A locksmith who knows Edinburgh

Edinburgh is a city of flats, from Georgian terraces in the New Town to Victorian tenements in Marchmont, Leith and Newington, most with solid timber doors opening onto a shared stair. Our engineers cover the whole city and the surrounding EH postcode area, from Musselburgh, Dalkeith and Penicuik to Livingston, Bathgate and Haddington, and across the Forth side at Queensferry.

Calls are answered 24 hours a day, and there is no callout fee if you go ahead whatever the hour. If you need an Edinburgh locksmith at any hour, call and we will arrange the rest.

Many Old Town and Southside flats around the university are let to students and festival visitors, so keys go astray and locks need re-keying more often between tenants.

The doors and locks we see most in Edinburgh

  • Georgian New Town flats and townhouses around the West End and Stockbridge
  • Victorian tenements in Marchmont, Leith, Newington and Gorgie
  • Council-built estates and flats in Wester Hailes and Niddrie

Where we work in the EH area

Typical homes: Georgian New Town flats and Victorian tenements. An engineer is typically with you in 15 to 20 minutes, and within 30 minutes at most.
