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 Brief History of Thorne

The historic market town of Thorne covers an area of 18.15 square miles with over 16k people living here. Archaeologists have discovered evidence of New Stone Age-era settlements here, showcasing Thorne’s historical significance in the Yorkshire area.

This small town has been populated continuously since the 8th century, serving as a farming and then coal-mining town east of the River Don. Thorne and Moorends combine to become a civil parish, a vibrant community with a variety of attractions, such as the Memorial Park, where the annual Thorne Festival takes place.

In the summer, brass band concerts are held in this bustling town. Every month, local farmers organise a cultivators’ market and there is also a community-funded woodland area that connects the urban centre of Thorne to its wildlife regions. 

The 12th-century Church of St. Nicholas and the remnants of the 1,000-year-old Peel Hill motte are some of Thorne’s major landmarks. It’s also referred to as “Little Holland” due to its flat landscape and waterways, which serve as a reminiscence of the Netherlands. However, Thorne isn’t immune to criminal activities.

Even though it’s generally a safe town (crime rate: 104/1,000 persons), Thorne has seen 98 burglaries in a 12-month period (80% of the national average). However, burglaries seem to have increased by over 90% in the last 3 years. 

As for vehicle crimes, 117 such instances were reported in the same period, a 34% increase in the last 36 months. That’s why residents of Thorne are investing in robust security measures to protect their properties with the help of Lock & Key Doncaster. Our local locksmiths play a crucial role in enhancing safety by offering various services that can help secure homes.

Our DBS-verified locksmiths based in Thorne can repair or replace outdated locks, securing residents premises against the most common forms of break-ins. In addition, we also excel at installing snap-safe, anti-burglar door locks that resist vandalism. Collaborating with Lock & Key Doncaster is also a great way to get back inside your home if you have locked yourself out of it. Our locksmiths employ non-destructive methods to gain access to your home or business premises.

In addition to lock installations and emergency entry, our team offers free home security surveys, a thorough assessment of your property’s entry points and overall security status. These surveys are an excellent way to identify weak points before they become a problem and offer suggestions to boost your home’s protection.
