How quickly can a locksmith reach me in Chichester?

For an emergency lockout in Chichester we normally arrive within 20 to 30 minutes, day or night. We cover the whole PO19 area — the four main streets under the cathedral spire, Summersdale, Parklands and Whyke — so wherever you are stuck, an engineer is dispatched straight away.

Do you work on the Georgian city-centre houses as well as modern homes?

Yes, and carefully. Chichester's centre is Georgian streetscape from the Cross to the walls, with original panelled doors that deserve respect — we favour non-destructive entry and fit British Standard mortice locks sympathetically. We equally cover Summersdale, Parklands and the newer developments, carrying multipoint mechanisms and anti-snap euro cylinders as standard.

Are your Chichester locksmiths DBS checked and insured?

Every locksmith we send to Chichester is DBS checked and fully insured, carrying £2m public liability cover. You will always deal with a properly vetted, uniformed engineer, which matters when you are letting someone into your home late at night anywhere inside or outside the walls.

How much does it cost to change a lock in Chichester?

A common job is replacing a euro cylinder on a uPVC or composite door. We charge from £89 to £129 for a TS007 3-star euro cylinder, supplied and fitted, which is the anti-snap standard insurers and Sussex Police recommend. We confirm the price before we start any work, so there are no surprises once the job is done.

Which areas near Chichester do you cover?

Alongside Chichester itself we cover Summersdale, Parklands, Whyke, Fishbourne and Lavant, plus the wider PO postcode area towards Havant and Portsmouth. If you are anywhere between the Downs and the harbour, give us a call and we will confirm we can reach you.

What Our Customers Say

Locked out near the Cross with theatre tickets for that evening. He arrived in about 20 minutes, opened our Georgian door without a mark and we made the curtain. Wonderful.

Penelope A. Emergency lockout
Upgraded the locks on our townhouse inside the walls without spoiling the original door. The BS3621 mortice looks like it's always been there. Real craftsmanship.

William G. Lock change
uPVC door in Summersdale wouldn't lift to lock. Engineer realigned it and serviced the gearbox in about 40 minutes. £90 and it locks with one finger now.

Diana F. uPVC door repair
Returned from holiday to a forced patio door in Parklands. They secured the house that evening, fitted upgraded locks and helped with the insurance photos. Kind and thorough.

Edward M. Burglary repair
Key snapped in the lock in Whyke on a frosty morning. Out within 45 minutes, broken key extracted and a new anti-snap cylinder fitted for £105. Courteous and exactly on quote.
