How Quickly Can LockFirst Reach You?
Across all seven of our areas we aim to be with you in 30 to 45 minutes for emergency call-outs. Our engineers are based in North West London, not dispatched from a call centre miles away, so the person who answers the phone is often the person who turns up at your door.
Arrival times are targets based on normal traffic. When you call we give you a realistic estimated arrival time based on your exact postcode and who is closest at that moment. If we cannot get to you quickly we will say so rather than keep you waiting.
Locked out, snapped key or a door that will not open. An engineer on the road within minutes, any hour of the day.
Stiff, sticking or spinning locks fixed rather than replaced, wherever the mechanism is worth saving.
New locks supplied and fitted on the same visit, including BS3621 mortices and anti-snap cylinders.
Multipoint gearboxes, hooks, handles and door alignment repaired, not ripped out.
Doors, frames and locks made secure the same day, with paperwork for your insurer.
Anti-snap cylinders, sash jammers, letterbox guards and insurance standard hardware fitted properly.
Mostly Victorian terraces and converted flats around the Broadway and Cricklewood Lane. Front door lockouts and worn mortice locks are what we see most here.
A mix of 1930s semis and mansion blocks. Anti-snap cylinder upgrades and insurance standard lock changes make up most of our work in the area.
Period properties with timber doors, sash windows and older locks that need repairing rather than ripping out. We work carefully on original doors.
Large Victorian houses split into flats, which means communal doors, shared entrances and plenty of key and cylinder work.
Purpose built blocks and flats along the Finchley Road. Entry door mechanisms, multipoint locks and access control are common call-outs.
Mansion blocks and high value homes where security upgrades, high security cylinders and insurance compliant locks are the usual request.
Period terraces and pastel fronted houses with original timber doors. Lock repairs, BS3621 mortice upgrades and lockouts are the regular jobs.
Our vans carry cylinders, mortice locks, multipoint mechanisms, handles and gearboxes for the door types most common in these areas. Describe your door on the phone or send us a photo on WhatsApp and we will confirm what we are bringing before we leave.
