Over time, the tight tolerances within a Banham or Bramah cylinder can be affected by the build-up of microscopic grit or the drying out of factory lubricants. This leads to the key becoming difficult to insert or turn, a warning sign that the mechanism is approaching failure. We provide specialist servicing for these premium brands. Unlike standard locks, these should never be treated with regular oil; they require specific dry lubricants and careful cleaning of the internal components. If a failure does occur, our locksmiths carry the specialised tools required to gain entry without damaging the expensive door finishes or the surrounding frame, followed by the installation of genuine replacement parts. ### Mews house security and vulnerable side access The charming mews houses of Knightsbridge often have multiple points of entry, including large garage doors and side service entrances that may not have been updated in decades. These secondary entrances are often the 'weak link' in a property's security, featuring standard-grade locks that do not match the high-security hardware found on the main front door. We specialise in 'unifying' mews house security. This involves upgrading garage and side-door locks to the same high-security standard as the main entrance, often on a keyed-alike system so one high-security key operates every lock. We also install internal bolts and reinforced keeps on mews garage doors, which are a common target for intruders looking for a quiet way into a property. ### Luxury flat lockouts and non-destructive entry Being locked out of a high-end apartment in Knightsbridge requires a locksmith with a soft touch. Many of these doors are bespoke, fire-rated, and finished with expensive veneers or paintwork that would be costly to repair if damaged. A standard 'drill and fill' approach is unacceptable for these properties, yet many emergency locksmiths lack the tools or patience to perform a non-destructive opening on a high-security cylinder. Our team is trained in advanced picking and bypass techniques specifically for high-security hardware. We use precision tools to open the lock without leaving a mark, preserving both the door and the lock itself whenever possible. This level of skill is why we are the first call for many Knightsbridge concierge desks and property managers who need to ensure their residents' homes are accessed professionally and without damage. Our process ## How a Knightsbridge call-out works 01 ### Call and describe the door A locksmith answers, not a call centre. Tell us the door, the lock and the postcode, and you get a price and a realistic arrival time before anything is agreed. 02 ### We attend, typically within 30 minutes We work out of E16 and cover London 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. Every locksmith on the team is City & Guilds qualified and DBS-checked. 03 ### Inspection and diagnosis on site The lock, the door and the frame are checked together, because the fault is frequently the alignment rather than the mechanism. You are told what has failed before work starts. 04 ### The work, then testing on the closed door Non-destructive methods first. Everything is then tested locked and unlocked from both sides with the door shut — the state it actually lives in. 05 ### Sign-off, warranty and keys handed over Every key that works the lock, a clear price with nothing added afterwards, and our 3-year warranty on the work and the locks fitted. All payment types accepted. Questions ## Locksmith in Knightsbridge — your questions answered ### Do you specialize in Banham and Bramah locks?
