Shop lock repairs in Essex
If a break-in at your Essex premises leaves a door that will not lock, ring the 24/7 emergency line and we'll tell you the arrival time when you call.
After lost keys or a change of staff at your Essex premises, a new cylinder is often enough, and the lock case can stay. Send a clear photo of your Essex door edge and lock, which often lets us identify it without a charged diagnostic visit.

Common questions
Do you cover all of Essex?
Yes. ShopFronts UK works across Essex, including Basildon, Billericay, Braintree, Brentwood.
A lock was damaged in a break-in. What should I do?
Call our 24/7 emergency line, because a door that cannot lock is an emergency, and we'll tell you the arrival time when you call. We can provide photos and an itemised invoice for your insurer, but only they can decide whether a claim is paid.
Can I lock a fire exit at night?
Only while the building is empty. Whenever people are inside, an emergency door must open without a key. The Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 sets this in England and Wales, and Scotland and Northern Ireland have their own fire safety law.
What lock do I need for my insurance?
Your policy decides that, so read the security conditions or ask your broker. Some policies name BS 3621 locks or set other terms. We can tell you what is fitted and what the door can take, but the insurer decides whether it meets their conditions.
