Frequently Asked Questions — Winchester
-
How quickly can a locksmith reach me in Winchester?
For an emergency lockout in Winchester we normally arrive within 20 to 30 minutes, day or night. We cover the whole SO22 and SO23 area — the High Street and cathedral quarter, Weeke, Badger Farm, St Cross and Winnall — so wherever you are stuck in the ancient capital, an engineer is dispatched straight away.
-
Do you work on the historic city-centre houses as well as modern homes?
Yes, and with the care they deserve. Winchester's centre is layer upon layer of listed buildings — Georgian townhouses, medieval cottages and everything between — where we favour non-destructive entry and fit British Standard mortice locks sympathetically. We equally cover Weeke, Badger Farm and the newer developments at Kings Barton, with multipoint mechanisms and anti-snap euro cylinders as standard.
-
Are your Winchester locksmiths DBS checked and insured?
Every locksmith we send to Winchester 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 cathedral and St Cross.
-
What do you charge to change a lock in Winchester?
Changing a euro cylinder costs £89 to £129 depending on the barrel. A full mortice deadlock replacement on a timber door is £119 to £159. Our Southampton engineers treat Winchester as home turf, so response and fitting times stay short. You get the exact figure on the phone before an engineer is sent, and that is what you pay.
-
Which areas near Winchester do you cover?
Alongside Winchester itself we cover Weeke, Badger Farm, St Cross, Winnall and Kings Barton, plus the wider SO postcode area towards Eastleigh and Southampton. If you are anywhere in the district, give us a call and we will confirm we can reach you.
What Our Customers Say
-
Locked out near the cathedral with evensong starting and my dinner defrosting. He arrived in about 25 minutes, opened our old door without a scratch and clearly knew heritage locks inside out.
-
Upgraded the locks on our Georgian townhouse without harming the original door — a BS3621 mortice fitted beautifully, brassware matched. He treated the house with real respect.
-
uPVC door in Weeke wouldn't lift to lock. Engineer realigned it and serviced the gearbox in about 40 minutes. £90 and it locks with one finger now.
-
Returned from holiday to a forced patio door in Badger Farm. They secured the house that evening, fitted upgraded locks and helped with the insurance photos. Kind and thorough.
-
Key snapped in the lock in St Cross before the Waterloo train. Out within 45 minutes, broken key extracted, new cylinder fitted for £105. Courteous and exactly on quote.
