A locksmith in Exeter who confirms the price before starting
Exeter mixes Georgian terraces, Victorian villas and busy student streets, and our employed engineers are used to all of them. One phone line, open 24/7, reaches an engineer for the city, Topsham, Exmouth and the villages around them.
Most calls we take in Exeter 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.
