A locksmith who knows Preston

Preston is a Lancashire city on the River Ribble, and much of it is Victorian terraces: rows of mill-era streets in Deepdale, Avenham and Fishwick, with Georgian and Victorian townhouses around Winckley Square and postwar estates at Ribbleton and Larches. The PR area reaches beyond the city to Penwortham, Fulwood, Longridge, Chorley, Leyland, Kirkham and Southport, and our engineers cover all of it.

Calls to the 24-hour line are answered at any hour, and there is no callout fee if you go ahead. For a Preston locksmith, ring the line and we will take it from there.

Many Victorian terraces in Preston have a front door on the street and a back door onto a rear alley, and the back-door lock is often the older, simpler one.

Do nights and weekends cost more?

No. The price is the same at 3am on a Sunday as it is at midday on a Tuesday, bank holidays included.

Can you fit insurance-approved locks?

Yes. BS3621 mortice deadlocks for timber doors and anti-snap euro cylinders for uPVC and composite doors. Tell us what your policy asks for and the engineer brings the right lock.

Do you charge a callout fee?

No callout fee when you go ahead with the job. If you decide not to go ahead after the engineer has arrived, a £49 assessment fee covers the visit. Otherwise you pay for the job itself in Preston, at the price the engineer confirms with you before starting.

How does pricing work?

Tell us the door, the lock and what has happened, and we give you a free quote on the phone. When the engineer arrives, they check the lock and confirm the final price with you before starting any work. Nothing is done without your agreement. A £49 assessment fee applies only if you cancel after the engineer has arrived.

Yes. The same 24-hour line covers the whole PR postcode area, including Penwortham, Longridge, Kirkham, Garstang, Chorley, Leyland and Southport.

Can you look at the back door of my terrace as well as the front?
