This one's personal. I run a locksmith business, but before that I'm a husband and a dad, and we're human after all.

Thanks for bearing with me.
Four months ago I didn't know if I'd be bringing my partner home.

Gemma was diagnosed with placenta percreta. Her placenta had grown through her womb.

After three previous C-sections, it's the thing every doctor fears. I pushed hard to get her to the specialist team at Saint Mary's in Manchester, and she was blue-lighted there on 11 June.

On 15 June she went into theatre. 11 hours. An emergency caesarean hysterectomy. 8.5 litres of blood transfused. Two days in intensive care.

At 00:46 our daughter Elyse arrived. 31 weeks. 1360g. Ventilator, then CPAP, then breathing on her own. Every gram counted.

Then the first cuddle. Then her brothers and sisters meeting her. Then in July, walking out of that hospital with a car seat.

She's home now. Three months old and getting chunkier by the day. Gemma is still recovering, and she's the strongest person I know.

I made a song about it and put this video together. We watched it the other night and cried our eyes out.

To the team at Saint Mary's Manchester and the SCBU at Blackpool Victoria: you saved both of them. There aren't words.
If you've been through anything like this, or you're in it right now, our inbox is open. ā¤ļø

One Born Every Minute starts tonight on E4, and our story is coming up later in the series.
Elyse. Our little miracle.

Adam, Blackpool Locksmiths. Thank you for all the support, it means more than you know.

A broken key in the lock is often the first warning your door security needs attention.

In the photo from a recent job, thereā€™s a white uPVC-style door with a silver handle and a key snapped off inside the lock cylinder. When keys fracture like this, it can stop the door from locking properlyā€”and it can also leave the cylinder vulnerable depending on wear and damage.

For small businesses and commercial premises, itā€™s worth doing a quick check:
- Can the door still lock smoothly (no stiffness or grinding)?
- Do you have spare keys cut and stored safely (so youā€™re not stuck during a busy day)?
- If the cylinder is damaged or repeatedly failing, upgrading the lock cylinder is usually safer than repeatedly trying to ā€œwork aroundā€ the problem.

Able Locksmiths can help with urgent lock repairs and security upgrades across the Fylde Coast, including Blackpool and Lytham St Annes.

48. 80. 80. 70. 73. 44. 80. 73. 34. Then: ā€œYeah. I heard click.ā€
That final click is doing a lot of work here.
What do you think the numbers are meant to be?

Then he casually says a professional safecracker takes 45 minutes to an hour and a half. Absurdly specific, somehow even more believable.

ā€œIā€™m a professional safecracker, and for me, it takes 45 to an hour and a half.ā€
That is an unhinged sentence to hear out loud.

When business doors are used all day, wear isnā€™t just cosmeticā€”it can affect security.

In the photo, you can see a keyed cylinder with the key inserted and a worn, dirty metal escutcheon on a textured white door. Over time, grime and looseness can make locks harder to operate and may leave gaps for draughts, forced entry attempts, or faster cylinder wear.

For shops, offices, and landlords on the Fylde Coast, itā€™s worth checking:
ā€¢ Does the key turn smoothly every time?
ā€¢ Is the escutcheon loose, corroded, or visibly worn?
ā€¢ Are there signs of tampering around the cylinder/door edge?

A quick service or upgrade can keep your access control reliableā€”Able Locksmiths can help with commercial lock maintenance, replacements, and security improvements across Lytham St Annes, Blackpool, Poulton-le-Fylde, Fleetwood, Thornton-Cleveleys, and Preston.

Thinking about a smart lock? Great choiceā€”just donā€™t ignore whatā€™s already failing.

A smart lock canā€™t stop corrosion in the door hardware. As you can see in the close-up, a heavily corroded keyhole plate and keyway can make doors harder to secure and more awkward to use, even if the lock itself is ā€œsmartā€.

Before upgrading, itā€™s worth checking:
- Is the keyway/faceplate corroded or loose?
- Does the door align properly so the latch engages cleanly?
- Have you got reliable power (batteries) and a plan if the battery fails?

Able Locksmiths can help you choose the right smart lock for your door and make sure the surrounding hardware is soundā€”so your upgrade actually works as intended.

French and patio doors are often targeted because the locking points can be the weakest link.

If youā€™ve got a multi-point lock, check this: when you lock the door, do you feel resistance as the bolts throw, or does it lock ā€œtoo easilyā€? That can point to wear, misalignment, or a mechanism that isnā€™t engaging properly at the keeper points.

Also look closely at the strike/keepers: if any are slightly off, the door may still close, but the locking points wonā€™t fully seatā€”leaving a gap that can be exploited.

Able Locksmiths can check the operation of your French/patio door locking mechanism on the Fylde Coast and recommend a practical upgrade or adjustment before it becomes an issue.

Can leaving a key in a gate lock make things worse?

It can. In the photo from a recent job, you can see a Yale lock with a brass key left inserted in a ribbed metal shutter/gateā€”along with chipped paint and visible wear around the lock area.

When locks are exposed to damp, grit and ongoing movement, the mechanism can seize more easily and the surrounding housing can corrode. That makes it harder to turn the key smoothly, and in the worst cases it can delay access during an emergency.

If your gate/shutter lock has chipped paint, stiffness when turning, or any signs of wear around the cylinder, itā€™s a good time to get it checked and (if needed) upgraded.

Able Locksmiths can help around Lytham St Annes, Blackpool, Poulton-le-Fylde, Fleetwood, Thornton-Cleveleys, Preston and the Fylde Coastā€”whether itā€™s a quick repair or a security upgrade.
