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 Dodworth
Dodworth is a quaint village with an upbeat suburban vibe. Forming Barnsley’s western outskirts, this village creates a pleasant atmosphere, perfect for raising families and starting a small business. Many laud Dodworth for its rich cultural mining heritage which is still prevelant via the renwowned Dodworth Miners Colliery Brass Band.
Today, Dodworth is blessed with local enterprises, and an active community spirit. A small South Yorkshire village brimming with pride combined with an excellent blend of historical interests and commercial centres.
A coal mining village in the late 14th century, Dodworth grew to become an economic powerhouse in this part of South Yorkshire. The Dodworth Business Park now occupies the once-mighty coal mining pit, surrounded by majestic birch trees and verdant scrubs.
Today, private housing estates Strafford Walk, Baslow Crescent, and other locations are a haven for individuals and families who love Dodworth’s exciting mix of rural charm and suburban convenience. Monuments, like those honouring the 1866 Oaks Colliery disaster, dot the landscape, while the Experience Barnsley Museum, Locke Park, and Wentworth Castle Gardens are only a few minutes from the village centre by car.
Dodworth has a calming presence where one can sit and relax without a care in the world. It’s more tranquil than Barnsley, where the town registered around 174 burglaries per 1,000 people in 2023. One in three burglaries involved forcible entry through locked doors and windows. Residents and businesses in neighbouring communities, like Dodworth, are naturally concerned.
No need to fret. This village has a reliable partner in securing their prized possessions against property crimes, from houses and commercial premises to vehicles – Lock & Key Barnsley provide professional locksmiths in the Dodworth area and can be on location in under 60 minutes for any emergencies.
Our City & Guilds, highly trained local Dodworth locksmiths understand the fear and anxiety that the risk of property crimes can bring to the community. Leveraging this appreciation, our master locksmiths comprehensively assess existing lock systems and other physical security measures. Such activities are necessary to determine the best approach to beef up security, from heavy-duty deadbolts to tamper-proof locking systems, keyless access platforms, and smart technologies.
You can rely on our DBS checked locksmiths to maintain and upgrade your security systems while ensuring you won’t get locked out of your property for extended periods. Dodworth residents need never feel vulnerable inside and outside their properties.
More importantly, our team of dedicated locksmiths in Dodworth play an important role in fostering a sense of peace within the village and strengthening the community spirit.
