Snapped Key

 Had a call this morning as 3 flat mates managed to snap there key in the door and spent all night trying to remove the key, they eventually succumbed and called in the professionals. Have to admit this security escutcheon isn’t the easiest to work with as by design it spins making it difficult to work with, but I still got them in.




Another Saturday night broken key extraction.



Another snapped key this morning, this one was a deep one and took a while to extract it only to find that the lock was faulty and had to be replaced.

  Just had the call that every locksmith’s dread, and that a young mum had locked herself out of the house due to the wind slamming the door closed with her baby crawling around on its own. Worse still as every locksmith will tell you, the keys were on the other side of the lock, still they called the right locksmith as I managed to open the door with no damage, mum and baby are fine.
