Book a call-outLooking for a local locksmith in Hemsworth? S Fretwell & Sons have helped many happy customers make their premises more secure for both domestic and commercial property owners. We have various industry accreditations, including being on the South Yorkshire Police Approved Locksmith register, and years of practical experience and knowledge that make us among the best in the business.
S Fretwell & Sons offer a range of locksmith services across Hemsworth and the Barnsley region, including:
For our commercial property owners and retail or office managers, we can install:
One of the most common issues we deal with is problems with external uPVC doors. Over time, locks can wear out, so it’s worth seeking expert advice on a door lock upgrade and considering servicing your uPVC door to extend its life and maintain optimum security.
If you live in Hemsworth, give us a call if you’re experiencing issues with faulty locks, door misalignment, or any other issue… a lock replacement is more affordable than buying a new door.
We recommend our customers consider Ultion door locks, a type of high-security, anti-snap lock designed to combat some of the most common methods of forced entry used by thieves.
Ultion locks offer several features that enhance your property’s security. For example, the majority of standard door locks have five security pins, but these anti-snap locks have 11, capable of creating 294,970 different key combinations.
They also have a strong molybdenum core that’s 25% denser than iron, which helps prevent lock drilling and snapping. The product enters lockdown mode if it’s tampered with, enhancing your home security.
Window locks can often break or stop functioning properly, and many people ignore the problem when this happens. However, as experienced locksmiths, we recommend servicing your windows, including handles and mechanisms, before intruders have a chance to access your home or business.
In addition to the services listed above, we also offer an emergency call-out service. Should you find yourself locked out of your property, or you’ve been the victim of a break-in, contact us and we will aim to be with you within the hour.
Our mobile workshop lets us carry out most lock repairs and replacements on the spot. S Fretwell & Sons uses locks from all the biggest manufacturers, and everything we fit meets British Standards.
We recently attended a property in Hemsworth, where the ERA multipoint locking mechanism on a front composite door had failed.
The property was only six years old, so the locking mechanism should have lasted considerably longer. We suspect poor door alignment may have contributed to the gearbox failing prematurely by putting unnecessary strain on the internal components.
We replaced the faulty ERA gearbox, fully serviced the door, and corrected the alignment to ensure the locking mechanism operated smoothly.
The front door now locks and unlocks correctly, and the customer was very happy with the repair.
All work is covered by our two-year parts and labour guarantee.

Our call-outs are free, so if we don’t fix the problem, you won’t be charged.
Wherever possible, we will repair rather than replace to keep the cost down for our customers.
If we do need to replace any parts, they are backed by our 2-year guarantee.
