Recent jobs in Leek

Real jobs from my records: what was wrong, and what I did about it. Every job is checked first, and the price agreed before I start.

Recent job
Snapped key: lock saved
What I did. I extracted the broken section and checked the cylinder for damage. Then I tested the lock with a spare key and checked the door for any resistance that could strain a key.
The result. The customer kept their existing lock. No replacement parts were needed.

Damaged lock after a break-in: secured with a new cylinder
What I found. The cylinder was damaged. The handles, the rest of the locking mechanism and the door itself were all still sound.
The result. The door locked again, with new keys and the usable hardware kept.

I’m Brett, based in Forsbrook, and Leek is part of my regular work area. Tell me what has happened and whether the property is secure so we can discuss the right next step.

Homes and holiday lets

I also work with holiday-let and apartment owners around Leek, the Roaches and Alton Towers. If you need a lock changed or guest access arranged, the holiday-let guide explains what to tell me. Key safes are usually £110–£140 supplied and fitted, depending on the product and installation.

Window and door repairs

A window handle that turns without securing the window needs checking; it isn’t automatically a handle-only fault. Window mechanism replacement usually costs £90–£120 per window, supplied and fitted.

For door faults, describe the key and handle and whether the door opens. I’ll inspect it, explain the options and agree the work and price first. If a gearbox or full mechanism replacement is needed on a door initially stuck shut, opening it is included.

Calling from Leek

There is no call-out or distance charge. Prices are unchanged at night, weekends and bank holidays, and my work has a 12-month guarantee covering parts and labour.

Call Brett on 07456 807068 for urgent help, or request a planned visit.

We contacted Bret based on previous reviews and wanting a local independent locksmith and pleased that we did! It turns out our mechanism on our front door had failed and was stuck shut (luckily we had a back door key!) Bret diagnosed the problem, ordered the part and returned the next day to install. Super communication throughout and happy with what he charged. Highly recommend.

Great service! I rang Bret to give me a quote on a lock that my key kept getting stuck in, he said he would be about an hour he kept me up to date with a message saying 30 minutes away within the hour he was here. Brett had a look at my front door locking mechanism, to cut a long story short he said that I was putting the key in the wrong position to open the door that’s why my key kept getting stuck in the lock…….I felt such an idiot felt as if I had wasted his time , but what a genuine professional guy Brett is offering his quick assistance, you rarely come across that honesty these days. No hesitation recommending Bret to anyone, first class tradesman Thankyou.

If ever you have any issues with your door or locks at home, Brett is your man for the job. Honest , reliable and trustworthy and he completed a top top job. The door has never opened or closed so well. I had a secondary issue with the door that the frame was slightly out and causing more pressure on the opening and close (seal) and Brett was able to fix and resolve with great knowledge and confidence. Would definitely recommend to anyone. Thanks Brett for your great work.

Fast, professional and friendly service. Front door gearing replaced the same day (just a few hours after the initial call) and reasonably priced. I highly recommend this locksmith.
