About AMA Locksmith
Fast attendance for lockouts, break-ins and lock failures across Central London, day or night. Every emergency call starts with a conversation — tell us the address, the door type and what the lock is doing, and we'll tell you what's likely involved before we set off.
Locked out of a house, flat or business? We open the door using the least damaging method the lock and door allow. Timber, uPVC, composite and communal entrance doors all need slightly different approaches, and we bring the right tools for each.
A lock that sticks, spins or needs persuading to turn is often repairable rather than a write-off. We diagnose the actual fault — a worn cylinder, a misaligned keep, a dropped door — before recommending anything, and repair is always considered first.
Where a lock genuinely needs replacing, we fit like-for-like or upgraded hardware suited to the door — not just whatever happens to be in the van. This covers timber, uPVC and composite doors, and both standard and insurance-rated locks.
Handle lifts but the door won't lock? Door needs slamming or lifting to engage? This is almost always the multipoint mechanism, gearbox or cylinder — not the whole door. We identify the specific failure and fit the correct replacement strip or component.
Euro cylinders are the most common failure point on uPVC and composite doors. We fit correctly measured cylinders, including anti-snap and anti-pick options, so the lock sits flush and the door isn't left vulnerable at the cylinder.
Rim latches and rim cylinders are common on flats, communal entrances and timber doors. We repair and replace night latches that no longer catch, have deadlocking faults, or have a worn rim cylinder.
Traditional mortice sashlocks and deadlocks fitted into timber doors, including five-lever insurance-standard options where the door and frame allow. We service existing mortice locks and replace them where needed.
After a break-in we make the door secure again — repairing or replacing damaged locks, cylinders and mechanisms so the property can be locked properly. We also carry out practical security upgrades: stronger cylinders, additional locking points and better door and frame alignment.
Houses, flats, mansion blocks and apartments across Pimlico, Belgravia, Chelsea and the wider Central London area. Everyday work such as lock changes, key issues, door adjustment and entrance door security for homeowners and residents.
Offices, shops, restaurants and managed premises across Central London. Aluminium and commercial door locks, panic hardware faults and access-related lock changes, with attention to minimising disruption to trading hours.
Lock changes between tenancies, after key loss, or following a dispute — with clear explanations suitable for landlords and managing agents who need straightforward reporting on what was done and why.
Window lock repair and replacement is carried out alongside door work, which is particularly useful after a break-in or when handles and espagnolette locks have stopped operating correctly on casement windows.
Lock types we work with
Central London properties use a mix of period timber doors, UPVC and composite entrances and commercial hardware. Knowing which lock is fitted is the first step to fixing it properly.
