sherborne itself we cover the surrounding north Dorset DT9 villages, including Yetminster, Milborne Port, Bradford Abbas and out toward the county border. If you are in a nearby village and unsure whether we reach you, ring us and we will confirm the ETA for your postcode.
What Our Customers Say
-
Locked out of our house off Cheap Street. He was honest that it would take him a while to get up from the coast, gave me a proper time, and opened the door with no damage when he arrived. 85 pounds.
-
The mortice lock on our period stone door near the abbey had seized. He freed and replaced it with a British Standard one, careful not to mark the old timber. 145 pounds and a lovely job.
-
Wanted the security upgraded on our home to something the insurer was happy with. He fitted anti-snap cylinders and a British Standard lock and explained each one. 190 pounds and thorough with it.
-
Our uPVC side door in Milborne Port stopped locking. The mechanism had failed. He had the gearbox on the van and had it working within the hour, 108 pounds. No mess left behind.
-
After an attempted break-in he came up the same evening, secured the door, and returned next day with British Standard locks for the claim. Reassuring throughout, 235 pounds for everything.
-
Snapped my key in the front door. He extracted the piece and fitted a new cylinder, 82 pounds. Worth the wait for someone who clearly knew old doors.
