Locksmith & Fire Safety in Hackney | Dalston, Clapton, Stoke Newington

Working in Hackney

Hackney is bars, restaurants, shopfronts and converted Victorian housing, and the two halves generate very different work.

The licensed trade along Kingsland Road, Broadway Market, Stoke Newington Church Street and Mare Street keeps us in wet chemical extinguishers, kitchen blankets, final exit panic hardware and the out-of-hours shopfront boarding that follows a break-in. Licensing and insurance inspections here are taken seriously, and a missing extinguisher service record is a problem nobody wants on the day.

Residentially it is largely Victorian terraces and conversions through Clapton and Stoke Newington, with the estates around Homerton and Hackney Downs, and the warehouse and studio conversions out at Hackney Wick and Fish Island. Warehouse conversions in particular tend to have improvised security: a good padlock on a bad hasp, a steel door with a domestic cylinder in it, which is cheap to put right and rarely has been.

Full service in Hackney. Call-outs, emergency entry and boarding up, plus all planned fire safety and security work.

What we are called out for most in Hackney

Emergency locksmith

Locked out, keys gone, or a lock that has simply given up. We open it, usually without damage, and make it secure before we leave.

Boarding up

Break-in, smashed window, storm damage or a door that will not shut. We make it secure and weatherproof tonight, then put it right properly.

Extinguisher servicing

An extinguisher is only worth the wall space if someone has checked it. We service every make and type, record what we find, and leave you the paperwork.

Padlocks

Gates, sheds, shutters, containers and yards. A good padlock on a bad hasp is still a bad lock: we fit both.

FAQs

Questions about working in Hackney

Can you board up a Hackney shopfront out of hours?

Yes. It is one of the things we get called for most around Dalston and Mare Street. We will secure the unit so it can trade in the morning, then come back and repair it properly.

Do you service extinguishers for bars and restaurants?

Regularly. Kitchens need a wet chemical unit as well as the general cover, and it is the one most often missing when an inspection comes round.
