Locksmith for Letting Agents and Housing Associations
Letting agents, property managers and housing providers need a locksmith who turns up when booked, does exactly what was agreed, and sends paperwork that makes sense. Local 24/7 Locksmith works with agents and housing teams across Birmingham, the West Midlands and the other areas we cover, for routine changeovers and emergencies alike.

What We Handle
- Void and changeover lock changes — every external lock changed between tenancies, with keys handed to your office or the incoming tenant as you instruct.
- Gaining entry for inspections and repairs — non-destructive entry where the lock allows, with your written authority.
- Repairs reported by tenants — uPVC gearboxes, dropped doors, broken cylinders and window locks, fixed on the first visit in most cases.
- Lock-changes after a tenancy ends badly — securing a property quickly once you have legal possession.
- Burglary repairs and boarding up — out of hours if needed, with an itemised invoice for the landlord’s insurer.
- Master-key and keyed-alike systems — for blocks, shared houses and communal doors.
How We Work with Agents
- Fixed pricing — agreed in advance, so you can quote landlords with confidence. No call-out fee; out-of-hours work adds £20–£30 to the labour.
- Clear authority — we work on your written instruction or job reference, never on a tenant’s say-so alone.
- Itemised invoices — property address, job reference, locks fitted and their standard (TS007, BS3621), ready to recharge to the landlord.
- Trade accounts — for agents and housing providers with regular work.
Why Agents Use Us
You speak directly to the locksmith who will attend, not a call centre, so there is no game of telephone between your instruction and the job. Engineers are DBS Police-Checked, fully insured and carry photo ID, which matters when they are entering a tenant’s home. Parts carry a 12-month guarantee and our workmanship is guaranteed for 90 days.
