About Us
Your Trusted Partner for Property Access and Photography
Hello, I’m Ian, the owner of Lock-Pics, where I blend my extensive experience as a seasoned locksmith with a passion for photography. This specialized service began when a London firm needed urgent assistance opening a vacant commercial property on Ramsgate High Street, as they couldn’t send their own representative. They also required photographs, as the local estate agent hadn’t delivered. Recognizing a clear demand for a reliable, combined solution, I’ve proudly continued to offer this unique service ever since. Beyond expert property access, Lock-Pics provides comprehensive photographic documentation, including detailed property condition assessments, aerial drone photography and videography, and advanced thermal imaging services.
Our Story: Bridging a Crucial Gap
The inception of Lock-Pics was a direct response to a real-world problem faced by property professionals. That call regarding the Ramsgate High Street property highlighted a significant challenge: the difficulty of coordinating secure, non-destructive access for unoccupied sites, especially when coupled with the immediate need for accurate, high-quality visual documentation. It became clear that managing separate contractors for these essential tasks was inefficient and often resulted in delays. My unique background allowed me to seamlessly combine these two critical services, offering a single, trustworthy point of contact that saves time, reduces logistical complexities, and ensures comprehensive results for estate agents, property managers, and solicitors.

This combination allows Lock-Pics to not only open the door but also to document the entire story of a property’s condition, providing invaluable insights. I pride myself on professionalism, discretion, and a meticulous approach to every assignment.
