Why Cornel

Not a call centre.
A real person, every time.

Most "local" locksmiths are national franchises dispatching unknown contractors. With Lock Savers, the person who answers is the person who shows up.

National Call Centre
  • Call handler answers — contractor shows up
  • You don't know who's coming to your door
  • Low quote, high final bill
  • DBS check not guaranteed
  • Problem after the job? Good luck
  • Arrival time unknown

How it works

From your call to
back inside.

No guesswork, no surprises. Here's exactly what happens from the moment you call to the moment your door is open.

02

Honest ETA and clear pricing

Cornel tells you exactly where he is and when he'll arrive. He gives you a price guide before he sets off — no surprises on the bill.

03

Cornel arrives — no unknown contractors

The person who answers is the person who arrives. You know who is coming to your door before you open it — no call-centre hand-offs or unknown contractors.

04

Non-destructive entry first

9 in 10 lockouts are solved without a drill. Cornel picks or bypasses the lock first. Your door, frame and lock are preserved wherever possible.

05

Work done and guaranteed

All replacement parts and labour come with a 1-year guarantee. If anything fails, Cornel comes back — no charge, no argument.

06

Itemised invoice by email

You get a clear, itemised receipt by email — useful for insurance claims, landlord records, or just peace of mind. Card, cash or bank transfer.

Training & qualifications

Quick answers

Everything before you call.

How soon can you reach me?
Most Birmingham addresses in 20–30 minutes. I'll give you a precise ETA the moment you call, based on where I am that minute.
Will my door be damaged?
Non-destructive techniques first — 9 out of 10 lockouts I solve without a drill anywhere near the door. Replacement only if there's no alternative.
Do you charge extra for nights, weekends or bank holidays?
No. Same price 3pm on a Tuesday as 3am on Christmas. I just make a stronger coffee.
Do you take card payments?
Yes — portable card reader, cash, or bank transfer. All itemised invoices sent by email.
Are you insured and professionally trained?
Yes. Cornel is fully insured, DBS-checked and UK Locksmiths Association trained, including the Advanced Mechanisms Course. His training certificates are shown on this page.
