Fortify Locksmiths
I'm a genuine local locksmith and UPVC window and door repair specialist covering most of the North East. When you call you will speak directly to me the locksmith that will attend your property. I'm qualified, insured, registered with the Master Locksmith Association and DBS checked (formerly CRB) so you know you're in safe hands.

There are many reasons why you will want to have your locks changed; sometimes it's an emergency, for example you may have lost, mislaid or had your keys stolen and need a locksmith to attend your home straight away. Other times i.e. moving home can be less urgent but are just as important and can be booked in for the day you move or soon after.
Services
So, you've lost your keys, they may have been stolen, misplaced or accidentally left somewhere that it's not possible to get them. I know the stress it involves, it can be a difficult time and is often the reason you will need a locksmith to change your locks.

First of all, it's worth notifying the local police that your keys have been lost or stolen and describe any obvious features such as a particular key ring, if they are handed in it could help to make recovery easier.
Moving home is one of the most challenging and stressful situations we are ever likely to experience. With so much to organise and remember, it's easy for important jobs to get overlooked and forgotten. Did you know, many home insurance policies will not pay out if an intruder gains access with a key, or where there aren't any signs of forced entry.
You may have locked your keys inside your property or the keys may have been stolen or lost, a locksmith can help you get into your home. There's no need to panic, whether it's the middle of the night or during the day you can be sure that a skilled, checked and vetted and Trading Standards approved locksmith is only a call away.
I know that UPVC doors have many benefits, but the down side is that the multi point locking mechanisms have a lot of moving parts and a lot of moving parts under the stresses of everyday use doesn't normally end well, when you leave for work in the morning or return home later and find that your UPVC door is jammed in the locked or unlocked position it can be something you could do without.
Just like your door, a UPVC window can encounter problems with the mechanism, whether this is from excess forces being applied or from bad weather corroding the parts and rusting them in place. You'll know the mechanism has failed when you can no longer open the handle or often the handle will operate with difficulty yet the window remains locked shut.

Andy was punctual, efficient, explained what he was doing and why, and a pleasure to meet. He only charged for necessary work - there were no hidden extras

We’ve never used a locksmith before but after doing some research online reading various reviews we came across Andrew from Fortify Locksmiths and thought we would call him. What a lovely person this gentleman is. He was really professional and very knowledgeable and very good at explaining things and takes his business seriously. He also doesn’t take your eyes out at charging ridiculous prices. I had two windows which kept getting stuck when opening/closing which Andrew informed me needed new hinges but he didn’t think it was a major problem as they still worked and could be replaced sometime
