Our locksmiths handle high-security cylinders, mortice deadlocks, multipoint mechanisms and anti-snap euro cylinders, whatever your door.

Are your Harpenden locksmiths DBS checked and insured?

Every locksmith we send to Harpenden 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 between the Common and Batford.

What is the price of a lock change in Harpenden?

For rented and newly purchased homes the usual job is a cylinder change at £89 to £129. Landlord invoices and receipts are no problem. Whether you are in Harpenden itself or just outside, the AL rate card is the same. Payment is on completion by card or cash, at the price agreed before we set off.

What Our Customers Say

Locked out near the Common with dinner guests due. He arrived in about 18 minutes, opened the door without a mark and I even had time to decant the wine. Slick service.

Olivia W. Emergency lockout
Full security upgrade at our Edwardian house off the avenues — 3-star cylinders, new mortice on the side door and window locks throughout. One visit, immaculate work.

James H. Lock change
uPVC door in Batford dropped and refused to lock. Engineer realigned it and serviced the gearbox in about 40 minutes. £90 and it locks with one finger now.

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

Richard E. Burglary repair
Key snapped in the lock before the Thameslink. Out within 40 minutes, broken key extracted, new cylinder fitted for £105 — and I made the next fast train. Superb.
