Locksmith Services
Guardian Edge provides locksmith services across the UK — emergency lockouts, lock changes at tenancy turnover, master suiting for managed buildings, and repair of the door hardware that causes most 'lock problems' in the first place.
Lockouts, lock changes, suiting and the door that never quite closed.
Who this is for
- Letting agents and landlords at tenancy changeover
- Managing agents running master suited buildings
- Commercial occupiers after a lost key or a departure
- Anyone locked out of a building or a plant room
Problems it solves
- A key has gone missing and the whole suite is now compromised
- Locks have never been changed between tenancies
- The insurer requires a specific lock standard that is not fitted
- The door drags and the lock is blamed

Before we price anything
Inspection & survey process
- 01
Establish the actual fault
A lock that will not turn is frequently a door alignment problem. Replacing the cylinder does not fix it.
On site
How the work is delivered
- 01
Attend and resolve
Access gained, hardware repaired or replaced, and the door left working properly.
- 02
Key register updated
For suited buildings, the key register is updated so the suite stays managed rather than drifting.
Compliance
What the rules actually require
- Insurance policies frequently specify BS 3621 or equivalent locks on final exit doors. Fitting below the specified standard can affect a claim.
- Locks fitted to fire doors must not prevent free egress on an escape route.
Standards & legislation
These are not all the same kind of obligation, and we do not present them as if they were. A statutory duty is law. A British Standard is the recognised way of demonstrating you have met one. Guidance and our own recommendations are neither.
- British StandardBS 3621
Thief resistant lock assemblies — key egress
The standard most commonly specified by UK insurers for final exit doors.
Ongoing support
Planned, reactive and multi-site.
Most providers do one of these well. The value of a single provider is that the schedule, the emergency and the portfolio all sit in the same place.
Planned maintenance
- Lock change programmes at tenancy turnover
- Suite management for managed buildings
Reactive support
- 24-hour lockout attendance
- Emergency lock replacement after a break-in
Multi-site & national portfolios
- One arrangement covering lock changes across an entire portfolio
Procurement, simplified
