We Never Use Sub-Contractors
Using subcontractors can pose several risks, including inconsistent service quality, security concerns, and potential damage to reputation.

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.

A Brief History of Athersley
Nestled on South Yorkshire’s northern corridor and a part of Barnsley’s urban landscape, Athersley has come a long way from being a heavily forested area in the 13th century before slowly transforming into a thriving farmland. By the late 1940s, dense woodlands gave way to housing projects, giving shelter to the village’s current 3,000 or so residents.
Laithes Lane divides the village into North and South, creating miniature communities where urban development blends with a variety of natural wonders. Creeks and ponds dot the surrounding landscape, providing a safe refuge for diverse wildlife, including birds and water creatures. Chief of these natural features is the Carlton Marshes, where nature lovers can marvel at the rich ecosystem.
Athersley might not be popular for colourful events and notable landmarks, but its story reflects the community’s resilience, adaptation to change, and enviable collaboration among residents.
Athersley isn’t immune to crimes since it’s part of Barnsley with 131 crimes per 1,000 people. While Athersley crime rates are lower than city stats, crimes exist, especially against properties like homes, offices, businesses, and vehicles.
Residents and businesses work hard as a community to implement proactive security measures to safeguard their homes and businesses against burglary, theft, and other property crimes. High-quality locks and systems and other robust security solutions are crucial for ensuring residential and business safety and peace of mind. Our highly skilled and duly City and Guilds accredited locksmiths are the perfect partners in such endeavours.

Beyond installations, repairs, and maintenance, our locksmiths can recommend a variety of proven solutions to prevent break-ins, but only after a free comprehensive assessment of your property’s existing lock and security platform.

Leverage one of our expert local locksmiths today to help you face the community’s unique security challenges.
