Borough is not one type of building repeated street after street. Knight & Falcon Locksmiths knows this well. Converted warehouse apartments near the market often still carry original locking hardware, sometimes untouched for 15 to 20 years. The residential towers near The Shard almost always run modern multipoint systems instead, which fail differently, usually a worn gearbox rather than a fault with the lock itself. We identify which type of property we are attending before recommending any repair, not after guessing.
We are DBS checked, fully insured, and every job carries a 12 month warranty. There is no call out fee, and we attempt non destructive entry first wherever the lock and door condition allow it.
Locked out? We’re on our way. Lockouts happen at any hour, and a lost key does not wait for a convenient moment. We attempt non destructive entry first, using picking or bypass techniques suited to the specific lock type. Drilling is only used where the mechanism has genuinely failed internally, and we confirm this with you before doing it, not after.
Shutter stuck? Borough Market traders, we’ve got you. A jammed shutter before opening hours is a direct financial problem for a food trader or restaurant near the market, and we treat it as a priority call out rather than a standard job. Shutter locks seize most often in cold weather or from heavy daily use, and forcing a frozen mechanism usually turns a simple repair into a full replacement.
We upgrade existing locks to BS3621 British Standard anti snap cylinders, which resist snapping, drilling, and picking. This applies to both older converted buildings and newer developments, assessed individually rather than a single approach applied across the board.
A multipoint mechanism that starts to catch or requires extra force to lock is one of the most common faults in Borough’s newer buildings. Left unaddressed, this strain builds until the mechanism fails completely. We check the lock, the hinges, and the door alignment together, since a door that has dropped slightly on its hinges will keep straining a perfectly good lock.
We tell you the price before we start, not after. There is no call out fee, and the cost of the actual work is confirmed once the technician has assessed the job, never adjusted upward once we have arrived.
We are upfront about our credentials without being asked. Every technician has passed an Enhanced DBS check and holds full insurance, information we volunteer rather than only supplying on request.
We attempt non destructive entry as standard, not as an upsell. Drilling is a last resort, used only when a lock has genuinely failed internally, and we explain this to you before it happens.
Every job carries a 12 month warranty on parts and labour, regardless of whether the work is a residential lock change or a commercial shutter repair.
