Tim Francis — your Amersham locksmith
Amersham is one of my closest towns. I'm based in Great Missenden, a short drive away, so I'm regularly in the HP6 and HP7 area for both emergency call-outs and planned security work.
Amersham comes in two halves. Old Amersham sits in the valley, a historic market town with listed and period property along the High Street and Church Street, while Amersham-on-the-Hill grew up around the station as classic Metro-land, largely 1920s and 30s housing with many substantial detached and semi-detached homes. Add Little Chalfont and Chesham Bois and it's an affluent, varied area. Much of my work here is anti-snap and high-security upgrades, along with sympathetic work on the older period doors.
When you call 07966 233092, I answer personally. The price I quote on the phone is the price on the invoice.
Postcodes covered:
- Covers Old Amersham, Amersham-on-the-Hill, Little Chalfont and Chesham Bois

"Locked out of the house up on the Hill late one evening. Tim answered the phone himself, quoted me before setting off, and had me back in quickly with no damage. Exactly what he said on the phone. Excellent."
"Tim fitted new high-security cylinders across our 1930s house and reviewed the whole place. No hard sell, just honest advice on what actually needed doing. Professional, tidy and fairly priced."
"We have a period cottage in Old Amersham and needed the locks sorted sympathetically. Tim was knowledgeable and respectful of the original doors, and fitted locks that suited them. Couldn't be happier."
Amersham housing — what Tim knows
🏠 Old Amersham — HP7
The historic market town in the valley, with listed and period property along the High Street and Church Street. These carry original doors, traditional mortice locks and period hardware, and Tim fits high-security locks sympathetically without damaging original features.
🏠 Amersham-on-the-Hill — HP6
Classic Metro-land around the station, largely 1920s and 30s housing with many substantial detached and semi-detached homes. Security expectations are high, and anti-snap and high-security cylinder upgrades are the common request. Tim carries premium cylinder brands to match.
🏠 Little Chalfont & Chesham Bois
Affluent residential areas with a mix of period, inter-war and modern detached housing. Tim covers both, handling everything from lockouts and lock changes to full security reviews, with the same no-call-out-charge service.
🛡️ High-Value Property Security
Across HP6 and HP7 the theme is protecting valuable homes properly. Tim gives an honest assessment rather than an upsell, advises on the right level of protection, and works discreetly and professionally.
