Our services are reliable, whatever time of the day it is. In fact, Locksmith Crawley is open 365 days of the year for you – and not only our Locksmiths, but our phone-answering staff as well! We are wholly dedicated to making it easy for those in Crawley to get a Locksmith whenever they need it. Call today for your locksmith and find out about our locksmith services. We are your best answer to the question - is there a local locksmith near me.

Always There for New Homeowners

One of the best aspects of our job is helping new homeowners move in and make their house a safe place. A house is not just a building – it is meant to be a home, a safe haven, somewhere you feel secure. In the excitement of moving, it can be easy to forget about securing your new property, but we are happy to help.

First things first, you must change the old locks; you have absolutely no idea who might have access to your property! There’s no way of knowing for sure when they were changed last, who has keys, and how many keys they have. It’s crucial to make this your first security move upon arriving in your new home.

Many new homeowners opt to do this themselves, but this is a great risk that far outweighs the benefit of having an experienced locksmith perform the change. Here at Crawley, we are happy to oblige with prompt, reasonably priced services. You’ll face no concern of a lock being installed incorrectly.

We are determined to go the extra mile, so when we come to change locks for new homeowners, we love to arrange security surveys so that you are aware of the current state of your property’s security. We then provide you with a wide range of options which you can take advantage of whenever is most convenient for you. If you do get locked out of house, then we can help.

New Lock Installations

After over 20 years of experience, our Locksmiths know that you never know what to expect on a job; that being the case, they always come fully prepared with any tool they may need. From emergency lock-outs to fast response times to competitive rates, Locksmith Crawley has got you covered whatever your needs may be.

Though they are a bit trickier and less common, we also offer brand new lock installations. This requires a certain amount of expertise as joinery is involved with new lock installations where normal lock replacements already have the space in the door.

The Locksmith must first make space in the middle of the door for the lock body. Once it has been placed in the door and made parallel, an area is formed for the striking box. The striking box is where the deadbolt goes in the door frame when the key is turned and the lock is locked. Call now and get your new lock installation today!

Fast Response Relief

With no call-out fee and no VAT payable, we can come to your aid as soon as possible. Being locked out has never been as stress-free as it is with our professional Locksmiths taking care of things for you. Our focus is providing the best services at the best rate in a timely fashion.

We are careful to employ hard-working Locksmiths and sales people who have your best in mind and work ethically. You never have to worry about Crawley Locksmith being pushy or impatient. We are happy to answer any questions and provide exactly the services you require – no more and no less!

Call us today, and speak to one of our trained office advisors now. If you’re locked out, we can come right away or whenever suits you. If you're thinking is there a locksmith near me, then you are right, we are mobile and in the Crawley area.

We don’t just train anyone to get through locks! Call us today and let us help you get you back into your property or repair or replace your locks or doors. You won’t be answered by an automated message or put on hold for forever.

We are your best answer to the question - is there a local locksmith near me.

Mechanical Code Locks

Here at Locksmith Crawley, we deal with all kinds of locks, keys, and different material doors, and all of these in countless different situations. We can never predict what a day or week will hold. As a result, however, we are ready to deal with whatever situation arises, even locks that are less common or don’t require keys to be opened.

We can deal with any type of mechanical code lock and can fit, replace, repair, and even install any mechanical code lock you might want. We can even supply you with a lock. Mechanical code locks are those operated by buttons labeled with numbers and letters. In order to enter, you must enter the pre-set code, and if you get it wrong, you must press cancel and begin again.

Mechanical code locks are ideal for the office. Though the initial cost might be pricier, you’ll save money on keys. If you have an ordinary key lock on your door and a high amount of staff, you’d have to supply each of them with a key. Every time one goes missing, you’d need to replace the lock as you have no idea into whose hands it has fallen. All these costs add up! Especially lock replacements.

We Are Here If & When You Need Us Most

We have been around for quite a while and are at your service all hours of the day, 365 days a year. Whether or not the situation is an emergency, we are ready as soon as you need us.

