Tim Francis — your Harrow locksmith
Harrow is classic Metroland. Street after street of 1930s semis with timber front doors, mortice deadlocks and night latches, mixed with Victorian terraces around Wealdstone, the period properties on the Hill, and a large rental market that keeps locks changing hands. Each type of door comes with its own lock problems, and after twenty years in this trade I have worked on most of them.
When you call 07966 233092, I answer. Not a call centre, not a directory. I tell you the price upfront and give you an honest arrival time, and 99% of jobs are finished on the first visit because the van carries the stock.

The quote given over the phone matched what I paid in the end, with no surprise charges... Friendly service, fast response time and a job done properly."

Local locksmith cover across every part of Harrow
🏠 Central Harrow & Harrow on the Hill — HA1
The town centre mixes flats and converted properties with the period housing around the Hill's conservation area, where original timber doors deserve a careful approach. Worn mortice locks, night latches and communal door problems are the everyday jobs here, and Tim repairs traditional locks without damaging original doors.
🏠 South Harrow & West Harrow — HA2
Classic 1930s Metroland semis, some with their original timber doors and mortice deadlocks, many now refitted with uPVC and euro cylinders. Cylinder snapping is the most common forced entry method on the newer doors, and anti-snap upgrades are the most cost-effective improvement Tim fits across HA2.
🏠 North Harrow & the Pinner border — HA1/HA2
More interwar suburban streets, with a steady mix of stiff mortice locks in older doors and failed multipoint mechanisms in replacement uPVC. Tim carries the mechanisms and cylinders common to this housing stock, so most jobs are finished on the first visit.
🏠 Harrow Weald, Wealdstone & Kenton — HA3
A busy mix of Victorian terraces, post-war housing and one of the area's largest rental markets, which means frequent lock changes between tenancies and regular lock-out calls. Tim changes all locks on a single visit and fits BS3621 rated locks where a landlord's insurance requires them.
