The Importance of Locksmith Accreditations

We pridefully state that we’re on of the only locksmith companies based in Doncaster with accreditations from City & Guilds and certifications from NCFE. So, you can be sure when our locksmith arrives at your doorstep, they will provide you with high quality workmanship and service. That’s why you should only work with qualified, accredited locksmiths.

We Never Use Sub-Contractors

Using subcontractors comes with a whole range of risks, including inconsistent workmanship, varied standards of service, and potential security concerns. 

Many subcontractors do not always follow the same high-level training, techniques, or customer service protocols which at Lock & Key we hold ourselves to. This can result in unnecessary delays and a disappointing customer experience.

There’s also the added concern of safety, especially when proper DBS background checks aren’t performed, increasing the risk of unvetted people gaining access to your property.

At Lock & Key Doncaster your safety and satisfaction are our number priorities. That’s why we only use locksmiths who are directly employed by us. Every member of our team is fully trained, DBS-checked, and held to the highest standards, providing you with complete peace of mind.

Lost my front door key on hols so was dreading getting back and having to wait around for a locksmith. Called Lock and Key they were here within half an hour took less than that to open the door and replace the lock. Given plenty of spare keys the locksmith was efficient and friendly and didn't cost the earth. Highly recommended.

Came within an hour Sunday evening. Explained and showed me the damage that had caused the jam and broken key and gave me a fair quote for the repair. Replaced the lock and handle mechanism and thoroughly checked everything, even adjusted the door mountings as they were out. Brilliant job and smashing fella, wholeheartedly recommend.

Having found that the French doors would not lock on Sunday evening I phoned lock and key Barnsley. I gave a description of the problem and John gave me a quote for what he thought the problem would be but explained if it was something else he may have to adjust the quote. He said he could be with me in 30 minutes, it was actually more like 20 minutes. He checked the lock and confirmed it was the issue we had discussed. John completed the required work promptly and with minimum fuss. He left me with a receipt for the work, after demonstrating the new lock working. Very happy with this service and would recommend.

We put care into every job we do, and it shows - our locksmiths truly work hard, and our 5-star Google reviews just keep growing!

A quotation reflecting the sentiment of Doncaster

A Brief History of Askern

The civil parish of Askern emerged as a small community surrounded by ash trees (hence the name Askern). Famous for its Greyhound Stadium (which was closed two years ago), this small town has a population of over 5,400 individuals. The parish of Askern is connected to Doncaster via A19 (and 7 miles away) and is around 1.3 square miles. 

The parish was a very famous spa town in the 19th century, visited by individuals from all over England who sought Askern Lake’s healing properties. After Askern’s mineral-rich waters lost their appeal, the town transformed into a mining hub due to its many collieries and local pits in the 20th century. The Mining Wheel is a remnant from Askern’s coal-rich past. 

Today, this parish is famous for the Askern Music Festival and the St. Peter’s Church built in the 1850s. The Askern Miners Welfare Club showcases the social nature of local residents and strong community ties. Moreover, the parish has picturesque walking trails that connect this village to the scenic countryside.

However, Askern remains the 5th-most crime-challenged village in South Yorkshire. The crime rate is 209 per 1,000 people with burglary and vehicle theft been some of the most common crimes taking place in Askern. Recent reports suggest that property crimes have become a particularly concerning problem in this quaint little area of Doncaster. 

Even though the instances of burglary in Askern have declined by 58% in the last three years, burglaries are still 1.53 times higher than the national average. That’s why Askern residents need professional, DBS-verified locksmiths to boost the security of their residential and commercial properties.

Working with an accredited locksmith company such as Lock & Key Doncaster is a great way to protect your property. Our expert locksmiths will help you replace your old-fashioned locks with anti-snap high security locks. They can also conduct a no-obligation security inspection to ascertain if there are any additional weak points in your properties security measures and suggest a range of additional, cost-effecitve solutions.

Whether you’re a victim of a home invasion or afraid it might happen, get in touch with our team of professional locksmiths in Askern, for your added peace of mind.
