Chiswick · W4
A key that catches, a door that needs a shove, or no way back inside? BMS Locksmiths helps Chiswick W4 homes and businesses with emergency entry, lock repairs and planned changes. Tell us what the door is doing, and we’ll discuss the visit and the work you need.
24/7 emergency callouts · Planned visits by arrangement
Homes, rentals & business premises
We handle urgent access problems and planned work on the doors you use every day. Describe the symptom before deciding which part needs replacing: the key, lock, handle and door position all help us understand the enquiry.
If the door has shut behind you, tell us whether it was also locked with a key. We assess how to gain entry and aim to avoid damage where possible. Where a damaged lock needs replacing, we explain that work and its cost before going ahead. Call for emergency availability at any hour.
A key that needs several attempts, a loose fitting or a lock that no longer engages properly deserves a closer look. We inspect the existing hardware and discuss repair or replacement. For a planned change, let us know which keys you want to replace and any written specification you need to meet.
Call if an attempted entry has damaged your door lock or left the entrance unable to secure. Describe the lock and any visible damage to the frame or door. We assess what lock work can be carried out and explain if the damage needs additional attention beyond the fitting itself.
We arrange repairs, lock changes and key-control enquiries for Chiswick shops, offices and hospitality premises. Tell us how a faulty entrance affects opening or closing, and who can approve the work. Planned appointments can be discussed around access arrangements; urgent faults should be reported by phone.
Once you have the keys to a new W4 home, list the outside doors and note which key opens each one. We can discuss changes to the relevant locks or cylinders, the new key sets you need and any shared entrance arrangements. The scope and price are agreed for the doors involved.
If you have to pull, push or lift the door before the lock works, describe that when you call. We check the fitting and how the door meets the frame, rather than assume a new lock alone will resolve it. Any proposed adjustment or replacement is explained after assessing the cause.
Our home locksmith services cover further repair and fitting enquiries. Read about commercial access work or uPVC and multipoint lock faults for those entrances.
Describe the symptom before choosing a replacement
Does the key turn freely until the door is closed? Do you have to lift the handle or pull the door towards you? Those details are useful when arranging a repair. We inspect the lock alongside the door’s operation before discussing the fitting or adjustment that may be needed.
The photograph shows lock work at the edge of a timber door. For your own enquiry, send pictures of the inside, outside and visible edge fittings. They help us understand the existing arrangement; the final assessment is made at the door.
Arrange a locksmith visitFor a planned upgrade, send any written lock requirement as well. We discuss suitable hardware for the existing door before you choose. See our guide to choosing a lock.

Before you call
Call with your full W4 address for current availability. From our Shepherd’s Bush base, arrival in Chiswick is usually possible in around 30 minutes, depending on traffic, the jobs already under way and availability. We confirm the estimated time on the phone before arranging the callout.
Yes, tell us that difference when you enquire, along with any need to push or lift the door. We assess the lock and its position against the frame before proposing work. Do not keep forcing the key; if the door cannot be secured or opened, phone to discuss an urgent visit.
Start with the outside doors and the keys supplied at handover. Tell us about any rear, side or shared entrance as well as the front door. We can discuss the relevant locks or cylinders and how many new key sets you need, rather than assume every fitting requires the same replacement.
We assess the affected lock and explain the proposed repair or replacement. If the door or frame damage prevents a suitable fitting or secure operation, we explain that too. Additional door work may be needed; a replacement lock should not be presented as a complete remedy for unrelated damage.
Yes. Give us the business address, the entrances involved and the authorised contact. Explain any access or opening-time constraints, and whether the job concerns a fault, new keys or a planned upgrade. We discuss the appointment and hardware before agreeing the work.
No. The guide gives starting labour charges: £80 for house lockout entry, £90 for a front or back door lock repair, and £110 for a fresh mortice lock or night latch installation. Locks and parts are additional. There is no call-out charge and no VAT is added, as BMS Locksmiths is not VAT registered. Confirm the full cost for your job before proceeding.
