After over 33 years of running my locksmith business here in Edinburgh, family health issues forced me into full retirement during 2024. However I have now decided to reverse things a wee bit and go back to “semi-retirement”. As a result “All Very Handy” was set up last year to provide a bespoke maintenance and security service to Property Factors and other valued customers who may have used my locksmith services previously when trading as A1 Lockman Security Ltd.

Over the years I found my locksmith business had changed substantially from just pure locksmithing to covering many other tasks. I received continual requests from Property Managers asking me to undertake these fiddly wee jobs that some other contractors either could not undetake or were simply unwilling to do.

►   Stairway maintenance & tread reinstatement.

►   Signage.

►   Notice Boards.

►  Minor Paint Works.

►  Remedial work to communal entry doors.

►  Door Stops.

►  Bulb replacement.

►  Paintwork and wall corner protection items.

►  Door Closers and emergency Hardware.

►  Door Handles.

►  Combination / Digital locks for service and storage spaces.

►  Registered Keys. (for locks supplied by me.)

Please note a full “locksmith” service is no longer available.
I do not deal with emergency lock-outs and there is no 24Hr service.
Lock changes/upgrades and a reduced key cutting service is still available.
I will normally respond to any work requests within 24 to 36 hours.
Fully insured with £2M Public Liability cover.
