A locksmith in Chester who confirms the price before starting

Whether it is a front door in Hoole, a back gate in Handbridge or a flat in Blacon, one call puts a Chester engineer on the way. We fit, repair and replace locks across the city, over the Wirral and into Flintshire.

Most calls we take in Chester 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.

Locksmiths who know Chester

Many homes in and around the old city walls are period properties with original timber doors, so a new lock has to suit the door as well as meet the security standard, while salt air on the Wirral coast corrodes exposed hardware faster.

Homes and doors we see most

  • Victorian and Edwardian semis in Hoole and Handbridge
  • Older terraced houses close to the city walls
  • Postwar family housing in Blacon

Places we work near
