24/7 Emergency Cover
Hi, I'm Tim — your local independent locksmith for Windsor and Eton. From the town centre and Clewer out through Dedworth to Old Windsor and Datchet. Call me directly, any time. No call-out charge, price fixed before I arrive.
Tim Francis — your Windsor locksmith
Windsor has a special place for me. Before locksmithing I spent 26 years in the bands of the Household Cavalry, the regiment whose home is Combermere Barracks here in Windsor. The housing runs from Victorian terraces around the town centre and Clewer, through the post-war estates of Dedworth, to the period cottages of Eton and the village streets of Old Windsor and Datchet. Each one comes with its own doors and 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.
Postcodes covered:
- Tim answers every call personally — no call centre
- Honest arrival time given when you call — and kept
- No call-out charge — price agreed before I set off
- Van fully stocked — 99% of jobs completed on the first visit
- Rogue trader warnings active in the SL area — Tim is fully verifiable
- All work guaranteed
"Moved into a new home and foolishly left my house keys on the side table. Phoned Millennium Locksmiths to be greeted by Tim who reassured me that he would arrive within half an hour. He was true to his word and have left a complete job sheet of the work undertaken. Can't recommend him highly enough, in a town full of cowboys I'm glad I called a professional."
"A real life saver. I called a local locksmith in Buckinghamshire who I had used previously and asked if he could go to Slough for a vulnerable relative of mine and he gave me Tim's number. Tim from Millennium Locksmith's was really helpful and understanding of our predicament. He promised to attend later that day and was true to his word... When the job was complete Tim made phone contact again sending me a picture of the lock and explaining everything."
"On calling him, he quickly diagnosed the issue, provided a quote and agreed a time & date for the work. On the day he texted in advance to confirm the time and was punctual. He quickly stripped the lock mechanism down and confirmed what was wrong. It required a replacement part and fortunately he had one in his van... Would definitely use again, especially as Tim is a fellow Army veteran."
Local locksmith cover across Windsor
🏠 Central Windsor & Clewer — SL4
The streets around the town centre and Clewer have a large stock of Victorian terraces and flats above shops, mostly timber doors with mortice deadlocks and night latches. Worn cylinders and stiff mortice locks are the everyday jobs here, and Tim repairs traditional locks without damaging original doors.
🏠 Dedworth & West Windsor — SL4
Dedworth's post-war estates and newer developments are largely uPVC and composite doors on euro cylinders. Cylinder snapping is the most common forced entry method on these doors, and upgrading to anti-snap rated cylinders is the single most cost-effective improvement Tim fits here.
🏠 Eton & Eton Wick — SL4
Eton's period cottages and older properties need a locksmith comfortable with traditional rim locks, mortice locks and delicate timber doors, some of them on listed buildings where the approach matters as much as the lock. Tim discusses the method before any work starts.
🏠 Old Windsor & Datchet — SL4/SL3
The villages south and east of the town mix older housing with modern developments, so jobs here range from multipoint uPVC mechanism repairs to traditional deadlock replacements. Tim carries stock for both and covers these villages on the same no-call-out-charge basis as the town itself.
