Tim Francis — your Amersham locksmith
Amersham is practically on my doorstep. I'm based in Great Missenden — just a few miles along the A413 — and I've been covering HP6 and HP7 for nearly 20 years. I know both parts of the town well: Old Amersham's historic high street and Georgian properties in the valley, and Amersham-on-the-Hill's Victorian, Edwardian and 20th-century housing surrounding the Metropolitan line station.
The villages beyond — Chesham Bois, Hyde Heath, Little Chalfont — are equally familiar. These are predominantly high-value detached properties with above-average security requirements, and I carry the right locks for them: Ultion, Mul-T-Lock, EVVA and Avocet cylinders alongside the full standard range.
Note on phone numbers: The only correct number for Tim is 07966 233092. Some older directories list 01494 718686 for Amersham — that number is not current. Please use 07966 233092.

"Tim was at our door in Chesham Bois in 18 minutes. He opened the lock without any damage at all and the whole thing was done in under half an hour from the call. Quoted a fair price on the phone and that was exactly what we paid."
"I'd been using a national directory for years and always found it a bit impersonal. Tried Tim this time — he answered on the first ring, knew exactly what lock I had when I described it, and arrived with the right replacement already in the van. Brilliant."
"Tim replaced all our cylinders with Ultion locks after we moved into our Little Chalfont house. He was honest that two of the existing locks were already decent and only replaced what was genuinely worth changing. Very fair, very professional."
Amersham's housing — what Tim knows
🏛 Old Amersham — HP7
The historic market town in the valley has a high concentration of Georgian, Tudor and Victorian properties on and around the high street. These buildings often have traditional five-lever mortice deadlocks, original rim latches and period ironmongery. Tim handles these with care — non-destructive entry wherever possible to protect historic door fabric. Old Amersham's average property price is well above the national average, and the lock quality tends to match.
🏠 Amersham-on-the-Hill — HP6
The higher part of town around the Metropolitan and Chiltern line station has a mix of late Victorian, Edwardian and inter-war housing, much of which has been updated with uPVC and composite doors. Euro cylinder multipoint locks are the standard here. Tim carries replacement cylinders and mechanisms for all common systems and can complete most uPVC door jobs on the same visit.
🌿 Chesham Bois & Hyde Heath — HP6
These affluent residential villages to the south-west of Amersham have predominantly large detached properties — many with premium lock installations already in place. Average HP6 property prices are around £774,000, which reflects the quality of housing and the security expectations of residents. Tim carries Ultion, Mul-T-Lock and EVVA cylinders specifically for this area.
🏠 Little Chalfont — HP6/HP7
Little Chalfont sits between Amersham and Chalfont & Latimer station and has significant residential development from the 1930s through to the present day. A wide variety of lock types are in use here — from older mortice locks on pre-war properties to modern multi-point systems on newer builds. Tim covers the full range and responds quickly via the A404 and A413 routes.
