About Gerry

I'm Gerry Commane, owner of The Key Locksmith.

I was born in London in 1978 and served as a Royal Navy Naval Airman between 1998 and 2003. After leaving the Armed Forces, I spent several years working on major construction projects across London, including Wembley Stadium and North Middlesex Hospital.

I've lived locally since 2006 and built The Key Locksmith around values that matter to me – honesty, reliability, quality workmanship and treating people fairly.

Today, I help homeowners, landlords and businesses throughout Sydenham, South East London and Kent with everything from emergency lockouts and lock repairs to burglary repairs, vehicle keys and security upgrades. When you call The Key Locksmith, you'll speak directly with me and in most cases I'll be the locksmith attending your property.

I believe good customer service is about more than simply fixing locks. It's about turning up when promised, being transparent about costs, doing the job properly and leaving customers feeling safe and looked after.

"Not all heroes wear capes!! Thank you so much for your help today getting my car open after my son locked himself in there on the hottest day of the year. I was kept updated constantly which helped keep me calm and Gerry clearly got there as soon as traffic allowed for."

A Recent Locksmith Job In Sydenham

Recently I attended a property near Sydenham Hill where the homeowner could no longer secure their front door properly. The key had become increasingly difficult to turn before the multipoint locking mechanism failed completely.

After diagnosing the fault, I replaced the failed gearbox, serviced the locking system and realigned the door. The customer avoided the expense of a full mechanism replacement and had their home secure again the same day.

Problems with multipoint locks, worn gearboxes and dropped doors are some of the most common faults I encounter throughout Sydenham and the surrounding SE26 area.

Lock Repairs & Lock Replacements

Not every faulty lock needs replacing.

Many lock problems are caused by worn cylinders, failed gearboxes, broken mechanisms or doors that have moved out of alignment over time. After diagnosing the problem, I'll explain the available options and recommend the most cost-effective solution.

I regularly repair and replace locks from leading manufacturers including:

Where required, replacement locks can be supplied to British Standard and insurance-approved specifications, including anti-snap and high-security options.

uPVC & Composite Door Lock Specialists

uPVC and composite doors are common throughout Sydenham and one of the most frequent reasons customers call me.

Common issues include:

  • Failed multipoint locking systems
  • Broken gearboxes
  • Snapped lock cylinders
  • Stiff or seized locks
  • Misaligned doors
  • Dropped hinges

With years of experience working on uPVC and composite doors, I can diagnose and repair most problems quickly and professionally, often avoiding the need for a complete door replacement.

The Key Locksmith also provides a professional mobile auto locksmith service throughout Sydenham and the surrounding areas.

Services include:

  • Vehicle Opening
  • Lost Car Keys
  • Spare Car Keys
  • Remote Key Programming

My mobile workshop is equipped with specialist programming and diagnostic equipment, allowing many vehicle key issues to be resolved at your location.

Burglary Repairs & Emergency Boarding

If your property has been broken into, securing your home quickly becomes the priority.

I provide emergency burglary repairs, lock replacements, boarding-up services and security upgrades throughout Sydenham. Whether a door has been forced, a lock damaged or glazing broken, I can help secure the property and restore your peace of mind.

Home Security Upgrades In Sydenham

Many customers contact me after moving home, following a burglary or simply wanting better protection for their family.

I supply and install high-security upgrades including:

  • Ultion 3 Star Plus Cylinders
  • ABS 3 Star Cylinders
  • TS007 Security Handles
  • London Bars
  • Birmingham Bars
  • Hinge Bolts
  • Door Reinforcement Products

These upgrades help protect against common attack methods such as lock snapping, lock bumping and forced entry, giving homeowners greater peace of mind.
