TRUSTED LOCKSMITH
YOUR SECURITY, OUR REPUTATION
Maintaining a 5.0-star Google rating is a testament to our commitment to your home's safety. Whether it’s an emergency lock change or a planned upgrade to 3-Star Anti-Snap cylinders, our customers consistently praise Romans for his punctuality, honest advice, and the high-standard hardware we install across the region.
DIAGNOSE YOUR LOCK FAULT
Is your door difficult to lock, or are your current cylinders putting your property at risk? Recognising the early signs of a failing lock can prevent an stressful emergency lockout and ensure your home remains fully insurance-compliant. Romans provides expert replacement and upgrades for the following common lock issues:
If your key is difficult to turn or gets stuck in a timber door, the internal levers of the mortice lock are likely worn or misaligned. Forcing a stiff lock can snap the key inside the cylinder. Romans can non-destructively open the door and replace the mechanism with a robust, British Standard BS3621 alternative.
A door handle that sags or a key that spins completely round without engaging the bolt usually points to a broken cam inside the euro cylinder or a failed multi-point locking gearbox. Romans carries a comprehensive stock of replacement parts to restore the smooth operation and security of your uPVC or composite door on the first visit.
Many older uPVC and composite doors are still fitted with standard euro cylinders that are highly vulnerable to "lock snapping", a common method used by intruders. Upgrading to a 3-star British Standard anti-snap cylinder provides an immediate visual deterrent and a solid barrier against forced entry.
If your final exit doors are fitted with standard locks that lack the British Standard Kitemark, your home insurance policy may be completely void in the event of a break-in. Romans can audit your current security setups and upgrade your locks to insurance-approved, 5-lever mortice locks or TS007 compliant cylinders to give you total peace of mind.

LOCK SECURITY ENGINEERING
Many homeowners believe they need an entirely new door when a locking mechanism fails or handles begin to sag. Romans takes a more practical and cost-effective approach, specialising in the precision replacement and upgrading of internal locking hardware. By changing only the faulty or vulnerable components within your timber, uPVC, or composite frame, we restore absolute security and insurance compliance at a fraction of the cost of a new door installation.
Modern uPVC and composite doors rely on complex multipoint locking systems. If your door is jammed shut or the handle won't lift, the issue is often a snapped internal gearbox rather than the full multi-point strip. Romans carries a vast inventory of replacement gearboxes and central locking cases on-site, allowing for immediate repair of the mechanism to ensure your hooks, rollers, and deadbolts engage perfectly with the frame keeps.
Standard euro cylinders are highly vulnerable to "lock snapping", a quiet and fast method used by modern intruders. Romans specialises in upgrading vulnerable doors with TS007 3-star British Standard anti-snap cylinders. Featuring sacrificial snap lines, anti-drill pins, and anti-pick technology, these high-security cylinders provide an instant visual deterrent and maximum resistance against forced entry.
For traditional timber doors, British home insurance providers typically mandate that final exit doors are fitted with a 5-lever mortice deadlock or sashlock conforming to BS3621. Romans can audit your current setup and swap outdated, unrated locks for premium, Kitemarked British Standard alternatives, ensuring your property is fully protected and your insurance policy remains valid.
Tired of carrying a heavy bunch of keys for your front door, back door, and patio? Romans can configure your new locks using a "keyed-alike" system. By professionally pinning your euro cylinders or mortice locks to match, we can introduce a streamlined solution where one single key operates multiple locks across your property, without compromising on individual door security.
Whether it’s a standard cylinder upgrade at a private residence or a complete security overhaul for a commercial unit, Romans provides professional lock change services tailored to all door types, including timber, uPVC, and composite frames. Operating with a fully stocked mobile workshop, he ensures your property's locks are replaced efficiently, restoring absolute security and insurance compliance on the very first visit.
Your home’s security relies on robust, reliable locks that keep your family safe and meet strict insurer demands. Romans specialises in changing locks for new homeowners, replacing damaged cylinders after a break-in, and upgrading vulnerable entrances. From installing anti-snap TS007 3-star cylinders on uPVC patio doors to fitting insurance-approved BS3621 mortice deadlocks on wooden front doors, we ensure your home remains an impenetrable barrier.
Business premises require high-durability locking systems to protect valuable assets and withstand constant daily use. Romans works closely with local high-street retailers, offices, and commercial property managers across the region to change worn-out commercial locks, replace digital keypad cylinders, and install restricted key profiles. We can also design and implement tailored master key layouts, allowing managers access to all doors while restricting staff to specific zones.
Managing a portfolio of rental properties requires a swift, compliant, and cost-effective response during tenant turnovers or emergency situations. Romans provides a dedicated lock replacement service for landlords and letting agents, ensuring prompt end-of-tenancy cylinder changes to maintain property control. We guarantee that all newly installed hardware complies with the necessary British Standards, protecting the landlord's investment and the tenant's safety.
RAPID RESPONSE
If you are locked out of your property, have lost your keys, or your lock has failed while engaged, Romans provides a specialist emergency service to get your day back on track. Opening and replacing a faulty mortice lock or euro cylinder requires professional expertise to ensure your property is accessed safely and re-secured without causing expensive damage to your door.
Romans uses specialised lock picking, bypass tools, and non-destructive methods to manipulate failed cylinders, night latches, and jammed mortice locks. Our absolute priority is to gain entry while preserving the integrity of your timber, uPVC, or composite door, avoiding unnecessary damage, mess, and additional replacement costs.
Gaining entry is only half the job when security has been compromised. Romans carries an extensive stock of British Standard BS3621 mortice locks, TS007 euro cylinders, and rim cores in his mobile workshop. This allows him to replace the faulty or vulnerable hardware and supply you with fresh keys in a single visit, immediately restoring your peace of mind.
If your lock change is due to a forced entry or a heavily stiff mechanism, Romans doesn't just swap the hardware. Once the new lock is fitted, he performs a comprehensive door alignment and strike-plate adjustment to ensure smooth operation. We also audit your entire door setup to guarantee it meets current insurance-approved standards before we leave.
