Non-Destructive Entry Service From The Method of Entry Specialist

A key aspect of our locksmith services is to provide the commercial world with a non-destructive entry (NDE). Our highly trained locksmiths have a wealth of experience in gaining entry into uPVC doors (euro cylinders) and wooden doors, which tend to have mortice locks and night latches. 

As domestic locks continually improve their security features, we regularly train to keep our lock manipulation skills up to date. If you require a locksmith company that is an NDE specialist, then please get in contact.

To book our services, phone Tel: 0800 011 3933.

Our Entry Methods And Bailiffs

For over a decade, enforcement agencies and bailiffs have relied on our access skills, using non-destructive methods. We deeply understand the additional stress and hassle caused when bailiffs return to a property to hand over a new set of keys due to damage to the original lock. Not only causing additional costs but also wasting time.

On top of enforcement agencies and bailiffs, our entry skills are often called for by local authorities.

Whatever the situation, the correct legal paperwork must be on hand before we gain access to a domestic property or a business location.

We have the right tools and equipment to access any domestic or commercial door, which is why we have built long-term, successful relationships with our clients.

Appreciating the importance of ensuring there is no damage to the property whilst gaining entry (unless where necessary), we continually invest in the correct entry tools and hands-on training.


Continual Entry Training

Under the guidance of The Lock Father - Andrew Marsh - The Lock Father, our locksmiths regularly undergo training in lock picking, ensuring they always have the right skills to gain entry using non-destructive methods.

Our commitment to training ensures our entry techniques remain sharp and our skills stay ahead of any new security features developed by lock manufacturers such as Yale, Union and ERA.

We do not use bump keys but have techniques to bypass a lock if required.
