  • uPVC door won't lock. Multipoint mechanism failed — common in victorian and edwardian terraces after years of use. Same-day repairs.

Frequently Asked Questions — Bristol

  • What services does your Bristol locksmith offer?

    Lockouts, lock changes, uPVC door repairs, key extraction, burglary repairs, and BS3621 insurance-grade fitting. We do not handle car keys or safes, just residential and small commercial doors.

  • Do you operate 24 hours in Bristol?

    Yes, every day of the year including bank holidays. The number is the same. Out-of-hours calls are routed to whichever engineer is closest to you.

  • How long does a standard lock change take?

    About 30 to 45 minutes for a single euro cylinder, longer if you want anti-snap upgrades or BS3621 deadlocks fitted. Most Bristol period properties have either nightlatch and mortice combinations or modern multipoint setups.

  • Are your prices fixed or do they change once you arrive?

    Fixed. We quote you on the phone, and that is what you pay. The only reason it would change is if you asked for additional work once we were on site, which we'd quote separately.

  • Can you fit insurance-approved locks?

    Yes, BS3621 deadlocks and SS312 Diamond cylinders are both standard fits. If your insurer has a specific spec, just tell us when you book and we'll bring the right product on the van.

  • Do you give a warranty on the work?

    12 months on parts we supply and fit, against manufacturing defects. Forced entry damage or wear from misuse isn't covered. We keep records so you can call back if anything fails.

  • What areas around Bristol do you cover?

    All BS postcodes, plus Bath (BA), Keynsham, Yate, Clevedon, Nailsea, and the immediate Somerset border. Outside that, call us anyway, we may still be able to help depending on engineer location.

What Our Customers Say

  • Garage padlock had rusted shut. Other locksmiths I called wanted to send someone out without quoting. These guys gave me £60 over the phone and stuck to it.
    Gareth E. Lock change
  • uPVC front door wouldn't lift to lock properly. Engineer diagnosed a worn keep and dropped hinges, all fixed in one visit. Won't hesitate to call again if the back door goes the same way.
    Charlotte N. uPVC door repair
  • Rural property near Clevedon, 25 minute drive. They quoted me a fair price including travel and stuck to it. Door was kicked in by an attempted break-in, full lock change including frame repair.
    Helen V. Burglary repair
  • We had a break-in attempt on our place in Bishopston. Door frame splintered but they didn't get in. Same day the engineer boarded it up, came back next morning to fit BS3621 locks for the insurance. Sorted.
