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.

19:46 09 Jun 24
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.

Quotation about Barnsley, South Yorkshire

A Brief History of Grimethorpe

Grimethorpe stands as an enduring testament to South Yorkshire’s remarkable resilience, from heart-breaking, tear-jerking pit closures in the 1980s and 1990s to a massive Park Springs Industrial Estate and Dearne Valley link roads transforming the once-coal thriving coal mining driven village into a sprawling modern 21st-century community.

Although no longer a coal miner’s haven, Grimethorpe carries symbols of its colourful and storied past like the 1996 film “Brassed Off” immortalising the 1917-established Grimethorpe Colliery Brass Band. 

Monuments, both big and small, dot the landscape, reminding locals and informing visitors of Grimethorpe’s rich coal mining heritage. Local festivals and neighbourhood events keep the community spirit alive while reinforcing their robust cultural roots.

Grimethorpe might not have urban amenities, but Barnsley is only 9.9 a few miles to the west-southwest. Families can take a 10-minute drive and let their children enjoy theme parks and amusement centres in this South Yorkshire town.

Compared to its south-westerly neighbour, Grimethorpe’s security situation paints a rosier picture, with recent data logging low levels of vehicle-related crimes and burglaries. While such crimes are rare, Grimethorpe residents remain vigilant to ensure such crimes are kept to a minimum. 

The most effective solution for residents and businesses alike? Engage with Lock & Key Barnsley and our local Grimethorpe locksmiths. Our expert locksmiths have your community and safety interests at heart. 

Professionally trained and City & Guilds Accredited, our lock and key experts in Grimethorpe will help secure your prized possessions with more robust mechanisms, heavy-duty hardware, and well-thought-out security improvement strategies. They will start with a comprehensive assessment of your existing security mechanisms to zero in on vulnerabilities. 

Locksmiths who understand Grimethorpe’s unique security landscape can replace locks with robust designs while reinforcing ingress points like windows and doors with more secure locking hardware. A touch of 21st-century smart technology is available, too, especially for homeowners and business owners who want only the best for their property security.

Getting locked out of your property, including vehicles, can be embarrassing. Never worry because our master locksmiths are available 24 hours a day and can rescue you from such situations and be with you in under 60 minutes. If you need a more robust security system for your prized possessions, Barnsley’s leading local locksmiths have your back.

Safeguarding Grimethorpe’s diverse and peace-loving community is essential in its continuing march to 21st-century progress. Our team of master locksmiths hold the key.
