Who we are
About The Lock Company
The Lock Company is a professional locksmith business serving homes and businesses across London, Essex and selected parts of Kent. We handle everything from urgent lockouts to planned security upgrades, with engineers who explain what's happening and price the work honestly before it starts.
Our story
A locksmith business built on straightforward service.
The Lock Company was set up to do one thing well: give people a locksmith they can actually rely on. That means engineers who turn up, explain the problem clearly, and fix it properly first time wherever that's possible — not a call centre reading from a script.
Over time, that approach has let us grow from emergency call-outs into a fuller range of residential and commercial locksmith work across London, Essex and parts of Kent, while keeping the same principle at the centre of every job: do right by the person who called us.
We'd rather explain the honest option than sell an upgrade nobody needs.See what we do
What we believe
The principles behind every visit.
A locksmith visit often happens on a bad day — a lockout, a break-in, a lock that's suddenly stopped working. What we believe shapes how we handle that, not just which tools we bring.
Customer-first approach
Every recommendation starts with what you actually need, not what's easiest for us to sell.
Reliability
If we say we'll be there, we'll be there — and if something changes, we'll tell you.
Professional workmanship
Locks and doors are checked properly before any work begins, not assumed from a description over the phone.
Transparency
You'll know the price and the reasoning behind it before anything is fitted or replaced.
Security
Every recommendation is judged on whether it genuinely makes your property safer, not on how much it costs.

Why customers choose us
It's about what happens when you call.

We work with anyone who needs a lock or door sorted properly — from a single household to a portfolio of managed properties.

Commitment to quality
Standards that don't change from job to job.
Every engineer works to the same professional standard, whatever the job — that means checking the actual lock and door in front of them, not assuming the fix from a description of the fault alone. We keep engineers up to date on the hardware and techniques they use, and fit locks and security hardware to recognised British Standards as a default, not as an optional extra.
None of that matters unless you're satisfied with the outcome. If something isn't right, we want to know.
