Services
Emergency Locksmith
We provide rapid response emergency locksmith services across East Sussex and West Kent. Using non-destructive techniques like lock picking and decoding, our CRB-checked technicians gain entry to domestic and commercial properties without damaging locks. Available during business hours, we replace damaged locks with British Standard-compliant components while maintaining insurance requirements for security systems.
Safe Installation
Our NSI-approved safe installation service covers domestic and commercial applications across Sussex and Kent. We supply and fit insurance-rated free-standing, underfloor, and furniture safes to BS EN 1143-1 standards. Professional installation follows manufacturer guidelines, ensuring compliance with insurance policies. We offer fireproof options and specialist vault installations for high-security document or valuables storage.
UPVC Repairs
Specialist uPVC door and window repair service for composite, aluminium, and PVC systems. We replace multi-point locking mechanisms, euro cylinders, and faulty handles while maintaining security standards. Our technicians realign dropped doors, fix seized hinges, and install Georgian bar replacements. We stock major brands like Yale and ERA, often repairing units instead of full replacements to save costs.
Key Cutting
Precision key cutting service available at our Hastings trade counter. We duplicate standard and complex keys including safe, locker, and machine keys while you wait. Using lock codes when originals are unavailable, our technicians produce accurate duplicates for domestic and commercial systems. We supply replacement keys for restricted systems and offer keying-alike services for multi-door installations.
Master Key Systems
Custom master key system design and installation for commercial properties in East Sussex. We create hierarchical access solutions where multiple locks operate with individual keys while a master key controls all. Ideal for educational institutions and NHS facilities, these systems meet BS3621:2004 insurance standards. We also provide one-key solutions for domestic uPVC door and window combinations.
