Newcastle Commercial & Residential Lockout Specialists.

The company's fully trained, DBS-checked locksmiths are fully insured and specialise in non-destructive entry techniques. It provides commercial locksmith services for offices, shops and warehouses, covering commercial and industrial premises across Gateshead and Sunderland, and residential areas from Gosforth to Cramlington.

The company works with uPVC, composite, wooden and aluminium shopfront doors and locks, and installs British Standard, kite-marked and insurance-approved locks. It offers car key cutting and programming on-site for most major car makes and models, non-destructive vehicle entry, roller shutter door repairs and garage door repairs.

Lockouts, lost keys and broken vehicle remotes are the situations that bring most customers to Kev, and the accounts describe a service that answers promptly and attends the same day. A handful of customers describe how straightforward communication is, from the initial call through to the work being completed, and how honestly the job is assessed, with no attempt to sell unnecessary work. A theme running through the feedback is the speed of attendance, including a middle-of-the-night call-out where entry was gained and improved keys supplied on the spot.

Replacement car keys are cut and programmed for vehicles including an older Suzuki, and a multipoint gearbox that proved difficult to source was supplied and fitted within the day. A garage door control system was also fitted after a remote failed. Residents in Newcastle upon Tyne mention lock repairs and replacements completed tidily, new keys handed over with the new lock, and prices regarded as reasonable for the work carried out. Kev is named as friendly, professional and reliable, and the person customers would call on again for future locksmith work, with the same-day fitting of hard-to-find parts standing out as the clearest recurring theme.
