Breslau Lock Services
Locks, keys and straight answers
Most of what we carry on the van never makes it onto a website: pinning kits, spare cylinders in the common finishes, blank keys for cars and houses, strike plates in three depths, and a box of the small screws that always seem to be missing. We stock it that way because a locksmith who has to come back tomorrow has only half done the job.
Being prepared is a form of respect for your time. It also lets us offer real choices at the door, showing you two or three options in your hand rather than a photo on a screen. We treat homes, shops and vehicles with the same readiness, and the same tidy habits.
Old locks respected, new locks fitted right.
Good locksmithing is mostly measuring. Backset, bore, door thickness, the gap at the strike, the swing of the hinge: get those right and the hardware fits and turns without a struggle. Get them wrong and a new lock is worse than the old one. We measure twice, order once, and test every door with the key in hand before packing up.
The key you reach for. The door you come home to. Good locksmith work begins with understanding how you use them.

- You know what is happening. From the first look to the last turn of the key, we narrate the job in plain terms. You should never wonder what we are doing to your door.
- Suggestions, not pressure. If we think an upgrade would help, we say so once and explain why. If you decline, that is the end of it.
- The old parts handled. Removed locks and keys are given to you or taken away as you prefer. Old keys that no longer work are worth destroying, and we will do that if you like.
How a visit goes
Describe the property, the hardware and what has changed, and the visit starts from what you have seen.
01
Deciding what to replace
We look at the existing lock, the door thickness and the holes already drilled. Sometimes a new cylinder is enough; sometimes the whole lockset has earned its retirement.
02
Fitting the new hardware
The new lock goes in with the strike adjusted so the bolt throws fully. If the old holes need filling or enlarging, that is done neatly.
03
Checking fit and finish
We test the lock with the door open and closed, from both sides, check the key turns without effort and clean up the doorstep before leaving.
