Frequently Asked Questions
At Delta Forge Locksmiths I would always advise that you contact a locksmith to change your locks unless you have the relevant knowledge and qualifications to change the specific door lock or window lock within your home or commercial property as you may cause more damage which will then mean further expense when coming to repair the lock.
By law a license to be a locksmith is not required however this is likely to change in the near future due to issues throughout the industry with rogue trading locksmiths. I would always suggest before hiring the services of a locksmith you consider the reviews of the company online such as Google Map reviews, Trustpilot etc. I would also advise that you check to see if the locksmith has passed relevant tests and has certifications of their skills such as City and Guilds, NCFE or MLA.
A locksmith is a specialist tradesperson who is capable of opening many varieties of locks in addition to carrying out repairs of the intricate mechanisms within them. A locksmith will also be proficient in installing locks and additional security hardware in order to secure a customers property. In addition to this a locksmith will be able to cut keys. Some locksmith such as myself here at Delta Forge Locksmiths will also be able to carry out additional services such as window/door glass replacement, UPVC repairs and boarding up services.
The cost of a local locksmith is determined by three main factors these are: The cost of any required parts, the time required to complete the work and the time of day/night in which the service is needed. For example a local 24hr locksmith will cost more after 5pm however, as a trusted local 24hr locksmith myself, I will provide customers with an upfront estimate of cost based upon a best and worst case scenario via a quick fault finding assessment over the phone, prior to attending.
In short “yes a locksmith can open a safe”. Mat at Delta Forge Locksmiths has previously opened domestic level safes for some of my customers due to either the batteries degrading, the lock failing or due to the keys being lost. To open a safe requires varying levels of specialist expertise depending on the Eurograde rating of the safe to be opened. For instance most safes commonly stocked in hardware stores, will be un-graded or 0 graded. These are mainly designed for storing documents and small quantities of cash/valuables (Please refer to your safes manufacture for specific value guidelines) Many of these are operated/locked using a digital keypad and are often supported with the use of tubular lock, used to override the safes lock, should the batteries within the keypad fail. These can normally be opened/bypassed by a skilled locksmith using non dedicated tools. Larger heavy duty safes for example such as the Eurograde 7 rated, Eurovault atlas produced by Burton Safes is designed to hold up to a value of £2,500.00 of valuables and employs a much more complex locking mechanism in addition to a hardened construction, in order to deter even the most persistent of criminals from opening them. With this understanding, I would refer the opening of such larger safes to a specialist safe engineer who employs the use of dedicated safe tools.
Some locksmith may charge a call out fee for attending a customers home/premises. This is normally to cover reasonable travel costs and the time required to evaluate the required work. Mat at Delta Forge Locksmiths does not charge a call out fee. As a local, independent locksmith, I hope that by making this decision, it will inspire trust and confidence from my customers from the moment I speak with them. Due to my experience as a locksmith, I find that asking the right questions during the initial enquiry can often help understand the needs of customers and in many cases enable me to evaluate the prospective cost involved prior to attending.
Yes, a locksmith should be able to open a locked door. Due to the various types of locks available within the UK market. A locksmith should be well versed with the various methods and tools utilised to achieve the opening of a locked door.
Typically we would say it is reasonable to allow up to 45 minutes from making an enquiry to an locksmith arriving at your property. It’s important to take into consideration reasonable obstructions such as rush hour traffic and road closures. A conscientious locksmith will be sure to keep a customer updated of any potential delays whilst on route to your property. If you require non-emergency work carried out, most locksmith’s will operate a diary booking system, allowing you to make an appointment for a date and time convenient for you.
Changing locks is a very common practice for a locksmith. The time required to change a lock is determined by the locksmiths level of knowledge of the various different types of lock available within the UK and European markets.
For example, changing a cylinder lock within a UPVC door may only take 15 minutes or so to complete, whereas changing a deadlock or sashlock within a timber door could take up to an hour to complete. This is due to the potential requirement to carefully alter the mortice within the door (the pocket in which the lock is housed).
