Would give NO stars if available. Called to get a lock changed for a tenant in this area, all lovely, costs agreed 85+ vat. All arranged.
Called to see if they had been, NO. Called the company, was hung up on twice. Called from another number and it was answered. I explained the problem and was put on hold. Then hung up on.
They are obviously acting in a discriminitive way, as it is a caravan site!! Never mind the 70 year old with a door that won't lock. DISGUSTING!!! I have reported them.

A Brief History of Staniforth

The bustling village of Staniforth has a population of 6,000 individuals, located 7 miles northeast of Doncaster. It’s separate from a North Yorkshire village that bears the same name. This South Yorkshire village is situated between Thorne and Hatfield. Called “stony ford” by the old dwellers of this community, Staniforth covers an area of 3.5 square miles. 

Staniforth used to be an Anglo-Saxon town, but it was transformed into a major market town in the medieval days before Bawtry took over and Staniforth’s glory was eclipsed. Then, it became a mining village like many other parishes and villages located in the borough of Doncaster. The Hatfield Main Colliery operated from 1921 to 2015, and many Staniforth residents were employed there.

 Staniforth is said to be the home of Nobel Prize-winning chemist George Porter. While specific festivals may not be as prominent as in larger towns, local events revolve around seasonal celebrations and community gatherings.

Despite the seemingly peaceful nature of this village, Staniforth also experiences burglaries and vehicle crimes from time to time. It earned the title of one of the top 10 unsafest villages in South Yorkshire. With a crime of 163/1,000 persons, Staniforth saw 65 burglaries (2.58 times the national average) and 117 vehicle crimes (5.62 times the national average). 

What’s more interesting is that the famous Doncaster burglar, Lee MacManus, hails from Staniforth; he was jailed for 5 years and 5 months in 2021. 

Staniforth locals are now investing in quality locksmithing provided by Lock & Key Doncaster to protect their homes from would-be invaders and deter the wave of crime in Staniforth.

In light of rising crime rates, robust security measures that involve installing high-security and anti-snap door locks have become crucial for residential and commercial establishments. This is where our team of qualified, DBS-checked locksmiths based in Staniforth provide locals with obligation-free home security assessments. They also repair door locks and offer 24/7 emergency locksmithing when homeowners lock themselves out of their homes. 

When Staniforth locals want to take their domestic safety up to scratch and protect against the most common forms of break-ins, there first port of call is to get in touch with Lock & Key Doncaster. It’s the perfect solution to make your property burglar-proof.
