  • Locked out of home or rental. Lost keys, broken keys, or door slammed shut. Non-destructive entry within 20 minutes typical.
  • uPVC door won't lock. Multipoint mechanism failed — common in victorian terraces and georgian town houses after years of use. Same-day repairs.
  • Lock change after moving in. Standard practice in Oxford rentals and new home purchases. BS3621 insurance-rated locks available on the van.
  • Burglary or attempted break-in. Emergency boarding-up overnight, full lock replacement next morning. We work directly with insurers.

Frequently Asked Questions — Oxford

  • What services does your Oxford locksmith offer?

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

  • Do you operate 24 hours in Oxford?

    Yes, every day including bank holidays. Out-of-hours calls are routed to whichever engineer is closest across OX postcodes.

  • How long does a standard lock change take?

    About 30 to 45 minutes for a single euro cylinder, longer for anti-snap upgrades or BS3621 deadlocks. Many Oxford Georgian and Victorian properties have nightlatch and mortice combinations which take a touch longer.

  • Are your prices fixed before arrival?

    Yes. Phone quote is the price you pay. Only changes if you ask for additional work on site, which gets quoted separately.

  • Can you fit insurance-approved locks?

    BS3621 deadlocks and SS312 Diamond cylinders are stocked on every van. Tell us your insurer's spec when booking.

  • Do you give a warranty?

    12 months on parts we supply and fit, against manufacturing defects. Forced entry damage or wear from misuse isn't covered.

  • What areas around Oxford do you cover?

    All OX postcodes plus Abingdon, Witney, Bicester, and Banbury. Outside that, call anyway depending on engineer location.
