Our Services

From emergency lockouts to planned lock upgrades, door replacements and woodwork repairs – Goff’s Locks offers a comprehensive range of services for residential and commercial customers across Hemel Hempstead, Watford, St Albans, Stanmore, Harrow and the surrounding areas.

Emergency Lockout Service

Locked out of your home or business? We’ll get you back in as quickly and cleanly as possible, with as little damage to the door and frame as we can manage. Once you’re inside, we can assess and repair or replace the lock on the same visit.

We cover all HP, WD, AL postcodes, Stanmore and Harrow.

Lock Repair & Replacement

Whether your existing lock is worn, damaged or simply not secure enough, we supply and fit a wide range of locks to suit your door and your requirements. All locks are supplied and fitted by us – you don’t need to source anything yourself. We work with mortice locks, euro cylinders, night latches, rim locks, deadbolts, oval cylinders, multi-point locking systems, rim cylinders and cam locks.

Locks, Doors & Frames

A break-in is a stressful and unsettling experience. The last thing you need is to wait days for different tradespeople to restore your home. Goff’s Locks can carry out the complete repair – from the lock to the door, frame and surrounding woodwork – in a single visit.

Door & Frame Repair or Replacement

As experienced carpenters as well as locksmiths, we can repair or replace any type of door – internal or external, residential or commercial. This includes wooden doors, UPVC doors, composite doors and more. We also work on door frames, architrave and surrounding woodwork, including rotten timber repairs that other locksmiths simply cannot offer.

Window Lock Repair & Replacement

We repair and replace locks on box sash windows and standard sash windows, and other frames – keeping your home secure without compromising the character of the window. Frame repairs and rotten timber replacement also available.

Padlocks, Cam Locks & Commercial Security

We supply and fit padlocks and cam locks for sheds, outbuildings, garages and commercial premises. From simple upgrades to complete overhauls of door hardware, we’ll advise on the most appropriate solution for your security needs.

Types of Locks We Supply & Fit

Not sure which lock is right for your door? We'll advise you on the best option for your home or business — and we supply and fit everything. Here's an overview of the lock types we work with.

Internal & external doors - Mortice locks
Fitted into a recess in the door. A very secure, traditional option for wooden front and back doors.
The most common cylinder type in the UK. Used in most multi-point locking systems on modern doors.

Spring-bolt locks that lock automatically when the door closes. Often used alongside a mortice lock.

Mounted on the surface of the door rather than recessed in. Common on older properties.

Can only be opened with a key – no spring mechanism. Highly resistant to forced entry.

An oval-profile alternative to the euro cylinder, used in some door types and older locks.

Used in rim locks and night latches. Easy to replace when upgrading older door security.

Lock at multiple points along the door edge simultaneously. Standard on most modern UPVC and composite doors.

Compact, rotating locks used in filing cabinets, lockers, electrical panels and light commercial doors.

We supply and fit quality padlocks for sheds, garages, gates and commercial outbuildings.

Burglary Repair - Locks, Doors & Frames

A break-in is a stressful and unsettling experience. The last thing you need is to wait days for different tradespeople to restore your home. Goff’s Locks can carry out the complete repair – from the lock to the door, frame and surrounding woodwork — in a single visit.
What we repair

Everything a forced entry can damage

When a door is forced, the damage is often not limited to the lock. Door frames split, architrave is ripped away, beading comes loose, and timber around the frame can be cracked or splintered. In some cases the door itself needs replacing. Because we are both locksmiths and carpenters, we can address all of this:

Lock replacement

New lock supplied and fitted to make your home secure again immediately.

Door repair or replacement

Wooden, UPVC and composite doors repaired or fully replaced as needed.

Frame & architrave repair

Split or damaged frames and architrave repaired and made good.

Timber repair

Rotten or damaged timber around doors and windows replaced properly.

Help with insurance claims

If you’re making an insurance claim following a break-in, we can provide detailed information about the work carried out and the parts fitted. Ask us about this when you call.

You're in safe hands

Goff’s Locks is fully DBS checked. We work quickly, cleanly and with respect for your home. Our goal is to leave your property secure, repaired and looking as it should — as soon as possible after the break-in.
