So, you can be sure when our locksmith arrives at your doorstep, they will provide you with high quality workmanship and service.

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.

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.
