Your local locksmith in Tring
I'm Tim Francis, a local locksmith in Tring. I offer an emergency locksmith service for lockout assistance, lock repairs and replacements, and burglary repairs after a break-in.
Call me direct. I'll explain what I think the problem is, agree the price first and give you a realistic arrival time.
Who you'll deal with
Tring is an old market town in the Chilterns, with homes that range from older properties near the High Street to more recent housing. A fault is not always a failed lock, so I trace the real cause before I suggest replacing anything.
Many uPVC and composite doors use multipoint locks. A handle that is stiff to lift often points to a door that has dropped or a failing gearbox, not a door that needs replacing. Older timber doors often carry mortice locks, and a new lock has to be matched carefully to what is already on the door.
I've run Millennium Locksmiths since 2005 and I answer my own phone. I'm City & Guilds qualified, and I bring that professional expertise to every job. I'm a mobile locksmith. Call me on 07966 233092 and I'll tell you where I am and when I can reach you.

Google reviews of Millennium Locksmiths
“Called Tim at 4.30 on Friday afternoon to fix a UPVC multipoint door that would not close. Tim arrived within an hour and did a professional repair at a reasonable price - a nice guy too, thank you”
“Quick response to my phone call. Understood what I required quoted a price and agreed. Arrived very quickly job done.”
“A really personal service from start to finish. Tim answered my call - not a service desk ... He fixed the issue with the door and replaced the lock with an anti snap, Ultion lock. He was very personable, tidy and professional”
Areas we cover in and around Tring
I cover Tring and the HP23 villages around it. HP23 crosses the Hertfordshire and Buckinghamshire border and village boundaries, so tell me your full postcode and I'll confirm I can attend.
🏘️ Tring - HP23
The town and its surrounding streets. I look at the euro cylinder, the multipoint gearbox and how the door sits, then tell you plainly whether it needs a repair or a new lock.
🏡 Buckland Common, Cholesbury and Hastoe - HP23
Villages on the Chilterns side of Tring, towards the Buckinghamshire border. Older houses and outbuildings can have timber doors, traditional locks and gates, so I check what is fitted before I choose parts.
🌳 Aldbury, Wigginton, Wilstone and Marsworth - HP23
Villages on the Hertfordshire and Buckinghamshire edge, below the Chilterns. When a door has dropped or a lock has begun to stick, I start by checking how the door sits and what the mechanism is doing.
Locksmith services in Tring
Emergency locksmith and lockouts
Locked out because keys are lost, left inside or the lock has failed? I get you in with non-destructive entry wherever I can, so the lock and the door come to no harm.
Lock change and new locks fitted
Before I change or install a lock, I look over your doors, windows and frames. I supply and fit the locks myself, including BS3621 British Standard insurance-approved locks and anti-snap locks.
Lock repairs and uPVC door locks
A lock that sticks, a broken keyway or a worn part can often be repaired without replacing the whole lock. I work on uPVC door locks, UPVC door & window locks and multipoint mechanisms.
Lock replacement
When keys are lost, a break-in has been attempted or a lock is simply worn out, I recommend a replacement that suits the door and the way you use it.
Burglary repair and security advice
After a burglary or attempted break-in, I check the doors, windows, frames and hardware, repair the damage and point out the weak spots. My advice covers uPVC, mortice and euro cylinder options.
Home locks
I repair and replace household locks, including front door locks, side gate locks, aluminium door locks and traditional Yale locks.
Garage Door Locks, Window & Patio Door Locks
A poor garage lock leaves the whole home exposed. I repair and replace garage door locks, window locks and patio door locks.
Security upgrades
I look over your doors and windows, tell you where the weak spots are, then upgrade with British Standard locks, anti-snap locks or other security fittings.
Commercial locksmith
For shops, offices and multi-unit buildings, I provide master keyed locks and master key systems for shared buildings, and I can advise on access control.
Keypad and digital locks
If you would rather not carry keys, I can go through keypad and digital lock options with you. Codes are easy to change, which suits shared access.
What will it cost?
There is no call-out charge. I agree the price with you before I travel.
I don't publish a price list because the cost depends on the lock, the door and the work. After a break-in, for example, it depends on what was damaged. Tell me what has happened and I'll give you the price on the phone.
How it works
Step 1: Call me, or send your postcode and what has happened
I'll ask what the lock or door is doing and where you are.
Step 2: I explain the likely fix and agree the price
You know the cost before I set off.
Step 3: I travel to you and do the work
I'm a mobile locksmith, so I'll give you an honest arrival time for your address.
Step 4: I check it works and the work is guaranteed
I check the door and lock before I leave.