Call today, and speak to one of our trained office advisors about all the great services we offer, our availability to offer those services, and how much we charge to provide those services. Whether you’re locked out, need you locks changed, or would like a new lock installed on your door, Locksmith Crawley has all the tools and experience to get you through any situation where a Locksmith is required. You won’t be charged a call-out fee or any VAT. 

Customer Service

We could go on and on with all the buzzwords and jargon you’d find covering three or so pages on any website, but when push comes to shove, our customer service is one of the best. We are committed to providing the safest and most comfortable locksmith experience you’ve ever had, with a professional and honest service.

We won’t take up pages with how well we treat our customers; we simply want to show you, and that’s why we are available every moment of every day – real people answering the phone with solutions for you at their fingertips. Talk to us about our locksmith services, especially our emergency locksmith services.

Call now, and let our service speak for itself!

uPVC Doors

As we’ve gained experience with all sorts of materials and situations, we’ve had ample experience with UPVC doors as well. We’d even go so far as to call ourselves specialists. We carry all the parts for most types of UPVC doors on our vans at all time which means that even if we come out expecting something wrong with your UPVC multi-point locking mechanism and it actually turns out to be just a simple cylinder job, we can simply go back to the van and replace your euro cylinder with a shiny fresh anti-snap and anti-pick euro cylinder instead – no matter the measurements!

Even if you don’t have us provide the euro cylinders, we highly recommend that you have your locksmith use anti-snap locks so that you’re safe from the most common types of break-in at the very least. Crooks often use lock snapping to take advantage of a flaw in the design; however, if you take the time to ensure your UPVC door locks anti-snap, then you don’t have to worry about anyone getting into your house.

Call us, and speak to one of our trained advisors today. We won’t make you speak to any automated robots or machines, or put you on hold for hours. We are close by and could be your nearest locksmith.

Helping Your Small Business Go Keyless

Almost all houses and businesses we are called to have similar locking mechanisms, the majority based on the traditional system we’ve been using to secure our homes for centuries. While there’s a reason these have worked for so long, they have one flaw: the necessity of a key. There’s nothing quite as inconvenient as losing or breaking your key, and a keyhole makes lock-picking a possibility. Call today to hear how you can go keyless.

EXPLORING OUR LOCKS

Here at Locksmiths Crawley we deal with many different types of locks and whilst we feel like we’ve dealt with every single possible type of locks, there are three types that keep coming up over and over again much more frequently than the others, these are;

1. Mortise Locks – Mortise Locks are the most stubborn out of the three. They are usually found on front doors of houses and can only be unlocked by a key from both sides. These type of locks are the hardest to break through and the most expensive to replace.
2. Euro Cylinder – Euro cylinders are the cheapest to replace and the easiest to replace. They can either be unlocked with a thumb tab on the inside and a key on the outside or a key on both sides. They are commonly found on UPVC doors.
3. Night Latch – These types of locks are commonly referred to as Yale locks. However, Yale is just a brand of lock famous for their night latches even though they make other types of locks. They are commonly found in flats and apartment buildings to ensure anyone can escape the building without a key needed.

OUR POLICY AND GUIDE

At Locksmiths Crawley, all the locks we use are a 100 percent in line with their corresponding British Standards; so you won’t have to worry about your home insurance policy. If you have a question about any of our locks or the brands that we use, don’t hesitate to call our office staffs. We will be more than happy to answer any question you might have regarding our products.

At Locksmiths Crawley, it’s our duty to make sure all of our locks are in line with British Standards. This is because if they aren’t and we fit a lock to your door and then get burgled, your insurance companies might be well within their rights not to pay out. Although, this might sound like a shady move on the insurance company’s behalf, it’s actually there to protect you from being sold weak locks.

We do this because we know no one can tell how strong or good a lock is by merely looking at it. That’s why the British Standards Institute test and rigorously put a lock through its paces; including seeing how it fairs against the most popular method of breaking in for that particular lock. There are a few different standards that relate to the different types of locks and lock purposes.

Check them out below:

British Standard Kite Mark

BS3621 – This covers all mortise and cylinder rim locks that take keys from both sides of the lock. This standard ensures that as long as an attempted intruder has the keys, they won’t be able to gain access to your property through fault of this lock.

