Be Assured - 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.

A Brief History of Dearne Valley
Dearne Valley, nestled within Barnsley, South Yorkshire, boasts a rich tapestry of cultural heritage and community spirit. One of its standout events is the Wath Festival, an annual folk and acoustic music celebration that began in 1972. Held around the early May bank holiday, this festival has grown over the decades, attracting notable artists such as Dougie MacLean and Eddi Reader. In 2013, it earned the title of Village Festival of the Year at the FATEA Awards, underscoring its significance in the folk music scene.
The area is also home to the RSPB’s Old Moor nature reserve, located just a mile northwest of Wath upon Dearne. This reserve offers visitors a chance to immerse themselves in local wildlife and enjoy the serene wetlands, making it a cherished landmark for both residents and tourists.
In terms of notable figures, Sir Michael Parkinson, a distinguished broadcaster and journalist, hails from this region. His illustrious career has brought attention to the area, and his contributions have been celebrated locally, including special recognitions at events like the Proud of Barnsley Awards.
Despite its cultural vibrancy, Dearne Valley has faced challenges with crime, particularly burglary and vehicle-related offenses. Recent statistics indicate that while some areas have seen a decrease in such crimes, others continue to grapple with these issues. For instance, in October 2023, the Barnsley South East district, encompassing areas like Goldthorpe and Thurnscoe, reported 252 crimes, a decrease from 326 in the same month two years prior. However, burglaries saw a slight uptick, with 22 incidents compared to 17 previously. Conversely, vehicle crimes in Barnsley South dropped from 70 to 37 over the same period.
Given these dynamics, it’s crucial for both residents and businesses in Dearne Valley to prioritise security measures. Investing in robust security not only safeguards property but also fosters a sense of safety within the community.
Our team of local locksmiths play a pivotal role in this endeavor. Their expertise extends beyond merely changing locks; they conduct comprehensive security assessments, install high-quality locking mechanisms, and provide tailored solutions to address specific vulnerabilities.
By collaborating with the experts at Lock & Barnsley, property owners can ensure that their premises are protected against potential threats, thereby contributing to the overall well-being and resilience of the Dearne Valley community.
