A locksmith in Chelmsford who confirms the price before starting
From 1930s semis in Springfield and Great Baddow to new-build estates at Beaulieu and Great Notley, our engineers are used to the mix of uPVC, composite and timber doors found across the CM area. We cover Chelmsford, Brentwood, Harlow, Braintree, Maldon and the villages between.
Most calls we take in Chelmsford are one of three things: someone locked out, a lock that has stopped working, or a household that wants the locks changed after lost keys or a move. You describe the door and the lock, we give you the price, and the nearest engineer drives to you.
Our engineers carry the common cylinder sizes, nightlatches, mortice locks and uPVC gearboxes, so most jobs are finished in one visit.
