Frequently Asked Questions — Hertford
-
How quickly can a locksmith reach me in Hertford?
For an emergency lockout in Hertford we normally arrive within 15 to 25 minutes, day or night. We cover the whole SG13 and SG14 area — the castle quarter and Fore Street, Bengeo, Sele Farm and Foxholes — so wherever you are stuck in the county town, the closest engineer is dispatched straight away.
-
Do you work on the older county-town houses as well as newer homes?
Yes, and carefully. Hertford's centre has Georgian and older houses around the castle and Fore Street with original doors that deserve respect — we favour non-destructive entry and fit British Standard mortice locks sympathetically. We equally cover Bengeo, Sele Farm and the newer developments, carrying multipoint mechanisms and anti-snap euro cylinders as standard.
-
Are your Hertford locksmiths DBS checked and insured?
Every locksmith we send to Hertford 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 castle and Bengeo.
-
What is the price of a lock change in Hertford?
Budget £89 to £129 for a cylinder change on a uPVC door. Timber doors needing a British Standard mortice sit between £119 and £159. Our engineers covering SG postcodes carry the common sizes on the van, so Hertford jobs are nearly always finished in one visit. You get the exact figure on the phone before an engineer is sent, and that is what you pay.
-
Which areas near Hertford do you cover?
Alongside Hertford itself we cover Bengeo, Sele Farm, Foxholes, Hertford Heath and Hertingfordbury, plus the wider SG postcode area towards Ware and Stevenage. If you are anywhere in east Hertfordshire, give us a call and we will confirm we can reach you.
What Our Customers Say
-
Locked out on Fore Street with the castle grounds closing around me. He arrived in about 18 minutes, opened our old door without a scratch and clearly knew period locks inside out.
-
Upgraded the locks on our Georgian townhouse near the castle without spoiling the original door. The BS3621 mortice fitted so neatly you'd never know. A craftsman.
-
uPVC door in Bengeo dropped and refused to lock. Engineer realigned it and serviced the gearbox in about 40 minutes. £90 and it locks with one finger now.
-
Break-in through the back door in Sele Farm while we were at work. They secured it that evening, fitted stronger locks next morning and checked every window. Calm and thorough.
-
Key snapped in the lock in Foxholes before the Liverpool Street train. Out within 40 minutes, broken key extracted, new cylinder fitted for £102. Quick and exactly as quoted.
