Your locksmith in Lee SE12

Lee SE12 is a settled residential corner of South East London, where late-Victorian and Edwardian terraces around Lee Green and Burnt Ash give way to interwar semis and post-war housing towards Grove Park and Horn Park.

Those older homes keep their original timber front doors and back doors, usually running five-lever mortice and rim nightlatch locks that wear or fall short of current insurer standards. The 1930s semis and later builds along Lee High Road and Hither Green often have uPVC and composite doors with multipoint gearboxes and euro cylinders instead.

So we are typically called for BS3621 lock upgrades, multipoint repairs and securing homes after a break-in - covering all of SE12, 24/7, with a 25-minute response target.

Locksmith Lee - FAQ

Find answers to common questions about our locksmith services.

My uPVC back door in Lee will not lock when I lift the handle - can you fix it?

Usually yes. On the uPVC and composite doors common around Lee High Road and Grove Park, a handle that lifts but will not lock normally means a failed multipoint gearbox. We carry common mechanisms and can often repair it in one visit. Emergency door opening starts from £79 and a lock change from £69 labour, ex VAT, with no call-out fee and the exact price confirmed before we begin.

Will the old mortice lock on my Victorian Lee Green house meet my insurer's requirements?

Many period doors around Lee Green and Burnt Ash still have older locks that no longer satisfy insurers. We fit British Standard BS3621 five-lever mortice locks that most home insurance policies require, and we will tell you honestly whether yours needs upgrading or simply re-keying. A re-key starts from £55 ex VAT.
