A locksmith in Hitchin who confirms the price before starting
Hitchin is a Hertfordshire market town with a large medieval church, a market place and older streets around Bancroft and Tilehouse Street, with later housing spreading out to Walsworth and Bearton. Our engineers cover the town and nearby Ickleford, Pirton, Codicote and Kimpton.
Most calls we take in Hitchin 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.
