Locksmithing Locally

Our team take pride in ensuring that you feel safe in your home, and our returning customers put their continual trust in our name.
Locks to Suit Every Property
KC Brighton Locksmiths are able to work with any type of lock you already have installed – our experienced team can handle traditional locks such as Chubb or Yale, yet are also trained to install and maintain Mul -T locks that suit buildings that require a more complex, high level of security. The KC Brighton Locksmiths team carry a large selection of parts in their vans so that they are able to help you in any event that may need us.While we offer emergency call-outs as a standard locksmithing service, you can also call us to change your locks and doors or provide a full security consultation for your home or place of work. We want to ensure that your business never has to deal with the trauma of a break-in. Whether you are a national, corporate or private business, we want to help you find the best solutions in locks and keys, surveillance and security systems. With homeowners’ properties becoming more and more unique, so too are the doors and locks that come with them. Many people who have recently moved to a new house often do not know how their locks work and as a result, we often receive calls from customers that think their lock is broken or faulty, only to find out their locks operate in a slightly different way. KC Brighton Locksmiths are sometimes called out to homeowners with uPVC doors that are thought to be faulty. The mechanism on uPVC doors often appears that the hooks are not moving correctly when the door handle is lifted, and customers do not realise that the throw bolts do not move in to the locking position unless the door is closed. These types of doors have a ‘snib’, meaning that the door has to be fully closed for the throw bolts to compress. Our team can advise you in person and show you how your uPVC door locks operate and engage.
Doors and Windows in all Styles
Many homeowners have turned to having uPVC doors and windows installed for their many benefits, however, KC Brighton Locksmiths are specialists in maintaining and installing both uPVC and Wooden doors. While wooden doors are becoming less common, for those that do have them, it is absolutely crucial that you have a new, British Standard deadlock and night latch fitted to keep your levels of home security as high as possible.Despite the efforts we take, both as professionals and as homeowners in the community, we do know that sadly, opportunist break-ins sometimes occur. If the worst were to ever happen, KC Brighton Locksmiths have forty years’ experience, making them one of the most credible locksmiths in the area. We are trustworthy and reliable, and we can ensure you that your home or place of work can be made secure once more with replacement lock and security systems replaced at a moment’s notice.
