Services
Lock Repairs
CTML specialises in repairing all types of locks, from modern PVCu door mechanisms to Victorian-era heritage locks. Using in-house machinery and traditional handcrafting techniques, we rebuild obsolete components, replace worn parts, and restore functionality without requiring full lock replacement. Our environmentally conscious approach prioritises repair over renewal, offering cost-effective solutions for residential and commercial properties.
Key Cutting Service
We provide precision key cutting for all lock types, including high-security, safe, and vintage keys. Using computerised machines and traditional hand-finishing methods, we duplicate keys to code or from existing samples. Our service covers Yale, lever, dimple, and tubular keys, with genuine blanks sourced from leading manufacturers to ensure accuracy and durability.
Master Key Systems
CTML designs bespoke master key systems for hotels, offices, and factories, allowing tiered access control. Our in-house assembly ensures rapid turnaround, while patented key systems prevent unauthorised duplication. Systems can be expanded incrementally, reducing upfront costs and enabling seamless replacements for lost keys or compromised locks.
Smart Security Alarms
Our wireless intruder alarm systems use battery-powered sensors and channel-hopping technology for jamming resistance. Installed in half a day without disruptive cabling, they integrate motion detectors, door contacts, and smartphone alerts. The systems offer visual verification via on-board cameras and pet-tolerant sensors, ensuring reliable security for homes and businesses.
Emergency Exit Hardware
We supply and install emergency exit hardware compliant with BS EN 1125 and BS EN 179 standards. Services include panic bar fitting, push pad installation, and compliance audits for commercial buildings. Our solutions ensure safe, intuitive evacuation routes while maintaining security, with expert advice on risk assessment and regulatory adherence.
