We Never Use Sub-Contractors
Using subcontractors can pose several risks, including inconsistent service quality, security concerns, and potential damage to reputation. Since subcontractors may not always adhere to the same training standards, techniques, or customer service protocols as the we do, this can result in unsatisfactory workmanship or delays.
Additionally, if background checks are not thoroughly conducted, there’s an increased risk of security breaches or untrustworthy individuals handling sensitive customer information.
At Lock & Key Barnsley you can be assured that all our locksmiths are fully employed by us direct. We will never use sub-contractors to carry out work on our behalf.

Today, Ardsley retains much of its charm while offering easy access to nearby attractions including Elsecar Heritage Centre which highlights South Yorkshire’s industrial history, while Worsbrough Mill and Cannon Hall combine history with the most picturesque of outdoor settings.
