THORNBURY · OPEN 24 HOURS
Lost keys and replacement keys in Thornbury
Period locks and no matching blank on the shelf is the normal situation here. We decode the lock and cut to it, so the original fitting stays on the door.
What this looks like on the day
Thornbury is Californian bungalows and Edwardian homes along the High Street corridor, a lot of them part-renovated. The usual picture is a heritage front door the owner wants left alone, with modern security fitted behind it rather than cut into it.
- Period locks decoded and cut to
- Blanks carried for fittings nobody stocks
- Original hardware stays on the door
What happens when you call
A time you can hold us to
We give you a window based on where the van is, and ring if the traffic on High Street changes it.
The figure does not move
Quoted on the phone, repeated at the door, identical on the invoice. After hours is in that number.
Original fittings stay original
Picks first and nothing drilled without your agreement. On a period door that is the whole job.
Local, and it shows
Whoever answers the phone is who arrives, which is why the advice on the call matches what happens at the door.
Other things we do in Thornbury
House lockouts
Bungalow front doors along the High Street streets are usually heavy, original, and fitted with something older than the people who live behind them. They open on picks and stay original.

Car lockouts
Locked out on a Thornbury side street where there is nowhere to move to. We come to the car and open it where it is parked.

Rekeying
On a part-renovated bungalow the last thing you want is new hardware that does not match. Rekeying changes the key and leaves the door looking exactly as it did.

Break-in repairs
Rear doors and side gates are where it happens on these blocks. We get the door locking again tonight and reinforce the old timber so it holds next time.

Security upgrades
The right approach on a heritage front door is security behind it, not instead of it. A deadbolt inside the original hardware is almost always the answer.
