About Me

I’m Clive, a genuine local locksmith who’s been keeping Chichester secure for years. Unlike big corporate locksmith companies, I actually live in the community I serve. I know the area inside out – from the charming period properties in the city center to the newer housing estates – and that local knowledge makes all the difference when you need help fast. What makes me different is my honest, down-to-earth approach. I’m not interested in pressuring you into expensive upgrades you don’t need. Instead, I’ll give you straight advice about what’s best for your home or business, often finding ways to solve problems more affordably than you’d expect. My customers appreciate this refreshingly honest approach in an industry that’s often plagued by cowboys and con artists.

What I Do

I handle everything from emergency lockouts to complete security overhauls. If you’re locked out, I’ll get you back in quickly without damaging your property – no drilling unless absolutely necessary. My van is stocked with quality locks from Yale, ERA, and Union, so I can complete most jobs in one visit. I’m particularly good at spotting and fixing small problems before they become big, expensive ones. That sticky lock or wonky door could be a simple adjustment away from working perfectly again. I’m honest about when you can repair rather than replace, which has saved my customers thousands over the years. For modern security needs, I install smart locks and CCTV systems, but I only recommend them when they genuinely add value. I’m refreshingly realistic about technology – if a traditional lock does the job better, that’s what I’ll suggest.

My Standards

I’m fully DBS checked and carry comprehensive insurance. I’m Checkatrade approved with excellent customer reviews that speak to my reliability and quality of work. Every job I do comes with proper guarantees – 90 days on my workmanship and 12 months on parts. I’m available 24/7 for emergencies and typically reach customers within 30 minutes. There are no call-out charges and no surprise fees – just transparent, fair pricing for professional work.

What My Customers Say

Local residents consistently praise my reliability, honesty, and skilled workmanship. Estate agents recommend me to new homeowners, and insurance companies know they can trust my security assessments. I’ve built my reputation one satisfied customer at a time, focusing on long-term relationships rather than quick profits. My customers particularly appreciate my ability to explain things clearly without patronizing them, and my willingness to show them how to maintain their locks properly. It’s this attention to detail and genuine care for my customers that keeps people coming back and recommending me to friends and family.