BS8621 – This covers all locks with keys for the outside access, but the ability to be locked and unlocked from the inside without a key. This is why they’re used in flats and apartment buildings; so in an emergency situation such as fire outbreak, anyone can get out safely.

BS10621 – This covers all locks that only lock from the outside with a key, but can be opened from the inside depending on whether the key was turned enough to disable this.

Stay within these British Standards for all locks you may buy or replace in the future and you’re sure to be safe when it comes to claiming on insurance.

And don’t forget you have us to always ensure you get the standard.

Guess what; we have special hints and tips that could help you deter criminals in your homes and workplaces

LOCKSMITHS HINTS

When protecting your property, the most important thing to do is to firstly think of the security of your front door.

Locksmith Crawley’s safety recommendations depend entirely on the type of door you have. For instance, if you have a wooden door, we recommend as a minimum, the installation of a mortise deadlock.

Similarly, if you have a UPVC door, you should have an anti-bump and anti-snap Euro Cylinder lock. Ensure they are both British Standards and if you are unsure of their quality, give your friendly Locksmith a call to confirm. All lock replacements handled.

Whilst this is all important, it’s also necessary to ensure that any potential burglar doesn’t target your property in the first place. In fact, it’s really not as difficult as it may first seem. It’s often a combination of many small practices and habits, rather than large, time-consuming ones. With this in mind, we would like to suggest some hints and tips to prevent burglars in respect to your property.

If you do get locked out of house and need help, we provide an emergency locksmith service near you. We are your best answer to the question - is there a local locksmith near me.

LOCKSMITHS IN CRAWLEY TIPS

You should know that burglars will tend to look at how security conscious they believe the property to be. This means that they will quickly examine the number of locks, lighting and even small matters such as whether a gate has been left open or not. They will also scan for anything outside your property which they can use to get in. It is important to ensure such equipment or garden furniture is not left out overnight.

Also, you should know that your windows are literally like a shop. Keep valuables hidden and your property will seem less inviting.

THE GOOD NEWS

Locksmiths Crawley can always conduct a security survey of your property at a time convenient for you to highlight any potential weaknesses.

At Locksmiths Crawley, we are very serious about home security and we think you should be just as serious. We don’t think it’s enough just to have secure locks; we propose that you consider getting a burglar alarm. We believe it will serve as a perfect back up when the locks can’t protect you. Most people have some sort of alarm system on their house, but how many of us actually use it?

You sure know what to do; CALL US NOW on 01293 301 774!

A locksmith is a professional expert who can help when someone needs a key to a lock, needs to get into their locked vehicle, or otherwise needs some sort of service to change the locks in a building or other similar procedures.

Crawley locksmith is one of the best such services in the area. There are many reasons Crawley locksmith has the best reputation in the local area.

Our customers are looking for a speedy response, and the reliability of both our staff and the materials we need to complete the job.

Advice for Moving into a Home

First off, congratulations on your new property! If you’ve recently moved home, then may have a number of security concerns and Locksmith Crawley hopes to help answer some of those issues.

Firstly, you will be given a full rundown of all the current security measures in your new house – where the locks are, if there is an existing alarm system etc. This will help you know your new home inside and out, and will let you feel safe in knowing what exactly is already in place in your new home. Then, you will be given some advice on how to handle moving into a new home and updating the security features therein.

One of the first things we recommend is that you should replace all the locks in your new home. While the previous owners may have given you all their keys, you will never if they gave a spare key to someone else and forgot about it. If that is the case, you may worry that a stranger could gain access to your home without your permission.

The safest option therefore is to simply change all of your locks, and doing this will make you feel much more comfortable. Smaller locks such as the ones on your windows may not need to be changed, but again, for maximum security we also recommend changing these out as well. Remember, security starts with your locks, and taking any risk is just not worth compromising yours and your family’s safety.

If the property comes with an existing alarm or security system, you will also want to change the codes for these or any CCTV systems that came with the house. This ensures that if someone breaks into the house, they can’t mute the alarm, which would mean you wouldn’t even realise they’d broken in until you returned home.

