Lock Work Sam Covers in High Green and Burncross
Six kinds of job account for nearly every call out at this end of Sheffield, and all of them are work on a building rather than a vehicle.
- Lockouts, opened by picking the lock rather than drilling it wherever the lock allows.
- uPVC door mechanisms, where the handle lifts but the key will not turn.
- Lock changes, after a move, a tenancy ending or a key that never came back.
- Anti snap cylinder and security handle upgrades fitted together on the front door.
- Composite doors that have dropped on their hinges and bind on the frame.
- Damage after a forced entry, made safe the same day and repaired properly after.
Because High Green is close, a lockout here is answered rather than booked. The methods used to open a door, and the reasons drilling is the last resort rather than the first, are set out on the emergency locksmith page.
How Quickly Sam Reaches High Green and Chapeltown
This is the quickest corner of the patch, and the table sets out what that means by job rather than giving one figure for everything.
| Kind of job | How it works in High Green | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Lockout, any time of day | Come straight out, usually in minutes rather than half an hour | High Green sits at the near edge of the area Sam covers |
| Door will not lock, nobody shut out | Either straight out or booked, whichever suits you | Booking means the part is on the van before he sets off |
| Lock change or an upgrade | Usually booked, so the cylinder is measured from a photo first | It saves a second visit for the right size |
| Overnight lockout | Ring and ask, because it depends where Sam is | He answers the phone himself and says honestly how long he will be |
The honest exception applies everywhere. Sam works alone, so if he is already under a door somewhere else the wait is longer, and he tells you how long rather than giving an arrival time he cannot keep.
Places Around High Green That Sam Travels To
The villages at the top of Sheffield run into each other, so the whole group is covered on the same terms and at the same price.
- High Green, Burncross, Mortomley and Westwood
- Thorncliffe and Chapeltown on the eastern side
- Grenoside and Ecclesfield heading back towards the city
Chapeltown has a page of its own because it carries enough work to need one, and the villages listed here are reached on the same run. None of them changes the price, because the distance is not charged as an extra.
Doors and Locks in High Green Housing
Housing at this end of Sheffield falls into three rough groups, and each one puts a different lock on the front door.
- Ironworks era terraces and older brick housing, often still carrying a wooden door with a mortice lock and a night latch.
- Post war and nineteen sixties estates, where the original doors have been replaced with uPVC and the cylinder is now the weak point.
- Newer estates around Burncross and the village edges, almost all composite doors with a multipoint mechanism.
An older wooden door is judged on its mortice lock and the British Standard kitemark stamped on the faceplate, while a uPVC or composite door is judged on the cylinder and its star rating. Sam can tell which you have from one photograph of the edge of the door and one of the lock from outside.
What Decides the Price of a High Green Job
Five things decide the price, and the street you live on is not one of them. The figure Sam gives on the phone is the figure you pay.
- The job itself, because a lock change and a mechanism replacement are different work.
- The parts, since a cylinder, a handle and a full mechanism are different items.
- The door, as a composite door takes longer to set right than a uPVC one.
- The hour it is booked for, since an evening visit is charged differently.
- How many doors are in the job, since a whole house is quoted as one piece of work.
There is no call out fee, no VAT and no weekend surcharge. Sam takes card, bank transfer or cash when the work is finished. If the quote changes once he sees the door, he says so before he starts and you can stop there owing nothing.

High Green Locksmith Questions Answered in Short
Short answers on how quickly Sam reaches High Green, which villages he covers, what moves the price and what he takes on. If your question is not here, call Sam on 07842 685254.
Do you cover High Green
Yes. High Green, Burncross, Mortomley, Westwood, Thorncliffe, Chapeltown, Grenoside and Ecclesfield are all covered, and this is the quickest corner of the patch to reach.
How fast can you get to High Green
Usually minutes rather than half an hour, because High Green sits at the near edge of the area Sam covers. The real figure is given on the call before he sets off.
Will you come out at night
Yes. The phone is answered 24 hours by Sam himself, and late night lockouts in this part of Sheffield are answered rather than booked for the morning.
Do you charge extra for an evening visit
The hour it is booked for is one of the things that moves the price, and that is settled on the phone before he travels. There is no call out fee and no VAT at any hour.
My uPVC door has to be lifted hard before it locks
That is the multipoint mechanism wearing out rather than the handle or the key. The door still works for now, which is exactly when it is worth booking, because once it fails completely it tends to fail with the door shut.
How much does a locksmith cost in High Green
It depends on the job, the parts and the time of day rather than the postcode. The figure is given on the phone before Sam sets off and that is what you pay.
Can you upgrade my locks while you are here
Yes, and it is worth doing in the same visit if the cylinder is old. A 3 star cylinder with a security handle covers both of the quick ways through a uPVC door, and fitting an anti snap cylinder explains how the two work together.
Do you board up broken glass
No. Boarding up is glazing work, so a glazier is the trade to ring. Sam makes the lock and the door secure once the glass has been sorted out.
Do you do car keys
No. Sam works on buildings rather than vehicles, so a car key or a vehicle lock needs an auto locksmith instead.
What if you cannot fix it
You pay nothing. There is no fix and no fee, and no call out charge even if he has to return with a part.
Who turns up and how do I book
Sam, every time, in one signwritten van. Call or WhatsApp 07842 685254, or send a photo for anything that is not urgent. Every way of reaching him is on the where to find his number and hours.
