Now owned by Chris Evans, our company has grown by maintaining a simple promise: a fair price, a fast arrival, and work that lasts. Every locksmith on our team is City & Guilds qualified and DBS-checked. Our status as a preferred contractor for major letting agents means we have a deep understanding of Streatham's rental stock. We know how to handle communal entrance systems and master key suites, and we always provide the necessary documentation for landlords and insurers. We don't use subcontractors, so you always get a Bow Locks expert. - Family-run for 25 years, founded by Billy Evans - Typical 30-minute response time across Streatham SW16 - All work and parts covered by a 3-year warranty - Clear pricing from £48 agreed before we set off - Available 24/7, 365 days a year for emergencies Local conditions ## Property-specific lock challenges in Streatham ### Art Deco door hardware and heritage locks Buildings like Pullman Court and other inter-war blocks in Streatham often feature original door furniture and lock cases that are no longer in production. When these fail, a standard replacement often won't fit without unsightly modification to the door. We maintain a stock of heritage-compatible parts and have the skills to repair original lock cases whenever possible. If a replacement is essential, we source high-quality hardware that respects the aesthetic of the building while providing modern security levels. ### High Road dust and commercial lock jams Streatham High Road is one of the busiest thoroughfares in London. The constant traffic creates a high volume of road dust and grit that finds its way into the locks and shutter mechanisms of the shops lining the street. This grit acts as an abrasive, wearing down the internal pins of cylinders and jamming the sliders in shutter locks. We recommend regular dry-lubrication servicing for these commercial units to prevent the costly situation where a shop cannot open or close due to a seized lock. ### Edwardian frame movement in the Vale The houses in Streatham Vale and the surrounding residential streets are built on soil that can cause significant seasonal movement. During dry spells, timber frames shrink, and in wet winters, they swell, leading to doors that 'bind' against their keeps. When a Streatham resident has to lift the handle or lean on the door to lock it, the internal mechanism is being forced. This eventually leads to a snapped cam or a sheared bolt. We realign these doors to restore effortless operation, saving the lock from an early death. Our process ## How a Streatham call-out works 01 ### Call and describe the door A locksmith answers, not a call centre. Tell us the door, the lock and the postcode, and you get a price and a realistic arrival time before anything is agreed. 02 ### We attend, typically within 30 minutes We work out of E16 and cover London 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. Every locksmith on the team is City & Guilds qualified and DBS-checked. 03 ### Inspection and diagnosis on site The lock, the door and the frame are checked together, because the fault is frequently the alignment rather than the mechanism. You are told what has failed before work starts. 04 ### The work, then testing on the closed door Non-destructive methods first. Everything is then tested locked and unlocked from both sides with the door shut — the state it actually lives in. 05 ### Sign-off, warranty and keys handed over Every key that works the lock, a clear price with nothing added afterwards, and our 3-year warranty on the work and the locks fitted. All payment types accepted. Questions ## Locksmith in Streatham — your questions answered ### Are you available 24/7 in Streatham?
