Solihull
From Shirley's uPVC estates to the offices around Homer Road, our M42-corridor engineer keeps Solihull covered day and night — usually on your doorstep in under 30 minutes, with the price fixed before any work starts.
Residential estates, commercial parks — one van covers both
Solihull's housing is younger than most of Birmingham's, and that shapes the work. The estates around Shirley, Monkspath and Hillfield run almost entirely on uPVC and composite doors, so the classic Solihull call-out is a multipoint mechanism that has given up — the handle lifts, the key spins, the door stays open (or worse, stays shut). We stock the common gearboxes and strips on the van and fix most of them the same visit.
In Knowle, Dorridge and Hampton-in-Arden the picture flips: period cottages and farmhouse doors with rim locks and old mortice cases that deserve careful, non-destructive work. We open and restore rather than drill, and we can add discreet insurance-rated security without spoiling an original door.
Around Homer Road, Cranmore and Birmingham Business Park we handle the commercial side — staff-leaver lock changes, master-key suites, keypad access and out-of-hours emergency boarding, often under priority contracts with facilities teams.

Local questions
Solihull FAQs
Do you charge extra to come out to Solihull?
No. Solihull is part of our core patch, not an add-on — the M42 corridor engineer covers it around the clock. You pay the same fixed prices as central Birmingham, with no call-out fee and no travel charge.
How long will a locksmith take to reach Solihull town centre?
Under 30 minutes in most cases. Our south-east engineer patrols between Shirley and the airport corridor, so Solihull town centre, Olton and Elmdon are typically 20–30 minutes away. Knowle, Dorridge and Balsall Common can take a little longer at peak times, and we always give an honest arrival estimate when you call.
Can you handle commercial lock work for Solihull businesses?
Yes — offices around Solihull town centre and units on the Cranmore and Monkspath estates are a regular part of our week. We fit master-key suites, digital keypads and fire-escape hardware, and we offer priority response contracts for facilities teams and letting agents.
My uPVC door in Shirley will not lock — is that something you fix?
Almost certainly. Failed multipoint gearboxes are the single most common job we do in Shirley and the newer developments off the Stratford Road. We carry the common mechanisms on the van and repair most doors in one visit, with a 12-month guarantee on parts and labour.
