Locksmith
A full overview of what a Knightsbridge Locksmiths engineer can do on site, from a two-minute latch slip to a complete lock installation.
Locksmith Services — Knightsbridge, Belgravia & Chelsea
Locksmith Services
Locksmithing has no mandatory licence in the UK. Anyone can buy a set of picks, print a van sticker, and call themselves a locksmith — which makes it genuinely difficult to know who you're letting near your door. This section sets out plainly who we are, where we're based, and what we can actually demonstrate before you book us, rather than simply asking you to take our word for it.
Who We Are & Where We Cover
Locksmith London
Our wider London coverage — the door types, lock standards and job types we handle beyond our core SW1, SW3 and SW7 postcodes.
London Locksmith
Locksmith cover for London addresses outside Knightsbridge and Belgravia, worked by the same team from Montpelier Street.
The Rest of Our Services
This overview section sits alongside the practical work we do day to day. If you already know what you need, these are the quickest routes there:
House & Home
Residential locksmith work for flats, mews houses and period terraces — lockouts, lost keys, lock changes and more.
Emergency Locksmith
Genuine 24/7 cover for lockouts, break-ins and failed locks across SW1, SW3 and SW7.
Commercial
Locksmith support for shopfronts, offices and hospitality premises, scheduled around your trading hours.
Security Systems
CCTV, video intercoms and security grilles fitted alongside our locksmith work.
Checkable, Not Just Claimed
We work from a real, listed address — 4 Montpelier Street, London SW7 1EE — rather than a mobile number and a vague "London" service area. Our engineers show identification on arrival, and every price is agreed with you on the phone before anyone travels. If you're comparing us against another locksmith, these are reasonable things to ask any of them.
Why Knightsbridge Chooses Us
A real address
4 Montpelier Street, SW7 1EE — not a call centre forwarding your job to a stranger.
Priced before we travel
Quoted against the door you describe, out-of-hours rate included where relevant.
Our own engineers
Every job across SW1, SW3 and SW7 is worked by our own team, not a subcontractor network.
Insurance-grade hardware
Locks named by make and standard on the invoice, matched to what your policy requires.
Non-destructive first
Picking and bypass before drilling — your existing lock usually still works when we leave.
15–30 minutes across SW
An honest number, rather than an optimistic one, if you're further out across London.

Locksmith Services — Frequently Asked Questions
Are locksmiths in the UK required to hold a licence?
No — locksmithing is not a licensed trade in the UK, which means anyone can advertise themselves as one. We'd encourage you to check for a real trading address, identifiable engineers, and clear pricing before booking anyone, including us.
Where are you actually based?
4 Montpelier Street, London SW7 1EE. This is a genuine, checkable address, not a virtual office or a call-answering service.
Do you cover areas outside Knightsbridge?
Yes — see our Locksmith London and London Locksmith pages for our wider coverage beyond SW1, SW3 and SW7.
How do I know the price won't change once you arrive?
We agree the price with you on the phone, based on the door and issue you describe, before anyone travels. That figure is what appears on the invoice.
Do your engineers carry identification?
Yes, our engineers can show identification on arrival — always worth asking of any locksmith attending your property.
Not Sure Which Service You Need?
Describe the door and what's happened. We'll tell you which job it is, what it costs, and how long we'll be.
