Specialised Locksmith Services FAQs

No. We install and service standard door closers, but we do not install or repair motorised automatic door operators. If your door is automatic, we will refer you to a specialist.

Not always. Child-safe locks and restrictors depend on the window type and existing hardware. We confirm compatibility first to make sure the setup is safe and secure.

Child-safety restriction limits how far a window opens to reduce fall risk. Security locking is designed to resist forced entry. They are not always the same product, so we confirm what outcome you need.

We handle mechanical roller door locks and T-handle locks and dependeng on the brand we may be able to programme a new remote. Garage door motors, springs, tracks, and cables are referred to a garage door specialist.

We open many key, digital, and mechanical combination safes. High-security vaults or advanced commercial safes may require a specialist safe technician, which we coordinate if needed.

Yes. We can change combinations on supported mechanical and digital safe locks. We confirm the brand and model first to ensure compatibility.

Steve was excellent. He had some problems with the lock and it ended up he needed to drill it out as a student with a tiny income i was very worried about afording this. However he only charged me for the standard lock pick job. It was the best quote i got from the 3 places i callled and the nicest response over the phone as well. Thanks again Steve.
