Bexley & Sidcup Key

I started as an apprentice locksmith way back in 1979 completing locksmith bench work for 3 years, then I went out with a qualified locksmith to learn the skills of lock fitting & lock opening. It took me one & half hours to fit my first mortice deadlock! Don't worry its only 20 minutes these days.

In 1993 I felt I needed a new challenge and wanted to start my own business. I moved to Sidcup and started the process of building a company of my own. It takes time, money and patience but I think has been worth all my time and effort. The disheartening thing that has happened to the locksmith trade has been the bad press that has over the past eight years or so crept in. We have plenty of what I call "Rogue Traders" mainly sent out by (call centres or nationals) 80% of their engineers have little or no knowledge in locksmith work.
