Local coverage
Covering Shoreditch, Hoxton, Old Street and Brick Lane borders
The Bow Locks provides 24/7 locksmith cover in Shoreditch and Hoxton (EC2A, E1, E2 and N1) from our base in E16. Our typical London response is around 30 minutes, and before we set off you get a clear price from £48 and an arrival time, whether you're locked out of a flat or an office.
Shoreditch isn't a typical residential area. Many homes are in converted Victorian warehouses and factories, with heavy entrance doors, lifts and individual loft doors. Around Old Street roundabout and Great Eastern Street there are shared offices and studios, while Hoxton has a mix of council estates, Georgian terraces and new apartment blocks. Near Brick Lane and Boxpark the street level is packed with shops, bars and restaurants.
So we get a wider mix of calls than most areas. Lockouts from loft flats, office owners needing locks changed after staff leave, communal doors in warehouse conversions that have stopped latching, shop door and shutter failures, and plenty of lock changes for the fast-moving rental market.

Why Shoreditch homeowners and businesses use us
Shoreditch blurs home and work. A single building might have a café at street level, offices above and loft flats at the top, all sharing an entrance. We understand how to deal with each door without disrupting the others, and we can work outside office hours so businesses aren't interrupted.
We're a family business with 25 years in the trade, founded by Billy Evans and now owned by Chris Evans, and contracted to major letting agents and property maintenance companies. Our four locksmiths are City & Guilds qualified and DBS-checked. All work carries a 3-year warranty, and we accept cash, card and bank transfer.

- Out-of-hours work to avoid disrupting your business
- Typical 30-minute London response, 24/7

Local conditions
Lock problems typical of Shoreditch
Heavy doors in warehouse conversions
Converted warehouses often have large, heavy entrance doors that were never designed for dozens of residents using them every day. The closers wear out, the doors stop latching, and the building is left open to anyone walking past.
We repair or replace closers and locks so the entrance shuts and locks reliably again. Inside, loft flat doors often have older locks that we can upgrade to current British Standards.
Offices and staff turnover
Shoreditch's offices and studios see people come and go constantly. When someone leaves with a key, or keys get lost, the business has no idea who can still get in. It's one of the most common reasons business owners call us.
We change locks quickly, often outside working hours, and can set up a restricted key system so copies can only be cut with your permission. You always know how many keys exist.
Late-night shops and bars
Businesses near Boxpark and Brick Lane close late. A lock or shutter that won't secure at 2am leaves the owner stuck on site. Street-level doors are also the ones most often forced.
We attend around the clock, get the premises locked that night, and follow up with a proper repair or upgrade. Safes can also be opened, serviced or fitted for businesses holding cash.
Our process
How a Shoreditch 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.
