Local locksmith?

Hi I wondered if anyone could recommend a local locksmith / security company (I did check and don’t think any of the existing threads have covered locksmiths). For context I’m looking for someone to give some general independent advice on upgrading the security/locks on my front and rear doors. Thanks

have used Terry’s All Locks by Crofton Park Station for years. They are very long established and did similar for us a few years ago.

Hi stepover, my husband (Alan) is a locksmith and although we moved out of Forest Hill to Kent last year, he still does non-emergency work in Forest Hill and is in the area approx. once a week to do work in SE23 and nearby.

He has excellent reviews on the East Dulwich Forum (see link in his checkatrade blurb: http://www.checkatrade.com/AllLockedOut/)

His number is 07870 199 771

I highly recommend Callows. They have gone above and beyond with me.

Try Terrys all locks by Crofton Park station. They have a good reputation & have been there a long time.

I use Terrys All Locks.

My uncle was in security. The usual advice is to spend as much as you can afford and definitely have better security than others to persuade burglars to go elsewhere.

I’ve used Callows, their cutting of duplicates is accurate, and they have a wide range.

Looks like they’ve recently moved from Melbourne Grove to Grove Vale.
