I work for a Letting Agency and I had a Tenant report an emergency issue relating to their door late Friday evening. I contacted Jim at Doncaster Lock & Key and he attended the property within an hour and a half from calling him. He resolved the issue whilst onsite and provided excellent communication throughout; Jim was also very professional. I would highly recommend this company!

The team at Lock and Key are amazing! I ordered a replacement security door handle which was the wrong size - error on my part. Altough they spent almost an hour trying to fit it they gave me the details to order a replacement in the correct size. Terry came the second time to fit the correct sized handle and completed the job without fuss. Very reasonable priced too - highly recommended. 👍

I had a great experience with Doncaster Lock& Key today. I called at 9 AM, and they initially estimated they’d arrive by 11 AM—but they showed up early, which was a huge relief. Jim was friendly, polite, and got straight to work. Within 45 minutes, he had my lock working perfectly again. Fast, professional, and reliable—I highly recommend them!

A Brief History of Doncaster

Doncaster is a city located in England’s largest metropolitan borough. The population of this major city and cultural centre was 87,000+ in 2021. Located on an area of 16.8 square miles, Doncaster is around 2,000 years old and constructed around Roman military structures. 

The city boasts several well known landmarks, including the historic Cusworth Hall, showcasing Georgian architecture and beautiful gardens which are enjoyed by Doncaster residents and vistors to the area on a regular basis. 

With excellent transport links, including a direct rail connection to London and easy access to major motorways, Doncaster is a growing hub for business, culture, and leisure.

Doncaster is famous for its ties to horse racing, including the Doncaster Cup, which is one of the oldest horses race in the world, along with the St. Leger Stakes, which attracts thousands of visitors every year to ‘have a flutter’. 

Doncaster’s industrial history is equally impressive, with its impressive railway works producing iconic steam trains such as the Flying Scotsman and Mallard. 

Notable figures from Doncaster include Nobel Prize-winning chemist George Porter, One Direction’s Louis Tomlinson, actress Diana Rigg, and renowned film maker Andrew White, showcasing its wide reaching contributions to science, music, and the arts. 

The city is well known for the Doncaster Literature Festival and the Pride Festival, which reflect the city’s commitment to fostering a modern, vibrant and diverse cultural scene.

Data shows that South Yorkshire has one of the highest burglary crime rates in England and Wales. The local crime rate is 161 per 1,000 individuals. Even though burglaries have subsided in the city, the police recorded 1,400+ instances of break-ins during the period between September 2023 and September 2024. Furthermore, 1,700+ vehicle related crimes occured in Doncaster in that the same period, impressing upon the city the need to do more to secure residents and businesses.

While crime levels fluctuate, Doncaster residents are investing in robust security measures to deter criminals and make their city safe as safe as possible. In order to do so, many residents have decided to work closely with local locksmiths such as Lock & Key Doncaster who provide expert, City & Guilds-accredited, NCFE-certified and DBS checked locksmiths. 

Our team of experts provide local residents with obligation-free home security evaluations, and for example, can replace a customers worn-out or damaged door locks with snap-free, anti-burglar ones.
