Meet Tim - Your Local Locksmith
When I’m not out helping local homeowners with their locks and home security, I like to keep active.
I’m a regular at FIT Pontefract, pushing myself with weight training and high-intensity sessions. I also enjoy running, mountain biking, and CrossFit-style workouts — staying fit keeps me sharp and ready for whatever the job throws my way.
I’m a proud Spaniel owner to Bruno and Eddie, who are always demanding an adventure. One of our favourite spots is Frickley Country Park, where we can all get some fresh air and stretch our legs between jobs.
And after a busy week supporting customers across Wakefield, Pontefract, and the wider WF postcode area, nothing beats a well-earned stuffed crust pizza on a Friday evening.
Few things cause more stress than finding yourself locked out or unable to secure your property. Whether it’s a snapped key, a jammed lock, or a broken door mechanism, it always seems to happen at the worst possible moment late at night, in the rain, or just as you’re leaving for work. Many of these problems are caused by ageing lock components, temperature fluctuations that cause expansion, or simple wear and tear over years of use.
That’s when having a trusted emergency locksmith in Wakefield really matters. I offer a fast, local 24-hour response for homes and businesses across Wakefield, Horbury, Outwood, Sandal, Crigglestone and surrounding areas. Using non-destructive entry techniques, I’ll always aim to open your door without drilling or damaging the lock. If a replacement is needed, I carry a full range of British Standard locks in my van, allowing me to fit new hardware immediately.
As a local independent locksmith, I take personal pride in every call-out. My goal isn’t just to get you back inside quickly, but to make sure you feel safe, secure and fully informed about what caused the issue. Every job ends with a quick check of your other access points and simple maintenance advice to help prevent future lock failures.
**Excellent service. Tim arrived quickly and explained everything at all stages assisting me with my emergency situation and fitting a quality lock. (Google review)**
Finding yourself locked out of your home or business is stressful, inconvenient, and often happens at the worst possible time after work, during bad weather, or late at night. It’s a situation that can happen to anyone: keys left inside, dropped on a night out, broken in the lock, or simply misplaced. Sometimes, a worn cylinder, warped door, or faulty gearbox can cause the mechanism to jam completely, leaving you stranded on the wrong side of the door.
When you call Lockforce Locksmith Wakefield, I’ll respond quickly to get you back inside safely and without fuss. I use non-destructive entry methods wherever possible, meaning I can often open your door without drilling or damaging your lock. My van is fully equipped with professional locksmith tools and a full range of lock replacements, so if the lock has failed, I can repair or fit a new one straight away.
As a responsible and fully trained locksmith, I always ask for proof of residency or ID before granting access. This protects both you and your property ensuring that I only open doors for the rightful occupant. Common forms of ID include a driving licence, utility bill, or confirmation from a neighbour where appropriate.
Once you’re safely back inside, I’ll take a moment to inspect the lock, explain what went wrong, and suggest simple steps to prevent it happening again. My goal is not just to get you back in, but to make sure you stay secure going forward.
**Tim was absolutely amazing this evening when attending to my grandma who'd got her key stuck in her lock. It was way past normal working hours and he was there ever so promptly to help and repair the issue. Thank you Tim. (Trustist review)**
Changing your locks isn’t just something you do after moving house it’s a key step in maintaining your family’s safety and meeting your home-insurance requirements. Many older locks found in Wakefield homes still fall short of modern standards, leaving properties vulnerable to forced entry methods like snapping or bumping.
I provide professional lock changes and security upgrades across Wakefield using British Standard BS3621 and TS007 3-Star anti-snap cylinders that comply with insurance policies and police-preferred “Secured by Design” standards. If you’ve lost a key, had one stolen, or recently changed tenants, a lock change guarantees that only you have access to your property.
Before any installation, I’ll assess your existing door type whether it’s uPVC, composite or timber and explain which lock systems best suit its build and security level. I stock a full range of high-security euro cylinders, mortice locks and night latches, ensuring every fitting is done in a single visit.
Lock upgrades also give you better everyday usability: smoother turning keys, stronger mechanisms and peace of mind knowing your locks are fully insurance-compliant. As a local locksmith, I always take the time to walk you through your options, explaining the pros and cons of each product rather than pushing unnecessary upsells.
Your home deserves locks that meet today’s standards not yesterday’s compromises.
**Tim visited property within 2 hours of me calling for help- our back door wouldn't lock. He fixed the issue quickly, and also discounted some extra work to our front door while here. Really friendly chap, reassured me, talked me through everything he was doing, and reasonably priced for an emergency call! (Trustist review)**
Locks rarely fail without warning. Often, the first signs appear weeks before a key that’s harder to turn, a handle that needs lifting higher, or a door that no longer sits flush with the frame. These symptoms usually mean the mechanism is wearing out, the door has dropped slightly, or internal parts have begun to seize through rust, dirt or cold weather contraction.
I offer comprehensive lock repair services across Wakefield for all door types, including uPVC, composite and traditional wooden doors. My aim is to repair rather than replace wherever possible, saving you money while restoring your home’s security. I carry a full range of replacement springs, spindles, gearboxes, euro cylinders and other key components, so most faults can be fixed in a single visit.
When repairing, I’ll carefully dismantle the lock to identify the cause whether it’s a misaligned latch, a worn cam, or a broken internal lever. Once repaired, I’ll lubricate, realign and test it thoroughly to make sure the issue won’t return.
As a professional locksmith, I believe a proper repair should last years, not weeks. That’s why I always finish with a quick door alignment check and give you simple advice on maintaining the lock’s condition. Many repairs also give homeowners a chance to upgrade to modern anti-snap cylinders for added protection without replacing the entire unit.
