Who is Bugsy?

Donald ‘Bugsy’ Edwards runs Keywise, family-run, independent, and the 2024 Police & Crime Commissioner Community Volunteer of the Year (Hampshire & Isle of Wight). The award recognises years of looking after the Waterside community, especially the vulnerable and elderly. Read the official PCC write-up.

Can I call a Fareham locksmith now with no call-out fee?

Locked out, locks need upgrading, or just want a quick chat about what your insurer needs? Ring 07453 327708. Most Fareham jobs reached inside under 45 mins from the waterside.

Common questions

How quickly can a locksmith get to me in Fareham if I’m locked out?

Most Fareham jobs we reach in under 45 minutes from the Waterside, day or night. You ring 07453 327708 and you get Bugsy, not a call centre or a waiting list. If you’re locked out, the first move is to pick the door open, not drill it. That saves your lock and your money. No call-out fee on top either. Tell us where you are in PO14-PO17 and we’ll give you a straight time, no drama.

What lock do I need to meet my home insurance in Fareham?

Most UK insurers want a British Standard 3621 mortice deadlock on wooden doors, and 3-star anti-snap cylinders on UPVc doors. We fit both, and they meet every standard UK home insurance requirement. If you’re not sure what your policy says, ring us and we’ll walk through it in plain English before you spend a penny. Everything quoted up front, no VAT surprises. We do this work across Fareham, Stubbington, Titchfield and Whiteley every week, so it’s a regular run for us.

Can you fix a UPVc door that won’t lock in Fareham?

Yes. When a UPVc door stops locking it’s usually the multipoint gearbox gone, or hinges and alignment drifting out. We carry every common UK gearbox on the van, so most jobs are sorted in one visit. Plenty of the newer estates around Whiteley have these doors, so we see them often. We’ll tell you straight whether it’s a repair or a replacement part, and quote it up front. No call-out fee, no waiting list, no pressure to do more than you need.

Are you actually based in Fareham?

We’re based on the Waterside, about 45 minutes from Fareham, and we cover PO14-PO17 daily. Plenty of national chains will tell you they’re local when they aren’t. We won’t. What matters is we get there quick, we open the door without breaking it where we can, and we quote up front with no call-out fee. Same pricing whether you’re in Fareham town centre, Portchester, Stubbington or Titchfield. Ring 07453 327708 and you’ll speak to Bugsy himself.

Donald 'Bugsy' Edwards, founder of Keywise, with the 2024 Police and Crime Commissioner Community Volunteer of the Year award

Donald “Bugsy” Edwards

Founder, Keywise 24hr Locksmiths. Family-run on the SO45 Waterside since 2013.

Everyone round here calls me Bugsy, and I still answer my own phone, day or night. I got into this trade because I could not stand hearing how people were treated at the worst moment, locked out, broken into, or a door that failed when they needed it most, and then charged the earth for it. So I do it the other way. I tell you straight what a job needs and what it does not, I fix rather than replace where I can, and I never add a call-out fee or VAT. In 2024 the Hampshire Police and Crime Commissioner named me Community Volunteer of the Year, and that one meant the most, because it came from the community I work in. No call centre, no script, just me and the van.
