How quickly can a locksmith reach me in Kendal?

For an emergency lockout in Kendal we normally arrive within 20 to 30 minutes, day or night. We cover the whole LA9 area — Highgate and Stricklandgate, Kirkland, the yards off the main streets and the estates towards Oxenholme — so wherever you are stuck in the Auld Grey Town, an engineer is dispatched straight away.

Do you cover the old limestone buildings and yards as well as newer homes?

Yes. Kendal's centre is limestone terraces, snickets and historic yards where doors are old, characterful and rarely square — we favour non-destructive entry and fit British Standard mortice locks sympathetically. We equally cover the modern estates towards Oxenholme and Burneside with multipoint mechanisms and anti-snap euro cylinders carried as standard.

Are your Kendal locksmiths DBS checked and insured?

Every locksmith we send to Kendal 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 in town or out in a South Lakeland village.

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

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 Cumbria Police recommend. We confirm the price before we start any work, so there are no surprises once the job is done — including on damp-swollen doors after a Lakeland winter.

Which areas near Kendal do you cover?

Alongside Kendal itself we cover Oxenholme, Burneside, Natland, Staveley and towards Windermere, plus the wider LA postcode area towards Lancaster. If you are anywhere in South Lakeland, give us a call and we will confirm we can reach you.

What Our Customers Say

Locked out in one of the yards off Highgate with rain bouncing off the cobbles. He arrived in about 25 minutes, coaxed our crooked old door open without damage and was cheerful throughout.

Fiona D. Emergency lockout
Wanted proper locks on our limestone terrace in Kirkland without wrecking the original door. He fitted a BS3621 mortice beautifully and eased the swollen frame while he was at it. Craftsman.

Robert N. Lock change
uPVC door on the Oxenholme side swelled after a wet week and wouldn't lock. Engineer adjusted the hinges and keeps and serviced the mechanism. £85 and it's worked through every storm since.

Helen G. uPVC door repair
Someone forced the workshop door and tried the house while we were at the lakes. They secured everything the same day and fitted stronger locks, with sensible advice and no scaremongering.

Ian T. Burglary repair
Key snapped in the lock on Stricklandgate before opening the shop. Out within the hour, broken key extracted and a new cylinder fitted for £102. Quick, kind and completely professional.
