9. What should I do if I'm locked out of my home/ business/ car?
If you find yourself locked out of your home, business, or car, the first step is to remain calm. Avoid attempting to force the lock open or breaking a window, as this may lead to costly repairs.

No, we don’t offer this service at present.
11. What kind of locks are the most secure for my home/ business?
Locksmiths can offer expert advice on the most secure lock options for your specific needs. High-security locks (3*) are currently the most secure. The locksmith will assess your requirements and recommend the best options to enhance your property's security. Refer to the 'Hardware and Security' section on this website for further information.
12. Is it necessary to change locks after moving into a new home or office?
Changing locks after moving into a new home or office is a highly recommended security measure.

It provides peace of mind and helps maintain the security of your new premises.
