    UPVC Doors Repair

    Posted 01 August

    A great professional service

    Dave came to sort out an issue with a conservatory door. Arrived at the property at the agreed time. Door had dropped. He adjusted hinges, heel and toed the door and adjusted the keeps. Very professional and would recommend his services and would use again

    Stop door from requiring to be slammed shut.

    Darren arrived when promised and explained the problem with the door before starting work. He tried to fix it without needing to replace parts but unfortunately this is what was needed. Good job done and the door doesn’t need to be slammed anymore. Thanks for your help.

    Lock Repair

    Replace door lock on 1930s door

    Dave was meticulous and efficient. He immediately identified that the door in question was almost 100 years old and required sensitive handling. He was very much on time and scrupulous in his tidying up. I wouldn’t hesitate to use this company again.

    Windows and Doors

    Multiple window repairs

    Dave came out to give quotes on some things that needed fixing in a newly purchased house, and ended up doing the main repairs the same day for a fair price. Polite, did the work to a great standard, and a very reasonable price.

Hi, I'm Dave @DW Locksmiths. I'm a locally run emergency locksmith business so you'll speak directly to me when you call and not some national company offering you an "engineer" within the hour.


I pride myself on excellent customer service and will only leave once you're happy.


Experience of over 10 years


I always aim to get to you asap in an emergency which realistically is normally within the hour.


I can give you a quote over the phone but prefer to see the job myself as sometimes the information given is not quite correct, which could have a bearing on price.


Free quotes and estimates offered


Once I've seen the job and assessed it then the price given is the price you pay with no hidden fees, even if a second visit is required.


I cover all aspects of UPVC windows/doors, wooden doors, garage doors, smart locks, roller shutters and free security advice/checks if and when required.


I have a fully stocked van which enables me to complete 80-90% of work there and then.


All my work comes with a 12 months parts and labour guarantee for your peace of mind and no VAT added.
