Shop lock repairs Greater London

Shops in Greater London and the rest of London must keep fire exits usable, so we check that any new lock still lets people leave. Insurance conditions can name particular lock standards, so check your policy before we change a lock on premises in Greater London or elsewhere in London.

Which towns do you cover?

Common questions

Do you cover all of Greater London?

Yes. ShopFronts UK works across Greater London, including Acton, Barking, Brixton, Bromley.

Can you fit a stronger lock to an aluminium door?

Often yes, within the limits of the door's stile. Narrow aluminium stiles restrict the size of case they can take, so we measure before ordering. A three-star cylinder and a good hookbolt are common improvements, and a stronger keep can help too.

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.

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.
