Local Borehamwood Locksmith Case Study – Key Snapped in Door

A customer living just around the corner from Borehamwood & Elstree Station contacted Watchdog Locksmiths after their key snapped inside the front door lock shortly before they were due to leave for work. Part of the key was stuck inside the lock, leaving them unable to get back into the house to collect their belongings.
Our locksmith attended, carefully removed the snapped section of the key and gained access to the property without unnecessary damage to the door. While checking the lock, the locksmith identified that it was older and recommended upgrading it rather than waiting for another problem to occur.
As the customer needed to get to work, we arranged a convenient follow-up appointment later that week. Our locksmith returned and upgraded the existing lock to a higher-security replacement, leaving the customer with a more secure and reliable front door lock.
