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.

Lost my front door key on hols so was dreading getting back and having to wait around for a locksmith.

Came within an hour Sunday evening. Explained and showed me the damage that had caused the jam and broken key and gave me a fair quote for the repair. Replaced the lock and handle mechanism and thoroughly checked everything, even adjusted the door mountings as they were out. Brilliant job and smashing fella, wholeheartedly recommend.

Having found that the French doors would not lock on Sunday evening I phoned lock and key Barnsley. I gave a description of the problem and John gave me a quote for what he thought the problem would be but explained if it was something else he may have to adjust the quote. He said he could be with me in 30 minutes, it was actually more like 20 minutes. He checked the lock and confirmed it was the issue we had discussed. John completed the required work promptly and with minimum fuss. He left me with a receipt for the work, after demonstrating the new lock working. Very happy with this service and would recommend.

A Brief History of Great Houghton

Great Houghton might be a small South Yorkshire village, but its 2,500 residents are more than happy with its quieter way of life, peaceful rural atmosphere, and picturesque surroundings. 

The village is not only revered for its strategic location near natural beauty spots (i.e., Brodsworth Hall and Gardens and Phoenix Park). History and cultural buffs also appreciate its colourful local traditions and proximity to well-curated heritage sites.

With a rich past intricately linked to South Yorkshire’s coal mining industry, Great Houghton is a pleasant spot for immersing yourself in the UK’s proud history. The Trans Pennine Trail snakes around the village, allowing cyclists and hikers to stop for a much-needed breather, a sip or two of local cafes’ offerings, and indulge in the fine local foods on offer.

However peaceful, Great Houghton residents can still be victims of crimes, including vehicle-related offences and burglary. For every 1,000 residents, around 9-10 crimes were committed, mostly involving robbery.
