Bike lock jammed or combination forgotten?

Bike locks are designed to resist cutting and picking. That is exactly why a lost key or forgotten combination is so frustrating: your own security is now working against you. Hacking at a good U-lock or D-lock with the wrong tools usually damages the bike frame or wheel long before the lock gives way.

Sam unlocks and removes bicycle locks cleanly using the right techniques, U-locks, D-locks, cable locks and combination locks, protecting the frame and wheels so your bike is ready to ride afterwards.

Proof of ownership is required before Sam removes any bike lock. A locksmith who removes bike locks with no questions asked is helping thieves, not cyclists, so bring a receipt, the bike’s registration or insurance, photos of you with the bike, or other reasonable proof. Lock removal is from £80, fixed price before he starts, no call-out fee.
