A locksmith who knows Chester

Chester locksmith calls come from a place that is half medieval city and half Victorian and Edwardian suburb. One job is a door inside the old walls near Eastgate Street, the next is a semi in Hoole or Handbridge, a flat in Blacon or a house over the border in Saltney. Our engineers are on call 24 hours a day, and you get a free quote on the phone before anyone is sent.

The CH postcode area is wider than most people expect. It runs from Chester across the Wirral to Birkenhead, Wallasey, Heswall and Ellesmere Port, and over the Welsh border to Mold, Flint, Buckley and Holywell. There is no callout fee if you go ahead, a fully insured engineer typically arrives in 15 to 20 minutes, and any lock we fit comes with a 12-month guarantee on parts.

Many homes in and around the old city walls are period properties with original timber doors, so a new lock has to suit the door as well as meet the security standard, while salt air on the Wirral coast corrodes exposed hardware faster.

The doors and locks we see most in Chester

  • Victorian and Edwardian semis in Hoole and Handbridge
  • Older terraced houses close to the city walls
  • Postwar family housing in Blacon

Where we work in the CH area

Typical homes: Victorian and Edwardian semis. An engineer is typically with you in 15 to 20 minutes, and within 30 minutes at most.
