The Importance of Locksmith Accreditations
Accreditations are highly important when it comes to hiring a locksmith. We hold the exclusive honour of being one of the only locksmith service providers in the UK to be accredited by City & Guilds, which means that our team members are insured, licensed, DBS-checked, and highly trained to work on your property. Hiring unaccredited locksmiths can bring risks, so please be careful to check!
We Never Use Sub-Contractors
Relying on subcontractors can introduce a number of potential risks, such as inconsistent service quality and security vulnerabilities. Subcontractors do not always follow the same rigorous training standards, techniques, or customer care practices we strive to uphold, which can lead to delays, substandard workmanship, or a poor customer experience.
There are also heightened risks using subcontractors when DBS background checks aren’t carried out thoroughly, potentially leading to safety issues for customers.
At Lock & Key Doncaster, we take your security seriously. That’s why all of our locksmiths are directly employed by us. We never use subcontractors, so you can trust that every job is completed by a fully trained, vetted, and accountable master locksmith.

A Brief History of Balby
Balby is a postwar suburban area of Doncaster with a population of 21,000 to 22,000. Famous for its terraced housing, Balby has been categorised into several wards, offering locals a blend of residential and commercial properties. Woodfield Plantation is one of its recently developed areas. The Carr Hill Industrial Estate is a major commercial hub where major manufacturers like Bridon Ropes have their headquarters.
As apparent from its Old Norse-origin name, the origins of Balby were as a Viking farmstead. Today, it has many remnants of those Viking settlements. Also, the Church of St. John the Evangelist is a major landmark cherished by Balby locals. It had become a steel and brass manufacturing hub in the early 20th century with Pegler operating a main factory here between 1904 and 2024.
Balby even turned into a minor pilgrimage site due to St. Catherine’s Well (which was later turned into a healthcare facility, operational until the ‘80s). While Balby may not be as famous as some other parts of Doncaster, it contributes to the town’s overall character, particularly with its proximity to Doncaster racecourse.
Balby was once known as the place where filming for the famous British sitcom Open All Hours was done in the 1980s. Today, it’s challenged by criminal activities, especially shoplifting and robbery.
The crime rate here is 232/1,000. Crime fighters recorded 80+ cases of street crimes in Balby in October 2024 alone. In the same month, 11 burglaries and 15 vehicle crimes took place in Balby. Certain regions of Balby, such as Ashmount Court, are more vulnerable to these crimes. That’s why Balby residents rely on locksmithing services provided by Lock & Key Doncaster to deter criminals.
At Doncaster Lock & Key our City & Guilds accredited, DBS-checked locksmiths offer a range of services that go beyond merely fixing locks; they can install high-security, anti-burglar door locks that prevent common forms of break-ins.
If you are a victim of a recent burglary or have locked yourself out of your home, consider contacting our local locksmiths for a no-obligation home security evaluation visit. For all lock and key security problems, homeowners in the Balby area can rely on our professional locksmithing services in Doncaster to provide the solution.
