A locksmith who knows Stornoway

Stornoway is the main town of the Western Isles, on the east coast of Lewis around its harbour, with Lews Castle looking over the water from its wooded grounds. The HS postcode area covers the Outer Hebrides, from Lewis and Harris through North Uist, Benbecula and South Uist to Barra. Homes range from stone cottages and harled houses in the crofting townships to newer timber-frame houses, and our engineers cover them all.

Distances and island travel mean timings vary across the Outer Hebrides, so give us your postcode and we will tell you the arrival time on the call. If you need a Stornoway locksmith, call and we will arrange the rest.

Atlantic gales, driving rain and salt in the air are hard on hinges, handles and cylinders, and a strong gust can slam a door shut with the keys still inside.

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 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.

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 Stornoway, at the price the engineer confirms with you before starting.

How do I pay?

Do you cover Harris, the Uists and Barra as well as Lewis?

Yes. The same 24-hour line covers the whole HS postcode area, from Stornoway and Tarbert to Lochmaddy, Balivanich, Lochboisdale and Castlebay. Island travel can add time, so give us your postcode on the call and we will tell you the arrival time.

My front door has gone stiff after a winter of Atlantic weather. Can the lock be repaired?

Often, yes. Salt air and driving rain wear on cylinders, hinges and handles, and our engineers can free, repair or replace the lock and check the door closes properly. The engineer confirms the price before starting work.
