The way we work

A trade built on the phone call, not on the bill at the end.

Most people who call us are stressed. Standing on a doorstep in the rain. Watching the school run go past. Trying to lock up the shop before closing. We don't make any of that worse.

You'll get a real Brighton number, a real person, and a price before we drive a single mile. If the quote changes once we're there — which is rare — you hear about it before any work begins. That's the whole job, really.

Where we help

Lock work, key work, door work

Whether the front door won't lock, the keys went down a drain, or the shop's been broken into overnight — we've handled it before, and we can handle it now.

Locked out, any time

Front doors, back doors, flats, offices, vans. We open most without damage and without breaking anything you'll have to replace afterwards.

Lost keys, fast

Keys gone? We'll cut new ones on the spot or change the cylinder so whoever's holding them can't use them. Usually faster than a takeaway.

UPVC and composite doors

Stiff handles, dropped doors, gearbox failures, snapped cylinders. The classic Brighton-flat door problems. We fix them every week.

Insurance-grade upgrades

Just moved in? Had a break-in? We fit British Standard BS3621 locks and anti-snap cylinders that satisfy your home insurer.

Car keys and lockouts

Spare keys, dead fobs, snapped blades, transponders cloned. Most makes and models, including newer European cars with chip immobilisers.

Shops, offices & landlords

Master key suites, restricted keys, access control, safes. Long-term work for landlords, letting agents, and small Brighton businesses.

From the call-outs

★★★★★

"Got home from a shift at 11pm and my key just wouldn't turn. Honestly thought I'd be sleeping in the car. He was there in 22 minutes, opened it without a scratch, and charged what he said he would on the phone."

Tom R. — Kemptown
★★★★★

"We needed three locks changed across two HMOs after a tenant moved out. Quote was clear, work was tidy, invoice came the same day. Easiest tradesman we've dealt with in years of letting."

Aisha K. — Hove letting agent
★★★★★

"UPVC door wouldn't lock and I'd been told the whole thing needed replacing. He had it open, a new gearbox in, and working properly inside an hour. Saved me a few hundred quid by being honest about what was actually wrong."

David L. — Portslade
