A local family owned locksmith based in Epsom, Surrey, run by master locksmith and door repairs expert John Brewer. Whilst searching for a local locksmith in Epsom you have probably already stumbled across the numerous national lock franchises pretending to be based here. Firstly I would strongly recommend calling a few local locksmiths like ourselves to get some proper quotations for your lock work.
These large franchises are best avoided, acting as middlemen they demand a high premium to find a locksmith in Epsom to complete your work. If your call went through to a receptionist or they didn't sound like they knew the area very well then chances are it was a locksmith call centre. So as a locally based locksmith in Epsom we are offering not only the best rates in Surrey but also a reliable, trustworthy and punctual locksmith service.
We have a great reputation to uphold so you can expect nothing more than a five star locksmith service and our testimonials reflect our dedication to the local community.

Always leave a spare key with a neighbour rather than try to hide it under a flowerpot or a doormat, as these are the first places that thieves will look.
For the same reason don't be tempted to hang a spare key inside the letterbox.
Taking basic precautions such as remembering to close all windows and locking back doors before leaving the house are incredibly important as thieves will take any opportunity left available to them.
Remember to fit appropriate locks to the top and bottom of patio doors if they don't already have a multi locking system.

To know which size you have on your door, measure the distance between the edge of the door and the centre of the keyhole.
If this distance is 44mm then you'll have a narrow stile nightlatch.
If the distance is 60mm then you'll have a standard stile nightlatch.
The following paragraphs only deal with the 'cylinder' nightlatches, not the 'old fashioned' oblong shaped levered rim locks and latches that you may find fitted onto very thin doors in old houses (often internal doors).
Rim nightlatches are sometimes referred to as 'Yale' locks, but of course Yale makes lots of different locks and lots of different lock manufacturers make rim locks!
