The doors and locks we see in Battersea
Battersea splits neatly in two for a locksmith. The Victorian terraces between the commons have timber doors with nightlatches and mortice locks, the same as Fulham across the river. The new blocks along the river and towards Nine Elms have composite doors with euro cylinders and multipoint mechanisms, and those fail differently: the handle goes floppy, or lifts but will not lock, and that is the gearbox inside the door rather than the lock you can see.
A gearbox is the one job worth knowing the price of in advance, because it is the biggest bill on our list: £180 to £250 in the day. The locksmith will show you the price for your exact mechanism before ordering anything, and if a repair will hold, we will say so.
Communal doors are everywhere in the new developments. If it is the building's door rather than yours, tell us on the call: that is usually the managing agent's lock, not ours to open.
We cover SW11 and the roads around it: Battersea Park Road, Lavender Hill, Northcote Road, Queenstown Road, Clapham Junction and the streets off them.

How quickly can you get to Battersea?
Usually 10–15 minutes. Call with your postcode; you get the exact time once a locksmith accepts your request, and it depends on traffic.
How much is a lockout in SW11?
From £40. The technician checks the lock on site and confirms the final price before he starts. If the lock has to be drilled and replaced, he tells you the price first.
Is it my door or the building's door?
It matters, so tell us on the call. Your own front door is our job. A communal entrance is usually the freeholder's or managing agent's lock, and we will say so rather than open something we have no business opening.
