Common Locksmith Jobs We See in Solihull
Solihull’s mix of 1930s semi-detached homes, Victorian terraces in Shirley, and modern new-builds in areas like Dorridge means we regularly work with a wide variety of lock types. Older properties often feature traditional mortice deadlocks and Yale rim cylinders, while newer homes and apartments tend to have uPVC multi-point locking systems. We carry parts for all of these on our vans, which is why most jobs in Solihull are completed on the first visit without a return trip.
Solihull Homes and the Locks We Fit There
Solihull is not one kind of place, and the doors we work on change a lot from one end of the borough to the other. Knowing what is likely to be on your door before we arrive is a big part of why most Solihull jobs are finished on the first visit.
- Knowle, Dorridge and Hampton-in-Arden — larger detached homes, many with solid timber front doors fitted with a nightlatch and a mortice deadlock. Most home insurers ask for a BS3621 5-lever mortice on these doors. If yours is older, unmarked or the key has been copied many times, we supply and fit a BS3621 replacement from £99 plus parts.
- Shirley, Olton and Sharmans Cross — streets of 1930s semis where the original timber doors have mostly been replaced with uPVC or composite. These use Euro cylinders, which can be snapped if they are a basic type. A 3-star TS007 anti-snap cylinder (from £69 plus parts) is the single most useful upgrade we fit here.
- Chelmsley Wood, Kingshurst, Smith’s Wood and Fordbridge — 1960s and 1970s estate housing and low-rise flats. uPVC doors of this age often have worn multipoint gearboxes: the handle goes floppy or the door will not lock. Repair is almost always cheaper than a new door — a gearbox costs from £99 plus parts.
- Dickens Heath, Monkspath and the newer developments — composite doors and modern uPVC. Developers often fit entry-level cylinders, so new homeowners frequently ask us to upgrade them, usually alongside a moving-house lock change.

Frequently Asked Questions — Locksmith Solihull
How quickly can you reach me in Solihull?
Typically in around 30 minutes, across Shirley, Olton, Knowle, Dorridge, Solihull town centre and North Solihull. You get a realistic arrival time when you call.
Do you charge a call-out fee in Solihull?
No, never. You pay for the work and any parts, at a fixed price confirmed before any work starts. Out-of-hours work adds £20–£30 to the labour, and you are told that before we set off.
Are anti-snap locks worth fitting on a Shirley or Olton semi?
If your front or back door uses a Euro cylinder — most uPVC and composite doors do — then yes. A 3-star TS007 anti-snap cylinder costs from £69 plus parts and is the upgrade we recommend most often in Solihull.
My insurer wants BS3621 locks on my Knowle or Dorridge home. Can you fit them?
Yes. We supply and fit BS3621 5-lever mortice deadlocks on timber doors from £99 plus parts, and you get an invoice showing the lock standard for your insurance records.
Do you cover Chelmsley Wood, Kingshurst and Marston Green?
Yes. North Solihull, including Chelmsley Wood, Kingshurst, Smith’s Wood, Fordbridge and Marston Green, is part of our regular Solihull coverage.
Can you let me into my flat in Solihull town centre?
Yes, for a property you live in. We use non-destructive entry wherever the lock allows, and we will ask for proof of residence before opening the door.
