A Locksmith That Understands Harborne's Property Stock
Harborne has more Victorian and Edwardian properties than most Birmingham suburbs. That's not a problem - it's something we deal with regularly. Older front doors often have original mortice locks or dated cylinder fittings that need careful handling. We don't force what doesn't need forcing, and we source the right hardware for older door types rather than fitting whatever's to hand. Newer properties and replacements are equally common across the area, particularly on larger plots and the streets closer to the university.
Whether the door is 120 years old or fitted last year, we assess the job properly before starting work. Call 0121 369 9878 and we'll give you a clear picture of what's involved.

The Lock on Your Harborne Front Door May Not Be What It Looks Like
Many Harborne properties have been updated over the years – windows replaced, doors changed, cylinders swapped at various points by various people. What’s fitted now isn’t always what you’d choose if you were starting from scratch. Some cylinders that look the part from the outside offer very little real resistance.
Doctor Locks checks what’s actually fitted when we attend and gives you an honest view. If the cylinder is adequate, we’ll say so. If it isn’t, we fit Ultion anti-snap cylinders that carry a £5,000 insurance-backed guarantee.
It’s a straightforward upgrade that takes under half an hour on most doors.
Period wooden doors, composite replacements and modern uPVC - we carry the right hardware for each.
Proper security upgrade with a £5,000 insurance-backed guarantee as standard.

Locksmith Harborne - Frequently Asked Questions
Can you work on older Victorian and Edwardian properties with original lock fittings?
Yes - older mortice locks, night latches and dated cylinder fittings are something we deal with regularly in Harborne and across Birmingham. We assess the fitting before starting work and source hardware that suits the door rather than forcing a modern fix onto an older frame. Call 0121 369 9878 to discuss your property.
My key snapped inside the lock - can you extract it without replacing the whole lock?
In many cases yes. We use specialist extraction tools and will always try to remove the broken key without damaging the barrel first. Whether we can preserve the existing lock depends on its condition once we have access. Call 0121 369 9878 and we'll talk through what's likely before we attend.
Do you cover commercial premises on Harborne High Street?
Yes - we carry out emergency re-securing, lock changes and cylinder replacements for commercial premises across Harborne B17. Call 0121 369 9878 and we'll arrange attendance as quickly as the job requires.
