Why Our Locksmith Accreditations and Certifications are so Important?

At Rotherham Lock & Key, all our locksmiths are City & Guilds accredited and NCFE-certified. This means that you can expect exceptional service and quality workmanship when one of our locksmiths arrives at your doorstep. 

Our locksmiths are painstakingly vetted to ensure they meet our extremely high standards. We are passionate about delivering unparalleled locksmith services, and we constantly find ways to improve our knowledge and skills, which is why we regularly enrol our professionals in training courses. With decades of industry experience in our team, there isn’t a problem they can’t solve.

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 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 Rotherham Lock & Key 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. Called Lock and Key they were here within half an hour took less than that to open the door and replace the lock. Given plenty of spare keys the locksmith was efficient and friendly and didn't cost the earth. Highly recommended.

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.

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.

We take pride in the quality of our workmanship, and our team of locksmiths work tirelessly to achieve our ever growing number of 5 star reviews on Google

A Brief History of Swallownest

The sleepy and relaxed village of Swallownest lies in the civil parish of Aston cum Aughton, just 7 kilometres from Rotherham. The largely suburban nature of Swallownest makes it quite family-friendly, and residents enjoy access to a number of local parks and green spaces. New urban developments have enhanced the modern-day amenities of the area, and the neighbouring villages of Aston and Aughton bring a diversity of entertainment options.

Swallownest does not boast many widely recognised landmarks, but it is flourishing due to industrial and commercial growth. Its proximity to Rotherham and Sheffield allows residents to take part in wider regional festivities, such as the Rotherham Show and the Sheffield Walking Festival.

Despite the restful nature of Swallownest, crime has unfortunately made an impact in the area. In this village of just over 15,000 inhabitants, over 1,000 crimes were reported in 2024, according to Police.UK. Well over 100 of these incidents involved burglary, often without a suspect being identified. These statistics indicate that Swallownest isn’t as safe as it appears on the surface.

Given these numbers, it is critically important for Swallownest residents to consider upgrading their security measures. Our team of expert local locksmiths can be hired to quickly and effectively reinforce your property. Our team of professionals can replace inefficient common locks with high-security deadbolts, mortice locks, or any similar type of lock that can dissuade potential intruders. They can also reinforce doors and entry points, and provide valuable assistance with burglary damage repair.

Our locksmiths near you in Swallownest are helpful to have on-call in the event of emergency lockouts and can provide regular maintenance checks to ensure that your home is fully secured. Whether you own a residential or commercial property, we can provide custom, tailored solutions to meet your every security need.

By taking a proactive approach to your safety, you will make a lasting difference in the security of yourself and your valued possessions. Addressing security concerns with Lock & Key Rotherham will not only discourage criminals from taking advantage of you, but will also contribute to lowering crime statistics and aiding the well-being of the Swallownest community.

Our locksmiths can take 30 minutes to replace door locks and work on adjustments to secure it.
