Locksmith Selly Oak
Cornel covers the full B29 area including Bristol Road and the streets around Selly Oak. Students and homeowners alike — emergency locksmith response in 20–25 minutes.
On the ground in Selly Oak
Selly Oak sits on the Bristol Road corridor, five miles from the Yardley Road base. It is a mix of student HMOs, Victorian terraces and the streets around the university hospitals. Typical arrival for B29 is 20–25 minutes.
Older houses around here often still have nightlatches; a lot of the student lets and newer replacements are uPVC or composite with a multipoint strip. Cornel covers both: non-destructive entry where the lock allows it, and a British-Standard lock change when the keys have gone or a tenancy is turning over.
If you are on or just off Bristol Road, have the block and door number ready — it saves time on an estate or a converted house with several front doors.
uPVC and composite lock changes in Selly Oak
Plenty of doors in Selly Oak are uPVC or composite. Cornel supplies and fits British-Standard, insurance-approved lock changes on uPVC, composite, wooden and aluminium doors. The price is agreed before any work starts, and there is no call-out fee.
If the keys are lost, a tenancy is changing, or a cylinder is worn, a lock change on the existing door is usually the job — not a new door. Send a photo on WhatsApp if you want the part identified before he sets off. More on lock changes and uPVC door locks.
