How quickly can a locksmith reach me in Thatcham?

For an emergency lockout in Thatcham we normally arrive within 20 to 30 minutes, day or night. We cover the whole RG18 and RG19 area — the Broadway and town centre, Dunston Park, Henwick and out towards Cold Ash — so wherever you are stuck, an engineer is dispatched straight away.

Do you cover the older village heart as well as the newer estates?

Yes. Thatcham pairs its old village core around the Broadway with the big estates that grew from the 1960s onwards and the newer developments at Dunston Park and Kennet Heath. Our locksmiths carry parts for traditional mortice locks and nightlatches as well as multipoint mechanisms and anti-snap euro cylinders for uPVC and composite doors.

Are your Thatcham locksmiths DBS checked and insured?

Every locksmith we send to Thatcham 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 Kennet and Cold Ash.

How much does a new lock cost fitted in Thatcham?

A single cylinder change is £89 to £129 fitted. Doing several doors in one visit brings the per-lock price down, and we can key them alike. Thatcham homes get the same fixed pricing we use across the whole RG postcode area. You get the exact figure on the phone before an engineer is sent, and that is what you pay.

Which areas near Thatcham do you cover?

Alongside Thatcham itself we cover Dunston Park, Kennet Heath, Henwick, Cold Ash and Midgham, plus the wider RG postcode area towards Newbury and Reading. If you are anywhere along the Kennet valley, give us a call and we will confirm we can reach you.

What Our Customers Say

Locked out on the Broadway with the school pickup looming. He arrived in about 20 minutes, had the door open in moments and I made the gates with time to spare. Lifesaver.

Kerry L. Emergency lockout
Our Kennet Heath new-build came with basic cylinders, so we upgraded everything to 3-star anti-snap. Keyed alike, explained clearly, done in an hour. Great job.

Martin G. Lock change
uPVC door in Dunston Park wouldn't lift to lock. Engineer realigned it and serviced the gearbox in about 40 minutes. £90 and it's been faultless since.

Alison B. uPVC door repair
Someone forced the side gate and had a go at the back door while we were out. They secured everything the same evening and fitted stronger locks, with practical advice throughout.

Neil D. Burglary repair
Key snapped in the lock in Henwick before an early train. Out within 45 minutes, broken key extracted and a new cylinder fitted for £99. Quick, kind and exactly as quoted.
