About Us
Fitted Right, Not Just Fitted
Master Locksmith treats every lock like it needs to hold up for years, not just pass inspection on the day — correct tolerances, correct hardware, tested before we leave.
Our technicians are trained across mechanical and digital systems, so a masterkey system gets planned properly and a single rekey gets the same attention to detail.
We operate 24 hours a day, 7 days a week — including weekends and public holidays — because emergencies don't wait for business hours.

Common Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
What does 'correctly fitted' actually mean in practice?
Correct tolerances, correct hardware for the door or frame, and a functional test before we consider the job done — not just a lock that turns.
Do you design masterkey systems, or just install what's specified?
We plan the key hierarchy for your building first, so it matches how access should actually be controlled, then cut and install to that plan.
Why does transponder programming sometimes fail with other locksmiths?
It's an exacting process — one incorrect step and the key won't pair. We follow manufacturer procedures precisely rather than generic shortcuts.
Do you guarantee your installations?
Yes — if a lock we've fitted develops a fault from the installation itself, we'll return and correct it at no charge.
Is careful, correct work more expensive than a standard callout?
No — thorough work is our standard rate, not an upsell. The price we quote covers doing it properly the first time.
If I replace a lock, can it still use my current keys?
Usually — we can supply and key new hardware to match what's already on your ring, so you're not carrying a second set.