It’s also good to follow the more basic security rules, such as not leaving a spare key outside your home. While this seems useful if you lose yours, spare keys are often easy for intruders to find and simply let a potential thief walk right into your home. You also need to ensure that any spare keys you lend out are returned to you, as otherwise the same problem may occur. If you have any further questions or would like to book a lock change, please call us today.

Stylish Security with Us

People often think that any security feature they may install at their property will be ugly and unsightly, or that they would have to pay through the roof for something that both looks nice and functions well too. That is not the case however, and here at Locksmith Crawley we have a wide range of stunning security solutions for any home or business!

Here are some examples of the upgrades that you can get installed at your property.

If you are looking to install a security camera, it doesn’t need to be big, bulky and stark white. We offer a wide range of more discrete cameras, which come in black and other dark colours. We even have dome cameras – and the shiny glass dome is a welcome addition to any room!

Locksmith Crawley also often recommends window grilles to be installed in homes with ground floor windows. Sometimes we are met with protest, and many times customers say, “It will make my home look like a prison!” However, there are truly some really beautiful, wrought-iron decorative and functional grilles available. In the same way you can have a bespoke gate, you can have a stunning window grille! These really elevate any property in beauty and in value.

Speaking of windows, your windows and doors themselves can even be improved. At Locksmith Crawley we offer top doors which have metal inside so they are incredibly secure. Not only are they top notch when it comes to keeping intruders out of your home, they look great too.

Hard woods, old woods, you name it. We have them all for you to choose from!

We can even suggest a way to update your garden in such a way that it is both visually lovely and also deters thieves – look out for a future post! So, for security solutions with style, call Locksmith Crawley today.

Locksmith Crawley suggests Defensive Gardening

The safety of your home begins in the garden, and you could be using it to a much greater extent in order to protect against any potential thieves in the Locksmith Crawley area. With crime rates being high, we are facing many burglaries and other issues in our area. That’s why you need to be sure to protect your home both inside and out. We have some great ideas to share with you today that will do just that. We are your locksmith local to you.

Firstly, never skimp out on an alarm system, and in particular look for one with an external hub that flashes to indicate that the alarm system is running properly. Visual cues are what burglars look for in a home they are considering robbing, and this type of gear is a great deterrent against them. You should also look into getting motion activated lights and CCTV cameras, as these both allow you to see whoever is approaching your home, and to have video evidence in case something goes wrong.

Another tip is to use your plants to your advantage. There are many available plants that look lovely, but have a sharp edge to them, such as roses or hawthorns. These can be planted in strategic points around your garden, such as beneath windows and along fences, to help keep away unwanted guests. The sharp thorns will mean that anyone trying to enter your property without your permission will injure themselves.

That helps to deter possible intruders, who will often not even bother to consider robbing your home if they see that you have these types of plants. You can also consider planting large hedges instead of fences to make your garden perimeter more secure. This is because hedges are harder to climb and therefore, are a more secure plant option for your home.

WHY USE BURGLAR ALARMS?

A survey involving ex burglars was made, and they were asked what the most likely thing to put them off burglarising a house was. According to the survey statistics, 70% of them mentioned a burglar alarm.

This is why Locksmith Crawley has come up with some recommendations for you to ensure maximum protection in your homes.

OUR RECOMMENDATIONS

But what type of alarm system is best for your home? There are two types of alarm available and they both have their advantages and disadvantages.

A stand alone system is just an alarm that makes a loud noise when triggered; alerting your neighbours and passers-by for them to help alert authorities. This system is much cheaper than a monitored system but it isn’t very useful if you don’t have neighbours nearby to call the police.

The second type of system is a monitored system and this works by the owner paying a security team to monitor your alarms and then call the police if your alarm is triggered. This is more expensive but it’s the best option if you don’t have neighbours that are close to you.

How can Locksmith Crawley help your local business?

As your Locksmith Crawley attendant shall have waxed lyrically about before, commercial premises require a particular kind of security. Unlike residential properties, commercial properties differ greatly. And that is why Locksmith Crawley is committed to delivering expert security services for warehouses, factories, shops and office blocks to give just a few examples!