**A job well done. Tim was courteous, efficient & professional what more can I say really apart from if Carling did lock repairs (Trustist review)**
uPVC doors are durable but rely on a series of complex moving parts hinges, rollers, hooks and gearboxes all of which can wear or fall out of sync over time. When this happens, the door becomes hard to close, won’t lock properly, or needs extra force to lift the handle. In colder weather, you might even find the mechanism freezes or jams, leaving the door stuck shut.
I specialise in uPVC door repairs across Wakefield, diagnosing and fixing these problems quickly. Many issues are caused by door misalignment or gearbox failure inside the multipoint locking strip. Rather than replacing the entire door, I can usually repair or replace the faulty component, realign the frame, and have the door working smoothly again the same day.
Typical repairs include:
- Replacing broken gearboxes and locking strips
- Adjusting hinges and strike plates
- Re-packing door panels to stop sagging
- Fixing seized or spinning handles
Because uPVC doors protect the main entrances to most Wakefield homes, keeping them in top condition is vital for both security and energy efficiency. I take pride in making sure your door locks easily, seals tightly and meets the latest insurance standards.
If you notice your uPVC door getting harder to lock or the handle feels “floppy”, don’t wait until it fails completely — a quick repair now can prevent a costly replacement later.
**I don’t usually leave reviews however on this occasion I feel compelled to. If you are ever in need of a locksmith urgently (like I was earlier today) and require professionalism, competency, courteousy and a speedy response contact Tim Ashby. It was a pleasure meeting him and watching him work today. Cheers Tim (Google review)**
If you’ve just moved into a new property in Wakefield, or you’re new to the area altogether, one of the first things you should do is check your home’s security. It’s impossible to know who may still have a key to your doors previous owners, tenants, tradespeople or even cleaners — and many homes still rely on outdated locks that don’t meet modern standards.
That’s why I offer free home security surveys across Wakefield. It’s a simple, no-obligation visit where I inspect all access points in your property and give honest, practical advice on how to improve security. During the survey, I’ll check:
- Front, back and side-door locks (including uPVC multipoint mechanisms)
- Window locks, hinges and handles
- Garage doors, sheds and gates
- Outbuildings and patio doors
If anything looks weak, worn or non-compliant with your home-insurance requirements, I’ll explain why and show you the options for upgrading. There’s no pressure to buy just clear advice so you can make informed decisions about your home’s safety.
Most people book a security survey after moving house, changing tenants, or noticing their locks getting stiff or misaligned. I always carry a selection of British Standard locks and parts, so if you’d like any improvements done while I’m there, it can usually be sorted straight away.
A short visit today could prevent a major problem tomorrow helping you settle into your new Wakefield home with complete peace of mind.
Tim's Home Security Advice in Wakefield
Here are some of my top home security tips to keep your property that bit safer from potential intruders:
- Secure Your Perimeter – Lock gates, reinforce fences, and trim hedges to remove hiding spots.
- Upgrade Your Locks & Handles – Fit High security, British Standard locks and high-security door handles to prevent break-ins.
- Install Outdoor Lighting – Motion-activated lights deter intruders and improve visibility.
- Check Windows & Doors – Ensure all entry points have strong locks and security reinforcements.
At Lockforce, we offer expert locksmith services and a FREE Home Security Assessment to identify weak spots before burglars do!
Running a business means security is never optional. Whether you manage a shop in Wakefield city centre, an office in Outwood, or a workshop on an industrial estate, a faulty lock or compromised door can bring operations to a halt — and leave your premises exposed to risk. Many commercial call-outs I attend start with lost keys, broken shutters, or door mechanisms worn from constant daily use.
I provide a full range of commercial locksmith services across Wakefield designed to keep your business secure and compliant. This includes lock repairs, master key systems, digital lock installations, shutter and padlock upgrades, and emergency re-securing after break-ins. All work is carried out using high-quality, insurance-approved locks that meet the latest British Standards.
Before any repair or installation, I’ll assess your site’s layout and traffic — how staff, deliveries, and customers move through it — so that security improvements make practical sense. I understand downtime costs money, so I work flexibly to fit around trading hours, ensuring minimal disruption to your business.
For landlords, schools, offices, and retail units, I can also supply keyed-alike systems and restricted-profile cylinders that simplify key management while preventing unauthorised copies.
As an independent locksmith, I take every commercial job personally. My goal is to protect your livelihood with reliable, cost-effective security solutions — keeping your doors open for business and closed to intruders.
Modern life is moving away from keys, and more homeowners and businesses across Wakefield are switching to smart locks for convenience, flexibility and enhanced control. These digital systems allow you to lock and unlock your door using your phone, keypad, or fob — meaning no more searching pockets or worrying about lost keys.
I install and configure a wide range of smart lock systems, from retrofit models that fit your existing door to full electronic setups compatible with home-security apps and smart-home hubs. I always begin with a detailed assessment of your door type and existing hardware to make sure the chosen system fits safely and securely.
Typical installations include:
- Keypad and Bluetooth-enabled smart locks
- Wi-Fi or app-controlled entry systems
- Smart cylinder conversions for uPVC and composite doors
- Commercial smart access and staff entry systems
I also provide in-person setup and training, showing you exactly how to manage codes, share access with family or staff, and maintain your system securely. Each unit is tested for reliability and fitted in line with British Standards where applicable.
As technology advances, so do the risks — so I always advise on encryption standards, backup key options and battery-life management to keep your property safe even during power loss or network failure.
Whether you want a keyless upgrade for your home or a smart access system for your business, I’ll help you choose and install a solution that balances security, convenience and modern living.
