A locksmith in Derby who confirms the price before starting
Edwardian terraces in Normanton, interwar semis in Allestree and flats near the Cathedral Quarter are everyday work for our Derby engineers. Ring the 24 hour line for a free quote on fitting, repairs or replacement.
Most calls we take in Derby 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.

Locksmith in Derby: common questions
What does a locksmith in Derby cost?
Lockouts start from £39, lock changes from £88 and uPVC gearbox replacements from £89, plus VAT where applicable. You get a free quote on the phone, and the engineer confirms the price before starting.
What do you work on?
Front and back doors on homes and small businesses: lockouts, lock changes, lock repairs, uPVC and composite doors, window locks and repairs after a break-in. We do not work on cars or safes.
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 Derby, at the price the engineer confirms with you before starting.
How do I pay?
When the job is finished. Card, cash or bank transfer, and you get a written receipt you can use for an insurance claim.
Do you cover Ilkeston, Burton upon Trent and Matlock as well as Derby?
Yes. The DE area includes Ilkeston, Swadlincote and Burton upon Trent as well as Matlock, Belper, Ashbourne and Bakewell. The same 24 hour line, no callout fee if you go ahead, and free phone quote apply throughout.
My timber door swells and sticks in wet weather. Is that a lock problem?
It can be either. A swollen door can stop a lock from throwing, so the engineer checks the door, the lock and the keep before suggesting a repair or a replacement. The price is confirmed with you before work begins.
