When you call, it is Lock Guy who will answer, there is no call centre or network of sub-contractor locksmiths (like many of the national firms that appear on local Google searches). That means you get an immediate response directly from the person that can solve your issue and knows the local area very well.
Lock Guy pricing is always very fair and competitive.
There is no call-out charge meaning you pay only when the job is completed satisfactorily. All costs are agreed up front and are based on fixed quotations so you know exactly what you will pay – with no hidden charges.
As a sole trader, Lock Guy is not VAT registered and therefore does not need to charge you VAT unlike many other locksmiths operating in Witham and Maldon, so Lock Guy is already 20% lower cost.
Lock Guy is independent, fully insured, DBS checked and accredited to the UK Locksmiths Association as a ‘Trusted & Vetted’ locksmith.
The van used is fully stocked meaning that 90+% of jobs can be completed there and then in one visit. If a special part is needed, then Lock Guy has accounts with all the major locksmith trade suppliers and can normally receive the required part on a next day delivery.
In a lockout situation Lock Guy will always attempt several non-destructive methods first. However, sometimes it may be necessary to destroy the lock in which case a replacement lock will be fitted.
No work is carried out without prior approval from the customer.
The locks used are excellent quality sourced from reputable locksmith suppliers and with industry
standard security ratings.
Police approved key safes can also be supplied and fitted. These are a great way to keep a spare key in an accessible unit, securely fixed to an exterior wall.
Witham has seen a lot of developments recently and there are more planned. Notably, this includes The Mulberries at Lodge Park (Hatfield Road – 750 homes developed initially by Redrow) and Beech Grove Homes (Conrad Road – 150 homes initially by Southfields).
More properties = more locks. There have been a number of reported issues on these new homes with cheap/low quality locks & locking mechanisms fitted by the developers. If you’re suffering from this issue, give me a call.
Braintree District Council’s plan is calling for an additional eight sites in Witham comprising 3000 homes!! As well as the new properties, there are also some interesting old properties with some unique locks, namely The Red Lion (dates back to 14th century), Witham Town Hall (15th century), The Vicarage in Chipping Hill, Ivy Chimneys on Hatfield Road and Newland Street has a cluster of the towns earliest preserved buildings.
Lock Guy is your ‘go-to’ locksmith for all the increasing locksmith requirements in Witham.
As with any town, there is always an element of crime. I have looked at crime and burglary figures in Witham, not to scare anyone, but to give you an appreciation that your home security is something that you should take seriously!
About 1115 homes have been approved or built recently with several schemes still in planning that will increase the number of houses in Maldon significantly to around 3700!

The south Maldon Garden Suburb off Limebrook Way is one of the biggest at 1000 homes as well as the North Heybridge Garden Suburb from Countryside Properties at 1138 homes.
There is a unique blend of old and new properties in Maldon. That means the requirements for locks are varied and Lock Guy has solutions for them all.

Although the locks have thankfully been upgraded since then. And for those that are interested, here is the latest Maldon crime/burglary information.
