A locksmith who knows Leicester

Leicester grew on hosiery, boots and shoes, and the Victorian terraces built for its workers still fill Highfields, Clarendon Park and Aylestone. Many are now shared houses for students and young professionals, since the city has two universities, while council estates from the 1950s such as Braunstone have their own long-running door and lock repairs. Our engineers cover the whole city and the towns around it, from Oadby and Wigston to Loughborough, Hinckley and Melton Mowbray.

Our line answers 24 hours a day and there is no callout fee if you go ahead. Most arrivals fall within 15 to 20 minutes, and 30 is the longest. Every engineer is fully insured and carries BS3621 and anti-snap cylinders, and parts fitted are covered for 12 months. For a Leicester locksmith at any hour, call and we will take it from there.

Victorian terraces in Highfields, Clarendon Park and Aylestone are often let as shared houses, so keys go missing and locks need re-keying whenever tenants change.
