    A great find!

    Posted 1 week ago

    My bifold door lock handle sheared off. I got key force details from check a trade. I phoned Michael that afternoon. He asked me to send photos. 5 minutes later he said he knew what was wrong and would have to get the part. He arrived as arranged at 9am the following morning cheerful. He explained what had happened and why and changed the broken part quickly and efficiently and took away the broken part. I happily paid the bill less than £100. I’m very grateful and have added his details to my contacts a great find.

    After having fallen victim to a cowboy, Michael came and sorted out the lock at a reasonable price. Honest, personable and highly recommended.

Keyforce Locksmiths is a locally owned and operated 24 hour emergency Locksmith business ran by Michael Brown.

I offer a 24 hour 7 day a week service to residential and commercial customers including, Emergency door opening, Faulty locks changed and upgraded where necessary, Free security advice given, Insurance work as well as other services such as automotive non destructive entry. I can also fit locks to wrought iron and can carry out welding which may be required on some projects.

I specialise in UPVC and carry around 80% of all Mortice Locks, Padlocks, Euro Cylinders, Bullet Locks, Roller Shutter Locks, Garage Door Locks and Mechanisms so most jobs can be carried out with one visit but if a second visit is necessary I don't charge extra like some Locksmiths.

The price I give is the price you pay.

I cut Mortice and Cylinder keys on site which is a bonus because the keys can be checked with the lock before I leave the property. Unlike most Locksmiths operating in the Northeast when you ring you speak to me directly and I will answer any questions directly and honestly and will give you step by step advice and options as well as a price over the phone if necessary, then I will personally attend your property and carry out the work.

I also offer you a realistic time scale in which I can get to your property, which in most cases is 30 minutes. Upon arrival you will be pleased to know that the engineer you spoke to on the phone is the engineer who will carry out the work, unlike some companies who have call centre staff with no knowledge of Locksmithing.

I am also an affiliate of ADT, the national alarm company so if you need alarms just speak to me about it.
