Lockouts, lost keys & stolen keys

If you’ve lost your keys, had them stolen, or simply can’t get into your home, we can gain entry without causing damage in most cases.

Once inside, we’ll advise on the safest next step.

• Non-destructive entry wherever possible
• Lock replacement only if needed
• British Standard locks fitted
• 2-year guarantee on parts and labour

You won’t be pressured into work you don’t need — just honest advice based on the situation.

Emergency uPVC & Patio door repairs

uPVC and patio doors rely on multipoint locking mechanisms, which commonly fail after 10–12 years of use.

Failures can happen when the door is:

• Locked shut
• Stuck open
• Impossible to secure

These are genuine emergencies.

Locksmith Stephen Fretwell specialises in uPVC and patio door repairs, carrying a wide range of mechanisms to maximise first-visit fixes.

• High chance of same-day repair
• No forced damage to the door
• Your home is secured properly

Snapped key in the lock?

A snapped key doesn’t automatically mean a new lock.

If the broken key can be safely extracted and you have a spare, the lock can often be saved, avoiding unnecessary cost.

• Correct tools used
• No damage to the lock
• Honest advice on whether replacement is needed

Anti-Snap lock upgrades (emergency & preventative)

Lock snapping is still one of the most common burglary methods.

If your lock has been attacked, or you want to prevent it, we recommend Ultion three-star plus anti-snap locks.

• Police-recognised
• British Standard TS007
• Strong protection against snapping and drilling

Emergency upgrades are available, along with straightforward security advice you can actually use.

Emergency window lock & hinge repairs

A failed window lock or hinge can leave your home exposed.

If a window won’t close or lock properly, we provide same-day emergency window repairs where possible.

• Faulty locks replaced
• Hinges repaired or replaced
• Property secured before we leave

Windows shouldn’t be left unsecured overnight, and they don’t have to be.