At Locksmith Crawley, we don’t discriminate in who we offer our services to; we take particular pride in helping small, local businesses sort out their basic security needs when moving into new commercial premises. Unlike larger corporations, small local businesses are unlikely to benefit from favourable insurance and we understand, as a small business ourselves, that if the worst happens to your property, it can often hit you harder than a corporation who can rely on other parts of the business to restock the store immediately.

That’s why we offer special rates and discounts for other local businesses! Once your security is sorted, you can focus on what you need to do, which is making your business a success!

Where you move to doesn’t matter to us; either a warehouse, office or anywhere else, we at Locksmith Crawley, are always happy to visit your property and conduct a routine security survey to help make you aware of any potential weaknesses in your property.

As a full-service, Locksmith Crawley can help you install and repair any works you’d like us to carry out based on our recommendations. That means, whether you simply need a strong mortise deadlock installed or a brand new alarm system with all the appropriate electrics, we’ve got your back. In fact, if you’re a customer-facing business selling products on the high street, we can provide the added extras every such business needs. 

Locksmith Crawley is proud to continue serving the community all year round.

Professional security advice for new homeowners from Locksmith Crawley

So you have finally made the big leap and now own your own home. This is a joyous day and Locksmith Crawley congratulates you on the big move. However, now you have far more responsibility for your property compared to when you previously were only a tenant in someone else’s home. Do not fear; your friendly Locksmith Crawley is here to offer you some advice and services to ensure your property is adequately protected.

The first thing you should do is make sure you change the locks on your new home. This is recommended by Locksmith Crawley for whenever you move to a new house. As a matter of precaution, you do not know how many keys were previously cut and who still might have access to your home. If there are a number of locks that need to be replaced, Locksmith Crawley will always offer a reasonable deal to save the already almighty expense of moving home.

The second thing is to conduct a thorough security inspection of your property from the outside. If you are unsure of how to do this, your friendly Locksmith Crawley team regularly carries out such inspections and are always available to offer such services at a time convenient for you. If you do not require our services, then our one tip is for you is to think like a burglar. This means looking for what surrounds your property that might make it easy to access. Are there any objects which are easy to climb? For instance, consider planting a pretty rose bush up the side of your fence. This aesthetically pleasing deterrent will keep your home secure and make it delightful to look at.

The trick is to always be one step ahead. If you’re going to be out of your home for long periods, you should invest in security lighting or fake TV lights to switch on in your property. If you are unsure of what security you may need or are simply in need of some friendly advice, call one of our helpful Locksmiths Crawley attendants today.

Mortise locks strongly recommend by Locksmith Crawley experts

For many people, home security still remains much of a mystery. We understand the need to protect our homes, but we’re not quite sure how we’re meant to do it and the best way of doing so. Of course, before thinking about additional ways of protecting your property, it’s important that the basics are done correctly. Therefore, the first place to start should always be your front and back doors.

The first thing to check is the current security present on each door, especially your front door. Unless your property is a new build, there’s a strong likelihood that your front door will be wooden. In this case, it is likely you will have either a Yale lock or a Mortise lock, maybe even a combination of the two. Locksmith Crawley always recommends both in harmony on a door, but never a Yale lock on its own. While these gained popularity due to their convenience to the customer, the cheap price of manufacturing and the ease of installation, they are a much weaker form of protection than a Mortise lock.

A Mortise lock will either be a deadlock or a sash lock. What you require may well depend on what is already present on your door or what you would like to be present by way of aesthetics. Whatever the case may be Locksmith Crawley can discuss the most suitable option over the phone or in person. It is most likely that your home insurance provider will request a 5 lever British Standard lock in order to validate your policy. Not only are these notoriously difficult to pick, the British Standard means the lock has a longer bolt throw, anti-drill plates and a security curtain to protect the levers. As this is supplied as standard by a Locksmith Crawley service, you can be sure you will be receiving adequate protection when upgrading your home security.

Locksmith Crawley Home Security

Home security here at Locksmith Crawley is no joke. We don’t take home security lightly and neither should you, the amount of jobs we attend to where homeowners have wished they’d updated their home security before they had to see us is unbelievable. Don’t be like them; don’t play around with your belongings.

