Cundles Locksmith Pros
Plain talk about locks
This company started with one van, a bench full of cylinders and a habit that has never left: explaining the job before touching the door. The founder learned the trade the slow way, fitting deadbolts in draughty side entrances and pulling snapped keys out of car doors in the cold. Those early years taught a simple lesson. People care less about the mechanism and more about knowing what is happening to their home.
So we still talk first. We ask what worries you, look at the hardware, and describe what we would do and why. Then you decide. The tools are better now and the team is bigger, but that first conversation still sets the tone for every visit.
From lockouts to master keys.
Our habit is to explain as we go. You will hear why the strike is being moved, what the new pins do, and which of the three keys on the counter is the one that now opens everything. It slows the job by a few minutes and it means you leave the visit understanding your own door, which we think is part of the service.
The key you reach for. The door you come home to. Good locksmith work begins with understanding how you use them.

- Explained before any tool comes out. You will hear what we found, what we suggest and why, before anything is changed. If you want a minute to think, take it.
- Choices, not a single answer. Most problems have more than one fix. We lay out the practical options and the trade-offs, then let you choose the one that fits your home and budget.
- A tidy doorstep. Shavings swept, packaging taken away, the old hardware offered to you or disposed of. The only sign we were there is a lock that works.
How a visit goes
Describe the property, the hardware and what has changed, and the visit starts from what you have seen.
01
Identifying the small lock
Mailbox, cabinet and desk locks are small but varied. We identify the type and whether a key can be made, a cylinder replaced or the whole unit swapped.
02
Replacing or rekeying it
Most small locks are replaced rather than repaired because new parts are simpler than rebuilding tiny mechanisms. We fit the new cylinder and check the cam lines up with the catch.
03
A tested key and a spare
You get a tested key plus a spare, and a tip about where to keep it, because a mailbox key is the one people lose most.
