How we get from Chelsea to Fulham SW6
Fulham sits right next door to us, which is why it is one of the areas we reach fastest outside SW3 and SW10. For Parsons Green, Eel Brook Common and the Peterborough Road side we drive straight along the King's Road, which turns into the New King's Road past the World's End. For Fulham Broadway, Walham Green and the Munster Road area we take the Fulham Road past Stamford Bridge instead.
Sands End and Imperial Wharf are reached along Lots Road and Townmead Road, and the Bishop's Park end is a short hop up from Fulham High Street near Putney Bridge. That gives you a usual arrival of 20 to 40 minutes. We confirm the time on the call, because a Chelsea home game or school run traffic on Wandsworth Bridge Road can add a few minutes.
We usually reach Fulham in 20 to 40 minutes from our base in Chelsea SW3; the exact time and price are confirmed on the phone before we set off.
Fulham streets, squares and neighbourhoods we cover
We cover the whole of SW6, from the river at Hurlingham up to Lillie Road and West Brompton. These are some of the roads we are called to most often:
The area around Moore Park Road and Fulham Broadway borders Chelsea itself, so if you are on the SW6 and SW10 boundary you will often get the shorter arrival time. If you are further west toward Barons Court, see our page for a locksmith in Hammersmith W6.

Victorian terraces and flat conversions: the locks Fulham doors carry
Most of Fulham is two storey Victorian terraced housing built in long straight streets, and a large share of those houses have since been split into an upper and lower flat. That one fact shapes most of the locksmith work in SW6.
Whole house, original timber door
Usually a rim nightlatch at chest height and a 5 lever mortice deadlock lower down. Many nightlatches here are old non British Standard models that can be slipped when the door is only pulled shut.
Most insurers expect a BS3621 mortice. We fit one for £60 to £85.
Converted house, two front doors
A shared street door plus a separate door for each flat, often with a cheap euro cylinder fitted during the conversion.
Swap to a TS007 3 star anti snap cylinder for £40 to £65.
Rear extension and garden doors
Kitchen extensions often have uPVC or aluminium bifold and French doors with multipoint locks that stiffen over time.
Gearbox or multipoint repairs cost £55 to £115.

What a Fulham locksmith is usually called out for
Because so many SW6 homes are rented or recently bought, the calls we get from Fulham lean toward a few clear patterns.
- Locked out after pulling the door shut. A nightlatch locks itself, so it is easy to step out to the bins without keys. We try non destructive entry first and only drill as a last resort. See our house and flat lockout service.
- New owners changing every lock. If you have just bought a terrace or a converted flat, you have no idea how many keys are still out there. A full same day lock change fixes that in one visit.
- Landlords between tenants. Fulham has a busy lettings market, and changing cylinders at each change of tenancy is a cheap safeguard.
- Weak cylinders on conversion doors. A standard euro cylinder can be snapped. Upgrading to a 3 star anti snap cylinder is one of the cheapest security improvements you can make.
- Garden and side gates. Rear gardens on the river side often back on to alleys, so gate locks matter here.
Emergency locksmith in Fulham on match days and late nights
When Chelsea play at home, the Fulham Road between Fulham Broadway and Stamford Bridge fills up with fans and some roads are restricted around kick off and full time. If you call us on a match day we will tell you honestly whether we expect delays and which way we will come in, usually along the New King's Road or Lots Road to avoid the stadium.
Late at night the run from Chelsea is quicker. Calls after the pubs around Parsons Green and Fulham Broadway close are often lost keys or a key snapped in a stiff lock. A broken key can usually be pulled out without damaging the cylinder; our snapped key removal costs £35 to £60.
If someone vulnerable is inside
If a child, a vulnerable adult or a pet is shut inside, or a hob or bath is running, call 999 first. Then call us on 07520 643913.
Sands End, Imperial Wharf and newer Fulham flats
The south east corner of Fulham around Sands End has changed the most. Riverside developments around Imperial Wharf and along Townmead Road bring purpose built flats with fob entry, concierge desks and fire rated flat entrance doors. Locks on those doors often need to stay compliant with the building's fire strategy, so we fit like for like hardware and do not remove closers or intumescent strips.
If your building is managed, check with the concierge or managing agent before we change a flat door lock, as some blocks run a restricted key system. Neighbouring developments over the boundary are covered on our Chelsea Harbour locksmith page.
How a call out to SW6 works, start to finish
- You call 07520 643913. Tell us your Fulham street, the door type and what has happened.
- We give a price range and an arrival time. Both are confirmed before we set off from Chelsea. You can ask for the price in writing on WhatsApp or text.
- We check proof of residence. Before opening any home we ask for ID, a tenancy agreement, a bill or a neighbour who can vouch for you.
- We open or repair the lock. Non destructive methods first. If a lock has to be replaced, the British Standard make and model goes on your invoice.
- You pay once the job is done and tested.

Common questions
How quickly can a locksmith get to Fulham?
From our base in Chelsea SW3 we usually reach Fulham in 20 to 40 minutes. Streets near Moore Park Road and Fulham Broadway tend to be at the quicker end, and Hurlingham or Bishop's Park at the longer end. We confirm the time when you call.
How much does an emergency locksmith in Fulham cost?
A house or flat lockout in SW6 is £45 to £75, with the lower figure for standard daytime jobs and the higher for nights, weekends or high security locks. There is no call out fee, and the price is agreed before we drive over. Our full price list is published.
I live in the top flat of a converted Fulham house. Can you change just my lock?
Yes. We can change only your flat door lock, or the shared street door too if the other flat owner or the freeholder agrees. Many conversions use a basic euro cylinder on the flat door, and a 3 star anti snap upgrade costs £40 to £65.
Do you come to Fulham when Chelsea are playing at home?
Yes. Match days slow the Fulham Road near Stamford Bridge, so we usually come in along the New King's Road or Lots Road instead. We tell you on the phone if we expect any delay.
Can you fit a lock that meets my insurance on a Fulham terrace door?
Most home insurers ask for a BS3621 five lever mortice deadlock on a timber front door. We supply and fit one for £60 to £85 and write the make and model on the invoice. Our BS3621 insurance guide explains what to look for.
Is your Fulham locksmith actually based in Fulham?
No, and we would rather say so. We are based in Chelsea SW3 and travel to SW6, which is next door. That is why we can usually be with you in 20 to 40 minutes rather than promising an unrealistic time.
