My Petersham house has original Victorian timber doors. Can you upgrade the locks without ruining the woodwork?

Yes, that's a common job for us here. We fit British Standard anti-snap cylinders and, where the frame allows, a British Standard five-lever mortice deadlock, all done carefully to avoid splitting or marking the original timber. We'll tell you honestly if a frame is too far gone to hold a new lock securely.

Petersham sits quietly between Richmond Hill and Ham, mostly within TW9, about 3 miles from our base in central Richmond. It's a well-heeled village feel rather than a suburb, with a mix of Georgian and Victorian detached houses, a few older cottages, and some substantial gated properties set back from Petersham Road. We get called out here for a fair spread of jobs, from locked-out homeowners to security upgrades on period timber doors that haven't had new hardware in decades.

Most of our Petersham calls come from properties along Petersham Road itself, River Lane, and the quieter residential lanes off towards the meadows. We typically drive down the A316 then pick up the A307 through Richmond Hill, which keeps journey times short even in heavier traffic. Older detached homes here often have original wooden door frames that have dropped over the years, which makes multi-point lock alignment a recurring issue, and a surprising number still have single-cylinder deadlocks that offer very little real protection.

Petersham FAQ

Usually yes. If the A307 through Richmond Hill is slow we can come via Ham and approach from the south along Petersham Road instead. Either way we're generally with you within 25-30 minutes, sometimes quicker outside peak hours.
