Locksmith Poole

I'm Andy, and Poole is home. My workshop is on Haven Road, so the whole town is on my doorstep, BH15 in the centre, BH14 round Parkstone and Ashley Cross, BH13 out to Canford Cliffs and Sandbanks, BH12 in Branksome, and BH16 and BH17 up through Upton, Creekmoor and Canford Heath. When you call NOPAS you get me or one of my own engineers, not an agency stranger who's just looked your job up on a map.

Poole is not one kind of town and it's not one kind of door, which is half the reason I know it so well. Down in the Old Town, a conservation area, you've got period and listed properties on heavy timber doors running mortice and rim locks that want doing properly, not butchered. Push out to Canford Cliffs, Branksome Park and Sandbanks and it's high-value homes, composite and aluminium doors, and more smart locks than anywhere else in Dorset. Then up at Canford Heath, Creekmoor and Oakdale you're into the big 70s and 80s estates where nearly every front and back door is uPVC on a multipoint mechanism. Lately the newer developments that have gone up across Poole over the last ten years are throwing up their own problems too, the high-security uPVC doors on the higher-value places in particular are starting to fail in ways that take real experience to deal with. Different jobs, different parts, and I carry for all of it.

What I get called out for in Poole

The common ones across the town are:

• Lockouts, day and night, especially the flats around the centre and the quay
• uPVC doors that have dropped or won't lift to lock, all over the estates
• Lock changes for new tenants and new homeowners
• Burglary repairs and making a property safe after a break-in
• Smart locks fitted and sorted out towards Canford Cliffs and Sandbanks

How I cover Poole

From Haven Road I'm usually with people anywhere in Poole inside 15 to 30 minutes. The one thing I always factor in is the bridges, if the Twin Sails or the old Poole Bridge is up, getting over to Hamworthy takes a few minutes longer, and I'll tell you straight if that's going to add to the time rather than spin you a line. Out to the Sandbanks peninsula I keep an eye on the chain ferry and the summer traffic down Banks Road too.

I cover Poole Old Town, the Quay, Branksome, Parkstone, Ashley Cross, Lower Parkstone, Hamworthy, Upton, Creekmoor, Oakdale, Canford Heath, Canford Cliffs, Branksome Park, Lilliput, Whitecliff and Sandbanks. If you're inside the BH12 to BH17 postcodes, you're local to me.
