How our emergency Locksmith Services work
When you need an emergency locksmith in High Street Kensington, Kensington Locksmith should be your first port of call. All you have to do is dial 07884 675 945, and you’ll be connected to our locksmith team.
Let us know what kind of issue you’re facing, and we can offer advice over the phone, or if you’re locked out, we can get a locksmith to your place of residence. We will contact the nearest local locksmith to ensure a fast arrival time, in just 15 to 30 minutes most of the time, and we’ll let you know an approximate arrival time.
As our locksmith vans are fully equipped, we can handle most locksmith tasks on the first visit.
What verification do our local locksmiths require in London
As with all locksmith services, to gain access to a property, we’ll need photo ID verification and proof that you live at the address. If you’re a tenant, a tenancy agreement will suffice, or we can contact your landlord directly. We handle the verification before we do anything else, so you can guarantee a fast entry if you’ve been locked out or need the locks changed.
Our master locksmiths will always attempt non-destructive entry first
We believe that drilling a lock should be the last resort, and we will always attempt to open a lock using non-destructive methods first. When we bypass or pick a lock, no damage is done to the door or the lock, meaning it can be reused again if the issue was a broken key or a seized mechanism.
In the case that we do have to drill, which is less than 10% of the time, we carry a range of replacement mortice locks and Euro cylinders.
We’ll discover the faults quickly and provide effective solutions
Speed is of the essence when opening a door lock, and not only do we arrive at your property fast, but we also find the cause of the issue and get you back inside quickly. We deal with the most common issues, including:
Your key is just spinning in the lock
If the key spins but the lock doesn’t open, then it’s likely the gearbox is disconnected from the locking mechanism. We can sometimes repair the lock, but most of the time, a new replacement lock will be needed.
The nightlatch has stuck fast
Nightlatches are great secondary locking mechanisms to protect your home, but if they malfunction, they can lock you out of your home. The latch will lock fast if broken and act like a lock because it cannot retract.
The door has become misaligned
There are numerous causes why a door could become misaligned. From the door frame moving as the house settles, to exposure to heat, cold or moisture, we diagnose the issue and get everything lined up properly again.
Multiple options for your complete peace of mind
We treat every locksmith problem differently, as no two lock issues are the same. When we attend your property we can offer the following solutions:
- assistance with setting up restricted key profiles
- rekey the lock if keys have been lost
- swap out a faulty cylinder with a new one
- perform temporary security fixes
- install a keyed alike or master key system
- cut spare keys when we install new locks
- add a nightlatch or security bolt
Ask about our security upgrades
When you’re having issues with your lock, it’s sometimes easier to upgrade them to a more secure version than attempt to fix them, especially where burglary repair is concerned. We offer the best cylinder protection with TS007 3-star rated cylinders, as well as BS3621 locks for wooden doors.
You can also request security bars to prevent forced entry attempts, as well as hinge bolts to stop doors being lifted. When you choose a high security lock, you’ll benefit from reliable features like anti-snapping, anti-bumping, and anti-drilling.
Ask to see our selection and our locksmiths are more than happy to explain all of the different features and price points of the locks we supply and fit.
Wherever you are in Centre, North, South, West, or East London we offer a full afterservice
Our service doesn’t finish when we’ve completed the job, as you can always call on us for aftercare. Before we leave, we will test every new lock and key to make sure it opens and closes properly and it locks securely.
We will also provide all the safety documentation you need for insurance purposes. Our helpful locksmiths can advise on maintenance, and all of our workmanship is fully guaranteed. If you need our help in the Kensington High Street area, call 07884 675 945 any time of the day or night, including on bank holidays and weekends.
Case Study
A homeowner in Holland Park contacted us late at night after realising they’d lost their keys on a night out with friends. They hadn’t left a key with a neighbour and couldn’t gain access to the property. So, in a rush, they called us, and we were at the property in just 30 minutes. The client had a new lock installed with new extra keys cut in under an hour. No damage was caused to the door as we used non-destructive techniques to open it.
Moreover, the customer opted for a new lock as they couldn’t be sure who had their old keys, so they felt like it was the safest option. We showed them a selection of residential locks, and they opted for a top-of-the-line Banham lock due to some recent burglary attempts in the same street.
