Need a Locksmith in New Haw Today?
Yes, we cover New Haw in both KT15 and KT16, for emergencies and for planned work. Three problems account for most calls from here: being locked out, a lock that has jammed or stopped catching, and a lock change after moving house or losing keys. We take emergency calls 24 hours a day on every day of the year, nights, weekends and bank holidays included, and never charge for the call-out.
Tell us your postcode and briefly what has happened, and you will hear the expected price before we come out. Our emergency locksmith page for Woking explains urgent work in more detail. [PROVIDER PACK: credentials, for example DBS checks and public liability insurance]

One local detail matters more than it looks: New Haw falls under Runnymede Borough Council rather than Woking Borough Council, even though we serve it from Woking. If you are checking planning rules or a council tenancy, Runnymede is the authority to ask. [CLIENT TO CONFIRM: that every named area is genuinely served, and remove any that are not.] Unsure whether your street is included? Call with the postcode and we will tell you.

Why the Locks on New Haw Homes Vary Street by Street
Around 14,100 people live in New Haw, approximated from output areas at the 2021 Census (ONS, 14,135 usual residents). That makes it the largest of the three neighbouring towns we serve from Woking, ahead of West Byfleet and Sheerwater. New Haw grew in stages, and the lock on a front door here usually tracks the stage its house was built in.
What stands out is the semi-detached house. Of 5,531 New Haw households, 41.7% live in semis, compared with 24.2% across Woking (Census 2021, ONS TS044). Detached houses account for 32.0%, terraces 10.3% and flats 13.5% (Census 2021, ONS TS044). Bungalows are also unusually common: 14.1% of New Haw properties, double Woking's 7.1% (VOA Council Tax stock of properties, March 2026). For a locksmith, that means a New Haw call usually concerns a single front door and a side or back door on a house, not a shared entrance. A quick photo of the lock and door edge, sent when you call, helps us anticipate what is fitted.
Interwar homes from 1900 to 1939
New Haw has more pre-war housing than Woking as a whole: 21.0% of homes were built between 1900 and 1939, against 16.1% for Woking, with a further 4.3% from before 1900 (VOA Council Tax stock of properties, March 2026). Where these houses keep a timber front door, expect a mortice lock set into the edge of the door, often alongside a nightlatch fixed to the inside face. Some insurance policies specify a lock meeting BS 3621; read your policy, then check the faceplate for the British Standard kitemark instead of relying only on how many levers the lock has. We can fit a compliant lock through our.
Post-war semis and bungalows from 1945 to 1982
The largest group, 44.7% of New Haw homes, dates from 1945 to 1982 (VOA Council Tax stock of properties, March 2026). Plenty of these semis and bungalows have had their original doors replaced with uPVC at some point, so the hardware reflects the year of that replacement, not the build date. An older uPVC door tends to run a dated multipoint mechanism with an unrated euro cylinder, which is the combination most prone to failing or being snapped. Usually the gearbox can be repaired without a new door;.
Homes built since 1983
Newer housing makes up 15.8% of New Haw homes from 1983 to 2008 and 14.3% from 2009 onwards (VOA Council Tax stock of properties, March 2026). These normally have composite or uPVC doors with a euro cylinder driving a multipoint lock. The cylinder is where these doors are weakest, so it is the part worth upgrading. Cylinders carrying recognised ratings such as TS 007 3-star or SS312 Diamond may provide additional resistance to common cylinder attacks.
On planning, no conservation area and no Article 4 direction touching doors or windows is recorded for New Haw (planning.data.gov.uk, October 2026). That national dataset has gaps, so treat this as unknown rather than none, and check with Runnymede before replacing a whole door. A lock change on its own is not a planning matter.
What New Haw Customers Call Us About
New Haw jobs cover the same ground as anywhere else in Woking; the list below is just what comes up most.
If none of these quite fits, describe the problem when you call.
Renting or Letting a Property in New Haw?
Tenants should usually ring their landlord or letting agent before ringing us. In New Haw, 75.3% of households own their home, 10.7% rent privately, 10.7% rent from a social landlord and 3.2% are in shared ownership, well above Woking's 0.9% (Census 2021, ONS TS054). Shared owners and social tenants should check their lease or tenancy for who handles lock repairs, since a housing provider may have its own contractor. A landlord or agent may also have a spare key or an agreed emergency-access process. If nobody can be reached, nobody can attend, or the home cannot be made secure, call us and explain. We will ask for identification or reasonable evidence that you live at the address before any entry work starts.
Landlords: changing locks between tenants is routine and can be booked for the changeover date rather than handled as an emergency. Cylinders on several properties can be keyed alike if one person needs to open them all. See our residential locksmith page.
How Quickly Can We Reach New Haw?
You will get a realistic estimate on the call, not a headline promise. [PROVIDER PACK: arrival range when a technician is already nearby]; more typically [PROVIDER PACK: arrival range]. [CLIENT TO CONFIRM: sign-off on the published arrival sentence.] The time depends on which part of New Haw you are in, the hour, and whether a technician is finishing another job. New Haw has no railway station of its own, so we come by road, and traffic on Chobham Road and Guildford Road can add minutes at busy times. We will tell you if the estimate changes. For urgent cases, see our 24-hour emergency locksmith service.

New Haw Locksmith Questions
Do you cover both KT15 and KT16? Yes. New Haw spreads across both districts, with a few KT14 postcodes too, and we cover all of them, out toward Row Town, Brox and Ottershaw. Give us your postcode to confirm.
How quickly can you get to me in New Haw? [PROVIDER PACK: arrival range] if a technician is already close by, though [PROVIDER PACK: arrival range] is more usual. It depends on your part of New Haw, the time and traffic. We give an estimate on the call and update you if it shifts.
I live in a 1950s semi. What lock is likely on it? Probably a replacement uPVC door with a multipoint lock and euro cylinder, since many New Haw semis from 1945 to 1982 have had their timber doors changed. Pre-war houses more often keep a timber door with a mortice lock. Look for a British Standard kitemark on the faceplate.
Do you charge a call-out fee in New Haw? No, never. You pay for the work carried out, any parts needed, and VAT. Weekday lockouts start from £70.80 including VAT, and outside Monday to Friday, 7am to 6pm, the rate is higher.
I rent in New Haw. Should I call you or my landlord? Usually your landlord, agent or housing provider first, as they may hold a spare. If they cannot help in time, call us; we will ask for reasonable proof that you live there before opening the door.
My uPVC door will not lock. Does it need replacing? Seldom. On New Haw semis and bungalows where the original door was replaced with uPVC years ago, the usual culprit is the multipoint mechanism or gearbox inside the door. That is normally a repair; see uPVC door lock repairs.
Does New Haw come under Woking council? No. New Haw is in Runnymede Borough Council's area, though we serve it from Woking. It makes no difference to our service, but Runnymede is the council for planning or council-tenancy questions.
