CHANGE LOCKS

I can be available the same day to change locks in Bexhill when moving home. It is important to change the locks when you move home, as you don't know how many past residents have keys and it is a tricky conversation to have with an insurance company if you are burgled and they use a key.

I do deals for multiple lock changes i.e front door locks and patio, kitchen and side doors. This makes changing locks cheaper and cost effective. You will benefit from peace of mind and enhanced security, and being new the locks work smoothly and correctly. I only use British Standard locks, not cheap low security locks like some locksmiths to maximise their margins.

When I fit new locks to UPVC doors in Bexhill and composite doors I also service the door - this means I realign the door with the frame, adjust the draught seal compression and lubricate the multipoint mechanism. What you will notice is that the door will operate smoothly and be less draughty than before.

I can supply and fit the very latest Ultion ALPS 3 star locks which are Sold Secure Diamond, Secure by Design police recommended (2024 British Standard) locks.
These can be fitted to UPVC and composite doors and are a serious upgrade to the standard locks that doors are usually supplied with. The Ultion locks come with a £5000 manufacturer guarantee against lock snapping, which is the most common forced entry technique used by criminals. They have highly sophisticated relockers built in that go into lockdown mode when a forced entry is attempted. Criminals swerve these locks and move on to less secure properties.

I guarantee new locks for two years not one year like other locksmiths - plus I don't add VAT and never charge for call outs

NEW LOCKS EXPERTLY FITTED

As an ex-joiner I fit new locks in Bexhill with real care and precision and am an expert at this. I have fitted thousands of locks over the course of my career and I take great pride in doing a first class job . I can make recommendations on the best solution for your needs and supply and fit to the highest standard. The quality of the fitting should not be overlooked when comparing prices and locksmiths. many so called locksmiths fit to a very poor standard indeed, which can affect the lock's operation as well as aesthetically - the last thing you want on your clear finish oak door is gaps, wonkiness and filler. I have seen many terribly fitted locks that unwitting customers have paid a fortune for.

UPVC DOORS AND WINDOWS SERVICED

I fix UPVC door problems in Bexhill. A UPVC or composite door service is something that people often don't consider. They get used to having to slam the door or its draughtiness and difficult operation. One of the comments I frequently hear after I have fitted a replacement lock, which comes with a free door service, is "wow the door works better than when it was new" - in fact you can read this on many of my Google reviews. This is because I take the time to realign the door properly with the frame, adjust the keeps for better draught seal compression and clean and lubricate the multipoint locking mechanism. This is a skilled professional job that many so called locksmiths attempt but fail to do correctly. I have been out to many jobs where the customer has paid a lot for their door to be sorted out, only to be disappointed with the results. They are told things like "that's the best that can be done" or even "you need a new door", when in fact they lack the skill and in some cases the will to do a proper job.

EMERGENCY LOCKOUTS

I will get you in quickly, especially if you are locked out in Bexhill, locked out in St Leonards on sea, locked out in Hastings or locked out in Battle. I will open your doors quickly and without fuss or damage - unless it is a mortice lock with lost keys, which I would drill. My policy is to gain entry without damage wherever possible. I give lockouts priority and aim to be with you in under an hour, often much sooner. My record recently was 3 minutes as I was one street away. Usually it is about 15 minutes, as with customer's consent I make break away for fitting a new lock and return after I have got the locked out person in. I never lie about my time of arrival to secure the job and will recommend another local locksmith if I am unable to attend.

KEY SAFES

NEVER BE WITHOUT KEYS

I fit key safes in Bexhill and Hastings and use police recommended, Secured by Design key safes by Burton and SUPRA. The Supra C500 PRO is a heavy, solid lump with big high security fixings as is the Burton Key Guard XL - these key safes are the minimum security standard that you should observe for your safety and security. These are very strong key-safes and designed to be at least as secure as a good front door with good locks. I don't fit cheap poor quality key safes that you can buy for £20 or £30, as these leave homes extremely vulnerable and are an easy way in for uninvited guests. The cheap dial types are nearly as bad as leaving your front door key under the mat - they are very easy to pick or force open in seconds. It is always advisable to check prior to installation of any key safe with your insurance company as some will not cover a property fitted with a key safe.
