Emergency Locksmith Services Liverpool
The emergency locksmith service operates 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, with a 20–35 minutes for central Liverpool, up to 45–60 minutes for outer areas. Real ETA given on every call. Non-destructive entry — lock picking and manipulation — is always attempted first. In the majority of lockout cases, the cylinder is undamaged and the original key continues to work after entry. Broken key extraction is handled with specialist tools that remove the broken piece without drilling in most cases. Burglary repair callouts are treated as priority emergencies — the property is secured the same visit with documentation provided for insurers. Merseyside Police post-burglary guidance is followed on all emergency repair callouts.
Lock Changes & Security Upgrades
All lock changes use TS007 3-star anti-snap cylinders for UPVC and composite doors, and BS3621 5-lever mortice locks for wooden doors — meeting the Secured by Design specifications required by most UK home insurance policies. Cylinder snapping is currently the most common forced entry method on UPVC properties in Liverpool; a TS007 cylinder prevents operation even after the outer section is removed. Security upgrades are assessed honestly — most homes need only two or three changes to significantly reduce their risk profile. New homeowner lock changes are carried out same-day with a keyed-alike option so multiple doors work from two keys rather than a separate key per lock.
UPVC Repairs & Door Services
UPVC lock repairs cover gearboxes, multipoint mechanism faults, handle spindle failure and door alignment. A significant proportion of apparent lock faults are actually alignment issues — the door has dropped on its hinges and the lock points no longer meet the keep in the frame. Realignment fixes this without replacing any lock components and at lower cost. Major gearbox brands are stocked on the van for same-day replacement. Door repairs, including frame, hinge and threshold work, are available across Liverpool and Merseyside. WhatsApp video diagnosis is available — send a clip of the problem for a free assessment before booking.
Landlord, HMO & Commercial Locksmith Services
The landlord locksmith service covers between-tenancy lock changes, master key systems, HMO fire door compliance and tenant emergency lockouts across Liverpool and Merseyside. All HMO work meets Liverpool City Council HMO licensing requirements, including thumb-turn cylinders on all fire escape route doors. Access control installation — fob entry, keypads, video intercom — and smart lock installation serve short-lets, AirBnBs and commercial premises. Aluminium shopfront and office door repairs, including floor springs, Adams Rite locks and panic hardware, are treated as priority commercial callouts. Contract pricing and multi-property scheduling is available for letting agents and property management companies, with invoices addressed to the agent or management company.

Between-tenancy lock changes, HMO compliance (thumb-turn cylinders for fire doors), master key systems, tenant lockouts. Meets Liverpool City Council HMO licensing requirements. Invoice to agent.
Door Repairs Liverpool
Frame repair, hinge replacement and door alignment. A large proportion of lock problems are actually door alignment issues — a properly adjusted door fixes the fault without replacing any lock components.
Broken Key Extraction
Specialist extraction tools remove broken keys without damaging the cylinder in most cases. Do not attempt to push the broken piece further in or use pliers — this makes extraction harder and can destroy the cylinder.
Non-Destructive Entry Liverpool
Lock picking and manipulation attempted first on every lockout. The cylinder stays intact, the door is undamaged, and the original key continues to work. Drilling only used as an absolute last resort — and only after explaining why.
Smart Lock Installation Liverpool
Keypad cylinders, app-controlled access and complete smart handle sets for short-lets, AirBnBs and HMOs. Door compatibility is checked before parts are ordered — not all smart locks suit all door types.
Master Key Systems Liverpool
One master key for management opens every lock. Individual restricted keys open only specified doors. Designed before any cylinders are ordered — the layout, access levels and key distribution specified first to avoid costly mistakes.
Aluminium Door Repairs Liverpool
Shopfront and office aluminium door repairs — floor springs, Adams Rite locks, panic hardware, door closers. Commercial premises that can't be secured are treated as priority emergency callouts. 5pm Friday, a coffee shop door repaired in 35 minutes.
Garage Door Lock Repairs Liverpool
T-handle mechanisms, roller door cylinders and anti-lift bars repaired or replaced. The internal connecting door from garage to house is assessed on the same visit — often the weaker of the two entry points.
Access Control Installation Liverpool
Fob entry systems, keypads, video intercom and electric strikes for offices, HMOs and commercial premises. A site survey is recommended before specification — door type, frame, power availability and number of access points all affect the most appropriate solution.

The Standards Behind Every Job
Every lock fitted meets British Standards. Not because it's a selling point — because it's what your insurance requires and what actually stops a determined burglar.
The highest security grade for euro cylinders. Required for UPVC and composite doors. Has an internal barrier that prevents operation after the outer section is snapped. Standard fit on all Cobra cylinder replacements. See the anti-snap guide for detail.
The British Standard for mortice deadlocks on wooden doors. Required by most UK home insurance policies as the minimum standard. All Cobra mortice lock installations use BS3621 as the minimum. See the BS3621 guide.
The UK police's Secured by Design initiative specifies TS007 cylinders and BS3621 mortice locks as the standard for all new residential properties. Cobra works to this standard on all lock installations.
Documentation confirming the grade and standard of every lock fitted is available on request for insurance purposes. If your insurer has specified a particular standard, confirm before the job and Cobra will ensure compliance.
