Holland Park · W11
A locked front door, an old key set you want to retire or a garden entrance that won’t secure? BMS Locksmiths helps Holland Park W11 homes and premises with urgent access and planned lock work. Tell us which entrances need attention and what you would like to keep.

Homes, rentals & business premises
Lock work can involve more than choosing a new front-door fitting. We discuss the doors included, the appearance you want to retain and who needs keys, then agree suitable work for the existing hardware.
Shut out of your home in Holland Park? Tell us whether the door was pulled shut or locked with a key. We choose an entry approach after assessing the fitting, aiming to limit damage where possible. Mention any fault that occurred before the lockout so we can discuss the work as well as access.
You may want to keep a familiar handle, escutcheon or painted finish while changing the lock behind it. Send photographs of the fittings you would like to retain. We check compatible options and explain any visible alterations before agreeing the work; an unseen replacement is not possible on every door.
A front door is only one part of a property’s key arrangements. For a move or a lost set of keys, list the rear, side and garden entrances too. We discuss which fittings need a key change, whether rekeying or replacement is appropriate, and the number of new keys required.
For an office or gallery enquiry, identify the entrance, the existing hardware and the person authorising the visit. We discuss lock repairs, replacement fittings and suitable key arrangements for the premises. Include opening or access hours so a planned appointment can be agreed around the building’s use.
A property manager, housekeeper or PA can help arrange a visit with the owner or authorised contact. Agree who approves the work, who provides access and who receives the keys. If several doors are involved, send a short list so the appointment and proposed cost cover the intended job.
A stiff gate lock or unreliable garden-door latch needs a look at the fitting and how the entrance closes. Send a photograph of the lock and describe whether the gate catches, sags or fails to secure. We discuss suitable hardware for the existing arrangement and its exposure before recommending a replacement.

Before changing the keys to a property
When you move in or lose a set of keys, it helps to walk through the property’s access arrangements. Which key opens the front door? Is there a separate rear entrance, side gate or garden door? A list lets us discuss the relevant fittings without overlooking an entrance or replacing hardware unnecessarily.
You may also want to retain existing visible door furniture. The photograph shows Banham-branded hardware on a white painted door from our work. For your own replacement, send clear pictures and identify any fitting you want to keep; we check the available options before promising a match.
Arrange a locksmith visitIf you have a written lock specification, send it with the photographs so it can be considered alongside the existing door. Read our lock options guide.
A starting point for the cost
Labour from£80
House entry labour starts here; explain how the door was locked.
Labour from£90
Starting labour for repair to the assessed front or back door lock.
Labour from£110
Fresh installation labour, with the selected lock charged separately.
These are starting labour figures, not an inclusive price for a whole-property key change. Locks and parts are charged separately; gate, office and multi-door enquiries need a price for their own scope. We charge no call-out fee and add no VAT because BMS Locksmiths is not VAT registered. Agree the complete cost before work begins.
Before you call
We usually aim to reach Holland Park in around 30 minutes from Shepherd’s Bush, subject to traffic, availability and jobs already under way. Call with your complete W11 address and explain which entrance is affected. We confirm an estimated arrival time for your callout when you speak to us.
Sometimes, depending on the lock, door and replacement required. Send photographs of the inside, outside and visible door edge, and point out the fittings you want to retain. We check compatibility and explain any changes to the appearance before the job is agreed.
Start by listing the entrances and deciding which old keys should no longer work. The appropriate work may be a cylinder change, rekeying where available or a replacement lock, depending on each fitting. We discuss that plan with you rather than assume every complete lock must be replaced.
Yes. Provide the authorised contact, the full address and the doors included in the enquiry. Agree who can approve the cost, who will meet the locksmith and who receives any new keys. If the contact arranging the visit is different from the owner, clarify the authorisation before booking.
Contact us with photographs of the gate, the lock and its closing arrangement. Tell us what has stopped working and whether the entrance can still be secured. We assess the fitting and gate operation before discussing repair or a suitable replacement; the front-door price guide is not a quote for every gate job.
List the doors, the proposed work and the key sets required so we can discuss the complete job. Our starting labour prices are £80 for house lockout entry, £90 for front or back door lock repair and £110 for a fresh mortice lock or night latch installation. Parts cost extra. There is no call-out fee and no VAT is added because we are not VAT registered. Confirm the full price for your arrangement before proceeding.
