We Never Use Sub-Contractors

Relying on subcontractors can introduce a number of potential risks, such as inconsistent service quality and security vulnerabilities. Subcontractors do not always follow the same rigorous training standards, techniques, or customer care practices we strive to uphold, which can lead to delays, substandard workmanship, or a poor customer experience.

There are also heightened risks using subcontractors when DBS background checks aren’t carried out thoroughly, potentially leading to safety issues for customers. 

At Lock & Key Doncaster, we take your security seriously. That’s why all of our locksmiths are directly employed by us. We never use subcontractors, so you can trust that every job is completed by a fully trained, vetted, and accountable master locksmith.

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 Armthorpe

The suburban village of Armthorpe is one of the most affluent towns in South Yorkshire. Famous for historical landmarks like St. Leonard’s and St. Mary’s Church, it has a population of 14,000+ souls. Armthorpe’s name indicates that it was a Scandinavian farm stream owned by Vikings before the Norman invasion. Its crop-farming heritage has continued since the days of the Romans.

Armthorpe grew from a small agricultural settlement to a rich coal-mining town in the late 19th century. Like its neighbour Askern, Armthorpe was famous for its pits in the early 20th century. The Markham Main Colliery plays a key role in urban development here, leading to the establishment of several housing estates known for their circular layouts. 

Armthorpe residents are famous for their passion for different sports, such as rugby, boxing, football, motocross, golf, etc. This area is home to famous footballers like Peter Swan and Joseph “King Kev” Keegan.

However, the rustic charms of Armthorpe are marred by the village’s crime statistics. News reports talk about how households in Armthorpe are being targeted repeatedly by gangs of burglars. What’s even more concerning is how suspects in these burglaries are seldom identified. 

The crime rate in Armthorpe is 99 out of 1,000 persons. Aside from burglaries, vehicle thefts are also a major problem for Armthorpe residents. Stats show that 108 such crimes have taken place here in the last 12 months. Vehicle crimes in Armthorpe are 2.36 times higher than the national average. That’s why residential and commercial establishments are investing in advanced security measures and engaging the locksmithing services of Lock & Key Doncaster for better security.

Our highly trained locksmiths can bring your domestic security up to scratch by installing snap-safe, high-security locks. Whether you need emergency locksmithing or repair, our Armthorpe-based locksmiths are there to help. 

Fully DBS-checked, our professionals help residents with jammed or damaged locks or if unfortunatley they find themselves locked out of their homes. They provide anti-burglar locks to Armthorpe residents to secure them against common forms of break-ins. Similarly, residents can arrange for a free no-obligation home security survey whereby our experts will identify any potential security weak spots and offer a cost-effective solution.
