Heavy lifting day in Derby with the team 💪

Large aluminium sliding door system suffered a major mechanism malfunction and had to be completely removed for repairs. Due to the size and weight of the glass panels this was definitely not a one man job 👀

We replaced failed components, repaired the running gear, realigned the system and brought the door back to smooth operation without costly replacement.

A lot of sliding and bifold doors can actually be repaired if the issue is caught early enough.

How secure is your home while you sleep?

Today in Nottingham we attended a property after intruders managed to force entry through TWO doors during the night without waking anyone inside the house. Creepy isn’t it?

A lot of older locks and poorly aligned doors make forced entry much easier and quieter than people realise.

Upgrading your locks and reinforcing weak points can make a huge difference — not only making entry far more difficult, but also much louder and more noticeable.

We install and repair:
✔ High security anti-snap locks
✔ uPVC & composite door locks
✔ Multipoint locking systems
✔ Door mechanisms & handles
✔ Commercial & residential security upgrades

Call a professional locksmith for proper advice — we can help make it as difficult as possible for intruders to get in unnoticed.

Front Door Lock Upgrade | Nottingham Locksmith

A customer in Nottingham had a beautiful solid wood front door, but the old bottom deadlock had become difficult and inconvenient to use daily.

Instead of struggling with the old lock, we recommended a modern security upgrade that would improve both usability and security while keeping the door looking stylish.

✔ Old deadlock removed
✔ Installed a modern Euro sash lock
✔ Fitted designer matte black door handles
✔ Installed a high-security matte black Euro cylinder manufactured by APECS

The result is a secure, smooth-operating lock with a clean modern look that perfectly complements the wooden entrance door.

£95 That Stays £95

Or £49 That Becomes £600+?

Let’s be honest.

If you’re locked out at 6pm
And expect emergency help for the price of a double pepperoni Domino’s…

Who’s really being unrealistic?

⸻

A customer recently sent us an invoice from a “£49 call-out locksmith”.

Final bill:

• £425 – drilled lock
• £89 – “priority fee”
• VAT added
• Total: £616.80

Lock destroyed.
Replacement would’ve been another £350+.

But the advert said £49.

⸻

Now here’s a question most people never think about:

💡 The average Google Ads cost-per-click for high-demand locksmith keywords in Nottingham is £50–£60 per click.

Per click.

Not per job.
Not per booking.
Per click.

So explain how a real, insured, VAT-registered locksmith can:

• Pay £50+ just for someone to click the ad
• Pay fuel
• Pay insurance
• Pay VAT
• Pay tax
• Stock the van
• Pay wages
• Maintain tools

And complete the whole job for £39?

It can’t.

That price only exists to get through the door.

⸻

At Max The Locksmith:

✔ Emergency call-outs are £95
✔ Clear pricing before work starts
✔ No mystery “priority fees”
✔ No bait £39/£49 ads
✔ No unnecessary drilling

Transparent pricing. Professional standards. Real accountability.

⸻

And honestly?

I genuinely hope one day this race-to-the-bottom nightmare ends.

That there’s proper protection for:

• Legitimate locksmith businesses
• Customers who believe emergency help costs £39
• An industry that deserves higher standards

Because security isn’t a takeaway order.

It’s your home.

✔ Security upgrades Nottingham
✔ Door alignment & adjustments
✔ Lock replacements
✔ uPVC & composite doors
