1 Stop Locksmiths has a small team of locksmiths located in Greenwich who are all fully qualified and experienced and offer an exceptional professional service. Our Locksmiths are highly skilled in all aspects of getting locks opened. As our team are all experienced, qualified locksmiths we can get locks opened in minutes and in many cases without any damage to the lock itself.

1 Stop Locksmiths offer non-destructive opening methods where possible. This means if you are locked out of your home or office, we do try to pick open the lock first. If it is drilled open, the lock is destroyed and will need replacing. However, the more secure a lock is, the more difficult it is to open without the keys. Picking the lock open, particularly if the keys are inside, avoids the cost and inconvenience of having to have it replaced and extra keys cut. This method of opening does not damage it or prevent it from operating with the keys.

When choosing to use 1 Stop Locksmiths take piece of mind that the price you are quoted is the one you will be charged. Our Greenwich locksmiths will arrive within 30 minutes and for further piece of mind always arrive in sign written vans and wearing full uniform.

About Greenwich

Greenwich is a district of south London, England, located in the London Borough of Greenwich.

Greenwich is best known for its maritime history and for giving its name to the Greenwich Meridian (0° longitude) and Greenwich Mean Time.  The town became the site of a Royal palace, the Palace of Placentia from the 15th century, and was the birthplace of many in the House of Tudor, including Henry VIII and Elizabeth I.  The palace fell into disrepair during the English Civil War and was rebuilt as the Royal Naval Hospital for Sailors by Sir Christopher Wren and his assistant Nicholas Hawksmoor.  These buildings became the Royal Naval College in 1873, and they remained an establishment for military education until 1998 when they passed into the hands of the Greenwich Foundation.  The historic rooms within these buildings remain open to the public; other buildings are used by University of Greenwich and the Trinity College of Music.

The town became a popular resort in the 17th century with many grand houses, such as Vanbrugh castle established on Maze Hill, next to the park. From the Georgian period estates of houses were constructed above the town centre.  The maritime connections of Greenwich were celebrated in the 20th century, with the sitting of the Cutty Sark and Gipsy Moth IV next to the river front, and the National Maritime Museum in the former buildings of the Royal Hospital School in 1934.  Greenwich formed part of Kent until 1889 when the County of London was created.