Call us now!!!

For us, home security starts in the garden. We like to think of your garden as a bridge from the deep dark unknown to your house, and it’s either you make that path a pleasant one for intruders, or make that path a nervy jumpy path that might make burglars think twice about attempting a break in. Which would you pick?

If you’re on a budget, the best thing to do would be to pick up an external light with a motion sensor to point down your garden; meaning you can see everyone who walks up your drive.

Another good tip is to check the materials and the lock types on your doors, and then with this information, do some research into the type of break-in most associated with the material and lock type. For example, if you have a UPVC door you’d be most at risk of lock snapping and therefore, you would need to check if your door has anti snap cylinders fitted. If not, fit them for safety.

Can a trusted Locksmith Crawley engineer help me with my lock repairs and replacements?

Making sure your locks are fixed fast and done with precision at times of need is our priority.

This applies also to your window locks and naturally, a Locksmith Crawley engineer can assist you also with your window locks.

Discreet security upgrades with a Crawley Locksmith

When people think of installing bolts on their doors, they often think of an unsightly, thick metallic mechanism that destroys the aesthetic interior of their property. This could not be any more of an unfortunate misconception.

Security companies understand the rising need for such mechanisms and have, over the years, become increasingly accommodating by ensuring bolts can be both highly secure and aesthetically pleasing. This is good because it is one of the most cost-effective upgrades Locksmith Crawley recommends to all customers.

Wooden doors are usually secured by one of, or a combination of, a mortise lock and a Yale lock. If these two are combined, they are very effective at protecting a property from outside attention as getting through both can be difficult for a criminal.

However, should the worst happen, there should be an undetectable layer of security that stops anyone in their tracks. By attaching a bolt to the top and bottom of your door, you can fully fasten the door into the wall or door frame. This means that if someone can get through your key-based locking systems, it is unlikely they’ll be able to get through the bolts securing your door with any ease.

LOCKSMITH CRAWLEY CUSTOMER SERVICE CULTURE

All our cost savings are passed on to the customers as part of our dedication to excellent customer service. That does not mean there is ever a skimp on quality; all locks installed are British Standard, which is important as it guarantees effective security and should also ensure validation of any insurance policy you may have.

Business security for domestic properties with Locksmith Crawley

As with the rest of the UK, Crawley is unfortunate in having been hit by what feels like a plague of criminal activity. It is unclear what the primary cause may be, but it does appear that the world feels a little bit less safe on the local level currently. It is not the intention of a local security professional to scare customers; it is merely to bring some reality to the current security climate. This is echoed by the increasing number of calls we receive from customers asking us about any potential upgrades they can invest in.

In fact, there’s certainly been a rise in the number of calls regarding anti-snap UPVC locks. All our locks are fitted as both anti-snap and anti-bump as standard. This is important as it provides that vital layer of protection to your property and makes it much more secure than it would have been before. If you are unsure about the state of your lock, a local Locksmith Crawley can inspect the state of your premises by carrying out a security survey and highlighting any potential weakness.

What burglar security alarm should I choose for my home?

In the picking stage of what you would like to have in place to keep your home secure whilst you are away, a burglar security alarm is something you should choose based on both preference and need.

What your specific security needs at home are depends on many factors. What area you are in, what security features you prefer and what budget you are on. These are just to mention a few of the factors you need to keep in mind when choosing what burglar security alarm to get installed.

To get the assistance you need, feel free to get in touch with our high end technicians at any time. They are skilled in assessment. We help you get the wired or wireless system you need to put into place in no time.

The choice between a wired and wireless system is one of the first things that will come into the picture. A wired alarm requires professional installation. But as a result of the slightly elevated cost, you’ll get a more robust system that’s not as vulnerable to issues with power or signal.

In most cases for a home, our technicians recommend a wired system; due to the stable and secure environment they provide and due to how long they last. Wired systems require less maintenance, and are thus easier for you to deal with.

The relatively young, smart technology that is out there today is also an option. They come with remote control features and with many systems you can monitor your cameras and access from afar.

The bottom line when picking a burglar alarm for your home is to ensure that your basic needs are covered.
