Locked out, moving home, or upgrading your security? When you need a locksmith in South Yorkshire, you speak directly to the owner — not a call centre — for everything from emergency lockouts to full lock replacements and repairs.
My name is Stefan.
I started SIDE because I got tired of seeing homeowners worry about who they could trust when they needed a locksmith.
Whether you've locked yourself out at midnight or need to secure your home after a break-in, I believe you deserve honest advice, clear pricing and someone who treats your home with the same respect they'd treat their own.
That's the standard SIDE was built on.

My wife and I had a lock replacement by Stefan. This man is professional, knowledgeable, pleasant, respectful, has excellent customer service and went above and beyond to make us feel we had made an informed decision for our new lock. Words cannot describe how exceptional this locksmith is. He is simply the best.

I was more than happy with your service and I found you to be a pleasant and up-front young man. The job was well done and you did not waste time. I was very pleased I'd called you and would recommend you to anyone. Hope you do well.
Jean Earland
My key snapped inside the lock and I thought I was going to need the whole lock replaced. Stefan managed to remove the broken key and get the door working again. He explained everything clearly and didn't carry out any unnecessary work. Great service.
