Emergency Locksmith in Manchester!

From outside you can see the size of the hole!

The door has lost all strength

The story goes, student locks herself out of room in Manchester Flat. This is probably what happened...

Landlord calls 1st big advert in Yellow Pages, and a man who had probably been on a 3 day locksmith course turns up to work his magic.

The so called Manchester Locksmith is faced with a 5 lever deadlock, he is immediately stumped. His course didn't cover lever locks, just picking a worn 3 pin cylinder and desk locks. He did have a lock opening guide bought for £200 which tells him the exact drilling point for many locks. but of course he does not know what lock is fitted!

He drills a hole, and mangles the levers.

He drills another hole, and makes things worse.

The lock is now totally jammed, and he is quite embarrassed ! (well, he should be!)

He resorts to smacking the lock out of the back of door.

Charges £180

And off he goes to the next job, with the words "that was a very high security lock, you will need to get a joiner to repair the door"

Choosing a locksmith in Manchester

The choice of a locksmith in Manchester is an important step because you want to make sure that you choose a reputable company, which is also a genuine Manchester locksmith, and not a national call centre or agency. Although we trust Locksmiths to let us in and out of our homes, cars and businesses, as we have become locked out, it is for them to do so in order not to compromise the integrity of our property. At the same time, to choose a company with experience and good reputation is the best way to protect your safety and property in the future, so make sure you do your homework so you can choose the best locksmith service in Manchester.

Cusworth Master Locksmiths are a Manchester Locksmith Service who are licensed and screened By the Master Locksmiths Association (MLA) and the Criminal Records Bureau (CRB) when they are shown they can perform various tasks necessary to do the job. But not everyone who operates a locksmiths business in Manchester has this, so it is important to ask for and check references before hiring them.  There are many other associations which sound official, but merely require a subscription and no checks are carried out. There are no legal requirements for running an advertising a locksmiths business in the UK and there are a growing number of people who do a 3 day course in locksmithing by a “get rich quick” training academy – giving the would be locksmith a certificate and an over inflated idea that they have the skills and the knowledge to go into someone’s home and make decisions regarding the safety and security of a family. 

It is quite possible many Locksmiths could have criminal records, unless the correct checks are made, again the best way to protect yourself is on the MLA website, listing all licensed locksmiths in Manchester and Cheshire

In many cases, you may already know someone who has used the services of a Locksmith, and may be the best source of information and recommendations, but it is still important to check the information online.

Online sites and reviews are a great way to determine the level of service you would expect from Manchester locksmiths. In addition, more a company is operating may be a testament to their success and confidence that people have with them. You cannot trust anyone with the keys to your house, and other customers feel the same way that a company with a bad reputation will not be able to stay in business for very long, and will regularly change their name. Check that the company you are considering is insured is another very important thing you should ask before choosing someone.

If you find the best locksmith service Manchester, all these issues are very important and can make a huge difference between great service and a bad transaction. For much of the research undertaken to work with, you may end up choosing a company that you can work with for many years to come without having to worry about the safety of your home or car. Don’t Forget to put you preferred Manchester Locksmith’s phone number in your mobile phone, and recommend them to friends and family.

Locksmith Humour!

A Manchester United player was on his mobile, outside an Alderley Edge Restaurant calling a locksmith.

" I locked my keys in my Ferrari!" said the nervous millionaire.

" No problem, I should be there in about an hour," replied the locksmith.

"My top is down and it's starting to rain."

Handforth Burglaries

Following a number of recent Burglaries a number of valuable electrical items and jewellery have been stolen from a home in Handforth.
Between 9.30am on Friday, 26th August, and 2.30pm on Monday, 29th August, thieves broke into an unoccupied property on Derwent Drive. They gained entry by using a rock to smash the window and then used the door keys to unlock the door.
Once inside they made an untidy search of the property and stole 3 laptops, a Rolex Shockmaster and Pangrai Pam 72 watch.
They also took a diamond engagement ring and several other items of jewellery before stealing the car from the premises in which they made their escape.
A secluded semi detached house on Greaves Road in Wilmslow was also broken into this week. Between 10pm on Thursday, 25th August, and 6am on Friday, 26th August, offenders approached the property and moved the CCTV camera above the front door.
They then removed a window pane from the side of the building, using a sharp bladed instrument, and climbed through into the lounge. The property was occupied at the time, although the victim wasn't woken, and the offenders stole small electrical items and cash before using keys to unlock the back door and make their escape.
During the same evening offenders entered a detached house on Racecourse Road via the backdoor, causing no damage. They were disturbed by the occupant though and left without stealing any items.

A new lock for old uPVC door in Alderley Edge, Cheshire

I had a call the other day, A bed and breakfast in Alderley Edge. The handles on the main entrance door were floppy and just felt wrong. On stripping the door, the uPVC gearbox was found to be worn out, and the main spring to the mechanism broken. When I contacted my locksmith stockist in Stockport for a replacement, my worst fears were proven right - the lock was obsolete, and had been for a number of years!  We quickly found a close alternative and I returned  and fitted it, together with a new pair of handles, the job looked brand new!
